Sidekiq-Cron VS Chart.js

sidekiq-cron

Depending on how far into the future you're planning to, it could be worth storing the datetime you want it executed on a field like perform_work_at within your database. Then use sidekiq-cron to check a few times a day for if the perform_work_at has passed & the work needs to be done.

The cron job itself was not a huge hassle; the sidekiq-cron gem worked really well for me here to get everything configured in the application.

If what you need is a job (related to application) you can use sidekiq with sidekiq-cron [https://github.com/ondrejbartas/sidekiq-cron] running every x seconds or when a job ends starts a new one.

ChartsJS for inspiring me with the pie chart.

Most of frontend libraries are made with Vanilla JS. An example of library that you might frequently use is "Chart.js". But React is not compatible with Chart.js so here it comes "React-chartjs-2" A wrapper library to work with Chart.js in React ecosystem. Oh you want to use "three.js" for some cool 3D? you will need "React-three/fiber". In my case, I need to implement "telegram-web-app", not so fast, I have to create my own wrapper to be able to use it.

Chart.js

Chart.js is a free, open-source JavaScript library for data visualization, which supports eight chart types: bar, line, area, pie, bubble, radar, polar and scatter. It's licensed under the permissive MIT license and is renowned for being flexible, lightweight, easy to use and extendible.

They are images so it could be any number of things, datawrapper, charts.js, d3.js to name a few options.

Charts.js for creating diagrams

Connie Leung wrote a tutorial to demonstrate how these new hooks work, integrating an Angular app with the Chart.js library: "DOM reading and writing with new lifecycle hooks in Angular"

Thanks to all who participated in our 2023 Self-Host User Survey! Below is a link to the results, which we've visualized using Chart.js.

Chart.js

I used chart.js [0], but I don't necessarily endorse it - it's just what I knew how to use quickly. I usually try to keep my posts free from javascript, and could have used a different tool that gives me SVG data or images.
