Chart

Beautiful charts. Built using Recharts. Copy and paste into your apps.

Introducing Charts. A collection of chart components that you can copy and paste into your apps.

Charts are designed to look great out of the box. They work well with the other components and are fully customizable to fit your project.

Browse the Charts Library.

Component

We use Recharts under the hood.

We designed the chart component with composition in mind. You build your charts using Recharts components and only bring in custom components, such as Chart.Tooltip, when and where you need it.

module MyChart = {
  @react.component
  let make = () => {
    <Chart>
      <Chart.Recharts.BarChart data={data}>
        <Chart.Recharts.Bar dataKey="value" />
        <Chart.Tooltip content={<Chart.TooltipContent />} />
      </Chart.Recharts.BarChart>
    </Chart>
  }
}

We do not wrap Recharts. This means you're not locked into an abstraction. When a new Recharts version is released, you can follow the official upgrade path to upgrade your charts.

The components are yours.

Installation

Your First Chart

Let's build your first chart. We'll build a bar chart, add a grid, axis, tooltip and legend.

Start by defining your data

The following data represents the number of desktop and mobile users for each month.

components/ExampleChart.res
let chartData = [
  { DataRow.month: "January", desktop: 186, mobile: 80 },
  { month: "February", desktop: 305, mobile: 200 },
  { month: "March", desktop: 237, mobile: 120 },
  { month: "April", desktop: 73, mobile: 190 },
  { month: "May", desktop: 209, mobile: 130 },
  { month: "June", desktop: 214, mobile: 140 },
]

Define your chart config

The chart config holds configuration for the chart. This is where you place human-readable strings, such as labels, icons and color tokens for theming.

components/ExampleChart.res
let chartConfig = dict{
  "desktop": {
    Chart.label: "Desktop",
    color: "#2563eb",
  },
  "mobile": {
    label: "Mobile",
    color: "#60a5fa",
  },
}

Build your chart

You can now build your chart using Recharts components.

@@directive("'use client'")

type chartDatum = {month: string, desktop: int, mobile: int}

Add a Grid

Let's add a grid to the chart.

Add the CartesianGrid component to your chart.

<Chart config={chartConfig} className="min-h-[200px] w-full">
  <Chart.Recharts.BarChart accessibilityLayer=true data={chartData}>
    <Chart.Recharts.CartesianGrid vertical=NoLine />
    <Chart.Recharts.Bar dataKey="desktop" fill="var(--color-desktop)" radius=4.0 />
    <Chart.Recharts.Bar dataKey="mobile" fill="var(--color-mobile)" radius=4.0 />
  </Chart.Recharts.BarChart>
</Chart>
@@directive("'use client'")

type chartDatum = {month: string, desktop: int, mobile: int}

Add an Axis

To add an x-axis to the chart, we'll use the XAxis component.

Add the XAxis component to your chart.

<Chart config={chartConfig} className="h-[200px] w-full">
  <Chart.Recharts.BarChart accessibilityLayer=true data={chartData}>
    <CartesianGrid vertical=NoLine />
    <Chart.Recharts.XAxis
      dataKey="month"
      tickLine={false}
      tickMargin={10}
      axisLine={false}
      tickFormatter={(value) => value.slice(0, 3)}
    />
    <Chart.Recharts.Bar dataKey="desktop" fill="var(--color-desktop)" radius=4.0 />
    <Chart.Recharts.Bar dataKey="mobile" fill="var(--color-mobile)" radius=4.0 />
  </Chart.Recharts.BarChart>
</Chart>
@@directive("'use client'")

type chartDatum = {month: string, desktop: int, mobile: int}

Add Tooltip

So far we've only used components from Recharts. They look great out of the box thanks to some customization in the chart component.

To add a tooltip, we'll use the custom Chart.Tooltip and Chart.TooltipContent components from chart.

Import the Chart.Tooltip and Chart.TooltipContent components.

Add the components to your chart.

<Chart config={chartConfig} className="h-[200px] w-full">
  <Chart.Recharts.BarChart accessibilityLayer=true data={chartData}>
    <Chart.Recharts.CartesianGrid vertical={NoLine} />
    <Chart.Recharts.XAxis
      dataKey="month"
      tickLine={false}
      tickMargin={10.0}
      axisLine={false}
      tickFormatter={(value) => value->String.slice(~start=0, ~end=3)}
    />
    <Chart.Tooltip content={<Chart.TooltipContent />} />
    <Chart.Recharts.Bar dataKey="desktop" fill="var(--color-desktop)" radius={4.0} />
    <Chart.Recharts.Bar dataKey="mobile" fill="var(--color-mobile)" radius={4.0} />
  </Chart.Recharts.BarChart>
</Chart>
@@directive("'use client'")

type chartDatum = {month: string, desktop: int, mobile: int}

Hover to see the tooltips. Easy, right? Two components, and we've got a beautiful tooltip.

Add Legend

We'll do the same for the legend. We'll use the Chart.Legend and Chart.LegendContent components from chart.

Import the Chart.Legend and Chart.LegendContent components.

Add the components to your chart.

<Chart config={chartConfig} className="h-[200px] w-full">
  <Chart.Recharts.BarChart accessibilityLayer=true data={chartData}>
    <Chart.Recharts.CartesianGrid vertical={NoLine} />
    <Chart.Recharts.XAxis
      dataKey="month"
      tickLine={false}
      tickMargin={10.0}
      axisLine={false}
      tickFormatter={(value) => value->String.slice(~start=0, ~end=3)}
    />
    <Chart.Tooltip content={<Chart.TooltipContent />} />
    <Chart.Legend content={<Chart.LegendContent />} />
    <Chart.Recharts.Bar dataKey="desktop" fill="var(--color-desktop)" radius={4} />
    <Chart.Recharts.Bar dataKey="mobile" fill="var(--color-mobile)" radius={4} />
  </Chart.Recharts.BarChart>
</Chart>
@@directive("'use client'")

type chartDatum = {month: string, desktop: int, mobile: int}

Done. You've built your first chart! What's next?

Chart Config

The chart config is where you define the labels, icons and colors for a chart.

It is intentionally decoupled from chart data.

This allows you to share config and color tokens between charts. It can also work independently for cases where your data or color tokens live remotely or in a different format.

let chartConfig = dict{
  "desktop": {
    Chart.label: "Desktop",
    icon: Monitor,
    // A color like 'hsl(220, 98%, 61%)' or 'var(--color-name)'
    color: "#2563eb",
    // OR a theme object with 'light' and 'dark' keys
    theme: {
      light: "#2563eb",
      dark: "#dc2626",
    },
  },
}

Theming

Charts have built-in support for theming. You can use css variables (recommended) or color values in any color format, such as hex, hsl or oklch.

CSS Variables

Define your colors in your css file

app/globals.css
@layer base {
  :root {
    --chart-1: oklch(0.646 0.222 41.116);
    --chart-2: oklch(0.6 0.118 184.704);
  }
 
  .dark: {
    --chart-1: oklch(0.488 0.243 264.376);
    --chart-2: oklch(0.696 0.17 162.48);
  }
}

Add the color to your chartConfig

components/ExampleChart.res
let chartConfig = dict{
  "desktop": {
    Chart.label: "Desktop",
    color: "var(--chart-1)",
  },
  "mobile": {
    label: "Mobile",
    color: "var(--chart-2)",
  },
}

hex, hsl or oklch

You can also define your colors directly in the chart config. Use the color format you prefer.

components/ExampleChart.res
let chartConfig = dict{
  "desktop": {
    Chart.label: "Desktop",
    color: "#2563eb",
  },
  "mobile": {
    label: "Mobile",
    color: "hsl(220, 98%, 61%)",
  },
  "tablet": {
    label: "Tablet",
    color: "oklch(0.5 0.2 240)",
  },
  "laptop": {
    label: "Laptop",
    color: "var(--chart-2)",
  },
}

Using Colors

To use the theme colors in your chart, reference the colors using the format var(--color-KEY).

Components

<Chart.Recharts.Bar dataKey="desktop" fill="var(--color-desktop)" />

Chart Data

components/ExampleChart.res
let chartData = [
  { Data.browser: "chrome", visitors: 275, fill: "var(--color-chrome)" },
  { browser: "safari", visitors: 200, fill: "var(--color-safari)" },
]

Tailwind

components/ExampleChart.res
<LabelList className="fill-[--color-desktop]" />

Tooltip

A chart tooltip contains a label, name, indicator and value. You can use a combination of these to customize your tooltip.

You can turn on/off any of these using the hideLabel, hideIndicator props and customize the indicator style using the indicator prop.

Use labelKey and nameKey to use a custom key for the tooltip label and name.

Chart comes with the <Chart.Tooltip> and <Chart.TooltipContent> components. You can use these two components to add custom tooltips to your chart.

components/ExampleChart.res
<Chart.Tooltip content={<Chart.TooltipContent />} />

Props

Use the following props to customize the tooltip.

PropTypeDescription
labelKeystringThe config or data key to use for the label.
nameKeystringThe config or data key to use for the name.
indicatorDot Line or DashedThe indicator style for the tooltip.
hideLabelboolWhether to hide the label.
hideIndicatorboolWhether to hide the indicator.

Colors

Colors are automatically referenced from the chart config.

Custom

To use a custom key for tooltip label and names, use the labelKey and nameKey props.

const chartData = [
  { Data.browser: "chrome", visitors: 187, fill: "var(--color-chrome)" },
  { browser: "safari", visitors: 200, fill: "var(--color-safari)" },
]
 
let chartConfig = dict{
  "visitors": {
    Chart.label: "Total Visitors",
  },
  "chrome": {
    label: "Chrome",
    color: "hsl(var(--chart-1))",
  },
  "safari": {
    label: "Safari",
    color: "hsl(var(--chart-2))",
  },
}
components/ExampleChart.res
<Chart.Tooltip
  content={<Chart.TooltipContent labelKey="visitors" nameKey="browser" />}
/>

This will use Total Visitors for label and Chrome and Safari for the tooltip names.

Legend

You can use the custom <Chart.Legend> and <Chart.LegendContent> components to add a legend to your chart.

components/ExampleChart.res
<Char.tLegend content={<Chart.LegendContent />} />

Colors

Colors are automatically referenced from the chart config.

Custom

To use a custom key for legend names, use the nameKey prop.

let chartData = [
  { Data.browser: "chrome", visitors: 187, fill: "var(--color-chrome)" },
  { browser: "safari", visitors: 200, fill: "var(--color-safari)" },
]
 
let chartConfig = dict{
  "chrome": {
    Chart.label: "Chrome",
    color: "hsl(var(--chart-1))",
  },
  safari: {
    label: "Safari",
    color: "hsl(var(--chart-2))",
  },
}
components/ExampleChart.res
<Chart.Legend content={<Chart.LegendContent nameKey="browser" />} />

This will use Chrome and Safari for the legend names.

Accessibility

You can turn on the accessibilityLayer prop to add an accessible layer to your chart.

This prop adds keyboard access and screen reader support to your charts.

components/ExampleChart.res
<LineChart accessibilityLayer=true />
