Bar chart using react-charts in ReactJs

by Abdul Rawoof A R Updated: Jan 24, 2023

In this kit, we are going to see how to create bar charts using react charts in reactjs with simple steps. Rechart JS is a library that is used for creating charts for React JS. This library is used for building Line charts, Bar charts, Pie charts, etc, with the help of React and D3 (Data-Driven Documents). To create Bar Chart using React charts, we create a dataset with x and y coordinate details. Then we define the bars using bar element with dataKey property which will have the data of the dataset created and then we create a cartesian grid and both axes using data coordinates. A bar chart provides a way of showing data values represented as vertical bars. It is sometimes used to show trend data, and the comparison of multiple data sets side by side. . So that we are providing an ready-made code snippet to create bar charts using react chart in reactjs easily with simple steps. Just click the copy button and paste it in your IDE with added required libraries.

Fig : Preview of the output that you will get on running this code from your IDE.

Code

In this solution we are using React, moment and React charts libraries.

import moment from "moment";
import React from "react";
import { Chart } from "react-charts";

import "./styles.css";

export default function App() {
  const dataone = React.useMemo(
    () => [
      {
        label: "Event",
        data: [
          [moment(2010, "YYYY"), null],
          [moment(2011, "YYYY"), 3],
          [moment(2012, "YYYY"), 2],
          [moment(2013, "YYYY"), 1],
          [moment(2015, "YYYY"), 3],
          [moment(2016, "YYYY"), null]
        ]
      }
    ],
    []
  );
  const options = {
    scales: {
      xAxes: [
        {
          barPercentage: 0.4
        }
      ]
    }
  };
  const series = { type: "bar" };
  const axes = React.useMemo(
    () => [
      { primary: true, type: "time", position: "bottom" },
      { type: "linear", position: "left" }
    ],
    []
  );

  return (
    <>
      <div
        style={{
          width: "600px",
          height: "300px"
        }}
      >
        <Chart
          data={dataone}
          options={options}
          axes={axes}
          series={series}
          tooltip
        />
      </div>
    </>
  );
}

Instructions

Follow the steps carefully to get the output easily.

Install the Node.js and React on your IDE(preferable Visual Studio Code).
Create React Application using npx create-react-app foldername.
cd foldername.
Install npm i moment and npm i react-chartjs.
Open the folder in IDE.
Copy the code using "copy" button above and paste it in app.js file(refer demo for additional file).
Open the terminal from IDE.
npm start to run the file.

You can also 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 'Bar chart using react-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.

The solution is created in Visual Studio Code 1.73.1.
The solution is tested on node v18.12.1 and npm v8.19.2.
React version-18.2.0.
Moment version-current.
