To create pie charts in a React application, you can use the react-highcharts library, which provides a React wrapper for the Highcharts library. Pie charts are a common way to present a brief composition summary or comparison. They continue to be a popular option for tiny datasets, even though they can be more challenging to read than column charts. 


Highcharts is a popular library for creating interactive charts and graphs on the web. To create pie charts in a React application, you can use the react-highcharts library, which provides a React wrapper for the Highcharts library. There are several different charts available on Highcharts. Examples include bar charts, pie charts, line charts, spline charts, area charts, and so forth. Pies in highcharts can also be hollow, known as a donut chart. Additionally, this pie features an inside chart, creating a hierarchical picture. Pie chart with clickable individual slices that display more specific information. 


Here is an example of how you can include a pie chart with ReactJS in your application:

render(<App />, document.getElementById("root"));

Instructions

Follow the steps carefully to get the output easily.

  1. Install the Node.js and React on your IDE(preferable Visual Studio Code).
  2. Create React Application using npx create-react-app foldername.
  3. cd foldername.
  4. Install npm install --save highcharts
  5. Open the folder in IDE.
  6. Copy the code using "copy" button above and paste it in index.js file(remove the earlier code from index.js).
  7. Open the terminal from IDE.
  8. npm start to run the file.


Also you can refer this url 'DEMO' for getting the above output.

I hope you found this useful. I have added the link to dependent libraries, version information in the following sections.


I found this code snippet by searching for "Pie Charts in Reactjs" in kandi. You can try any such use case!

Environment Tested

I tested this solution in the following versions. Be mindful of changes when working with other versions.

  1. The solution is created in Visual Studio Code 1.73.1.
  2. The solution is tested on node v18.12.1 and npm v8.19.2.
  3. React version-18.2.0.
  4. Highcharts version-16.0.2.


Using this solution, we are able to view pie charts in Reactjs with simple steps. This process also facilities an easy way to use, hassle-free method to create a hands-on working version of code which would help us to view pie charts in Reactjs.
