recharts VS victory

Chartjs looks great, but I've never used it so can't recommend personally. I've used https://recharts.org a lot with success.

We first build the dashboard page where we present stats for relevant KPIs in cards, charts and a table. We use the React-based Recharts library for plotting our data.

Hi all, I am one of the (few) current maintainers of the relatively popular recharts charting library.

This library has more than 20K stars on GitHub and more than 1.3 million weekly downloads on NPM as of August 2023.

Recharts is another React charting library that simplifies creating charts by providing a wide range of chart components out of the box. It is built on top of D3.js but abstracts away the complexities, making it easier for React developers to create interactive and visually appealing charts and graphs. Recharts leverage the power of SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) for rendering, allowing charts to be scalable and fit on any screen size.

Recharts is a charting library that allows you to create attractive and informative data visualizations.

The next scene I had in mind was an animated pie chart. There are so many charting libraries around that I was sure one of them would fit my needs. The pie chart below was rendered using recharts, utilizing its mount animation. To get the results, I recorded my screen like the first scene.

This is the last integration of this article, and maybe the most fun! A dashboard cannot be considered complete unless we show a chart or diagram to visually display information. For this part of the demo, we’ll use mui for the components and recharts for the graphs.

Victory is a set of modular charting components for React and React Native. Victory makes it easy to get started without sacrificing flexibility. Create one of a kind data visualizations with fully customizable styles and behaviors. Victory uses the same API for web and React Native applications for easy cross-platform charting.

Victory Native is a chart library that was developed in 2015. It has been 7 years since its inception. With a high cumulative download count of 7,434,044, it has garnered an impressive 10.3k+ stars on GitHub. It is the longest-standing and most widely used chart library in the history of React Native.

Anyone use Victory? It looks like it is gaining traction.

For convenience of others, here’s a link to Victory Native’s project site (it’s a react.js library with a native version, so be sure to find the native docs).

Victory is a ReactJS and React Native chart library created by Formidable. It's based on ReactJS and D3, and comes with a slew of fully configurable charts pre-installed.

I've enjoyed using Victory - needs React tho: https://formidable.com/open-source/victory/

Victory is great, it doesn't officially support React 18 yet, you'll get warnings because the peer version is still looking for React 17, but it shouldn't be an issue if you force install. It's really just that the tests won't work with React 18, but it should be fine to use it in your project.

They have an open issue for React 18 support, but they are stuck because they are using Enzyme for unit tests (which is effectively obsolete and will likely never work with React 18). So their plan appears to be to move from Enzyme to RTL first and then support React 18.
