Britecharts React

Britecharts-react is a React wrapper for the Britecharts charting library.

Usage

Import components from Britecharts-React:

//ES6 import syntax
import { StackedArea } from 'britecharts-react';

//CommonJS require syntax
const { StackedArea } = require('britecharts-react');

Britecharts-React components are used just like any other stateless React component. You will pass in some props, and it would render a chart:

<StackedArea
    data={stackedAreaData.with2Sources()}
    width={600}
    height={400}
/>

API

Each component's API will be a reflection of Britecharts charts and their APIs. That way, if we need to render a bar chart, we will first check the bar chart's API in the main project API reference page. You can read more about the approach here

From there, we will proceed to pass each of the configurations through the usual props as we do in React projects:

<Bar
    data={barData.with2Entries()}
    width={400}
    isHorizontal={true}
    margin={marginObject}
>

The complete set of components is in progress; the following components are currently implemented and available for use:

• Bar charts (API)
• Bullet charts (API)
• Grouped Bar charts (API)
• Donut charts (API)
• Line charts (API)
• Sparkline charts (API)
• Stacked Area charts (API)
• Stacked Bar charts (API)
• Tooltips (API)
• Step charts (API)
• Legends (API)

The following components haven't been migrated yet from Britecharts:

• Brush charts
• Heatmaps
• Mini Tooltips
• Scatter Plots

If you need to use one of the missing charts, check out our how-to guide for creating new charts.

Installation

Britecharts-React is available as an NPM module or through CDN links (in different formats or a bundle).

You can also use individual bundles in UMD format (dist/umd/), CommonJS format (lib/cjs), and tree-shaking-enabling ES2015 modules (lib/esm) to add to your bundle. You can see more on our test project.

Developers also need to load the stylesheets located in dist/britecharts-react.min.css to style the charts correctly.

Next steps

We are accepting PRs for creating wrappers for Britecharts components. Check our contributing guide, drop by the #britecharts channel in the d3 slack, or create an issue if you want to know more.
