Chart

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 ChartTootlip, when and where you need it.

import { Bar, BarChart } from "recharts"
 
import { ChartContainer, ChartTooltipContent } from "~/components/ui/charts"
 
export function MyChart() {
  return (
    <ChartContainer>
      <BarChart data={data}>
        <Bar dataKey="value" />
        <ChartTooltip content={<ChartTooltipContent />} />
      </BarChart>
    </ChartContainer>
  )
}

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.

Your First Chart

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

const chartData = [
  { 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 },
]

import { type ChartConfig } from "~/components/ui/chart"
 
const chartConfig = {
  desktop: {
    label: "Desktop",
    color: "#2563eb",
  },
  mobile: {
    label: "Mobile",
    color: "#60a5fa",
  },
} satisfies ChartConfig

'use client'
 
import { Bar, BarChart } from 'recharts'
 
import type { ChartConfig } from '~/components/ui/chart'
import { ChartContainer } from '~/components/ui/chart'
 
const chartData = [
   { 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 },
]
 
const chartConfig = {
   desktop: {
      label: 'Desktop',
      color: '#2563eb',
   },
   mobile: {
      label: 'Mobile',
      color: '#60a5fa',
   },
} satisfies ChartConfig
 
export function Component() {
   return (
      <ChartContainer config={chartConfig} className="min-h-[200px] w-full">
         <BarChart accessibilityLayer data={chartData}>
            <Bar dataKey="desktop" fill="var(--color-desktop)" radius={4} />
            <Bar dataKey="mobile" fill="var(--color-mobile)" radius={4} />
         </BarChart>
      </ChartContainer>
   )
}

'use client'
 
import { Bar, BarChart } from 'recharts'
 
import type { ChartConfig } from '~/components/ui/chart'
import { ChartContainer } from '~/components/ui/chart'
 
const chartData = [
   { 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 },
]
 
const chartConfig = {
   desktop: {
      label: 'Desktop',
      color: '#2563eb',
   },
   mobile: {
      label: 'Mobile',
      color: '#60a5fa',
   },
} satisfies ChartConfig
 
export function Component() {
   return (
      <ChartContainer config={chartConfig} className="min-h-[200px] w-full">
         <BarChart accessibilityLayer data={chartData}>
            <Bar dataKey="desktop" fill="var(--color-desktop)" radius={4} />
            <Bar dataKey="mobile" fill="var(--color-mobile)" radius={4} />
         </BarChart>
      </ChartContainer>
   )
}

Add a Grid

Let's add a grid to the chart.

import { Bar, BarChart, CartesianGrid } from "recharts"

<ChartContainer config={chartConfig} className="min-h-[200px] w-full">
  <BarChart accessibilityLayer data={chartData}>
    <CartesianGrid vertical={false} />
    <Bar dataKey="desktop" fill="var(--color-desktop)" radius={4} />
    <Bar dataKey="mobile" fill="var(--color-mobile)" radius={4} />
  </BarChart>
</ChartContainer>

Add an Axis

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

import { Bar, BarChart, CartesianGrid, XAxis } from "recharts"

<ChartContainer config={chartConfig} className="h-[200px] w-full">
  <BarChart accessibilityLayer data={chartData}>
    <CartesianGrid vertical={false} />
    <XAxis
      dataKey="month"
      tickLine={false}
      tickMargin={10}
      axisLine={false}
      tickFormatter={(value) => value.slice(0, 3)}
    />
    <Bar dataKey="desktop" fill="var(--color-desktop)" radius={4} />
    <Bar dataKey="mobile" fill="var(--color-mobile)" radius={4} />
  </BarChart>
</ChartContainer>

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 ChartTooltip and ChartTooltipContent components from chart.

import { ChartTooltip, ChartTooltipContent } from "~/components/ui/chart"

<ChartContainer config={chartConfig} className="h-[200px] w-full">
  <BarChart accessibilityLayer data={chartData}>
    <CartesianGrid vertical={false} />
    <XAxis
      dataKey="month"
      tickLine={false}
      tickMargin={10}
      axisLine={false}
      tickFormatter={(value) => value.slice(0, 3)}
    />
    <ChartTooltip content={<ChartTooltipContent />} />
    <Bar dataKey="desktop" fill="var(--color-desktop)" radius={4} />
    <Bar dataKey="mobile" fill="var(--color-mobile)" radius={4} />
  </BarChart>
</ChartContainer>

Add Legend

We'll do the same for the legend. We'll use the ChartLegend and ChartLegendContent components from chart.

import { ChartLegend, ChartLegendContent } from "~/components/ui/chart"

<ChartContainer config={chartConfig} className="h-[200px] w-full">
  <BarChart accessibilityLayer data={chartData}>
    <CartesianGrid vertical={false} />
    <XAxis
      dataKey="month"
      tickLine={false}
      tickMargin={10}
      axisLine={false}
      tickFormatter={(value) => value.slice(0, 3)}
    />
    <ChartTooltip content={<ChartTooltipContent />} />
    <ChartLegend content={<ChartLegendContent />} />
    <Bar dataKey="desktop" fill="var(--color-desktop)" radius={4} />
    <Bar dataKey="mobile" fill="var(--color-mobile)" radius={4} />
  </BarChart>
</ChartContainer>

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

• Themes and Colors
• Tooltip
• Legend

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 works independently for cases where your data or color tokens live remotely or in a different format.

import { Monitor } from "lucide-react"
 
import { type ChartConfig } from "~/components/ui/chart"
 
const chartConfig = {
  desktop: {
    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",
    },
  },
} satisfies ChartConfig

Theming

Charts has 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

@layer base {
  :root {
    --background: 0 0% 100%;
    --foreground: 240 10% 3.9%;
    // ...
    --chart-1: 12 76% 61%;
    --chart-2: 173 58% 39%;
  }
 
  .dark: {
    --background: 240 10% 3.9%;
    --foreground: 0 0% 100%;
    // ...
    --chart-1: 220 70% 50%;
    --chart-2: 160 60% 45%;
  }
}

const chartConfig = {
  desktop: {
    label: "Desktop",
    color: "hsl(var(--chart-1))",
  },
  mobile: {
    label: "Mobile",
    color: "hsl(var(--chart-2))",
  },
} satisfies ChartConfig

--chart-1: oklch(70% 0.227 154.59);

color: "var(--chart-1)",

hex, hsl or oklch

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

const chartConfig = {
  desktop: {
    label: "Desktop",
    color: "#2563eb",
  },
} satisfies ChartConfig

Using Colors

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

Components

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

Chart Data

const chartData = [
  { browser: "chrome", visitors: 275, fill: "var(--color-chrome)" },
  { browser: "safari", visitors: 200, fill: "var(--color-safari)" },
]

Tailwind

<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 <ChartTooltip> and <ChartTooltipContent> components. You can use these two components to add custom tooltips to your chart.

import { ChartTooltip, ChartTooltipContent } from "~/components/ui/chart"

<ChartTooltip content={<ChartTooltipContent />} />

Props

Use the following props to customize the tooltip.

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 = [
  { browser: "chrome", visitors: 187, fill: "var(--color-chrome)" },
  { browser: "safari", visitors: 200, fill: "var(--color-safari)" },
]
 
const chartConfig = {
  visitors: {
    label: "Total Visitors",
  },
  chrome: {
    label: "Chrome",
    color: "hsl(var(--chart-1))",
  },
  safari: {
    label: "Safari",
    color: "hsl(var(--chart-2))",
  },
} satisfies ChartConfig

<ChartTooltip
  content={<ChartTooltipContent 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 <ChartLegend> and <ChartLegendContent> components to add a legend to your chart.

import { ChartLegend, ChartLegendContent } from "~/components/ui/chart"

<ChartLegend content={<ChartLegendContent />} />

Colors

Colors are automatically referenced from the chart config.

Custom

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

const chartData = [
  { browser: "chrome", visitors: 187, fill: "var(--color-chrome)" },
  { browser: "safari", visitors: 200, fill: "var(--color-safari)" },
]
 
const chartConfig = {
  chrome: {
    label: "Chrome",
    color: "hsl(var(--chart-1))",
  },
  safari: {
    label: "Safari",
    color: "hsl(var(--chart-2))",
  },
} satisfies ChartConfig

<ChartLegend content={<ChartLegendContent 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.
