Overview

react-spectrum-charts is a declarative charting library for composing charts in React. It empowers you to effortlessly create visually stunning charts following Adobe's design system (Spectrum) with minimal code. Understanding of the grammar of graphics or lower-level libraries like D3 or Vega is not needed.

Key Features:

• Intuitive: Developer experience comes first in the API design. The declarative API removes the need to understand advanced data visualization concepts. The code reads just like you would explain the chart to someone else.

• Configurable: The component-based building blocks enable you to build the chart that solves your use case. The modular design makes it easy to compose complex visualizations with simple, easy to understand code.

• Proven: By leveraging Spectrum (Adobe's Spectrum design system) you get beautiful charts backed by research, user testing, and industry best practices.

• International: Support for 30+ date/number locales so that your users can view their data in the format that they would expect.

Installation

npm

npm install @adobe/react-spectrum-charts @adobe/react-spectrum vega vega-lite

yarn

yarn add @adobe/react-spectrum-charts @adobe/react-spectrum vega vega-lite

Usage

react-spectrum-charts is designed in a way that makes composing charts similar to composing any other app content in JSX.

Each chart is wrapped in the <Chart/> component. The child components and their props control the contents of the chart.

Example

import React from 'react';
import {Axis, Bar, Legend, Chart} from '@adobe/react-spectrum-charts';

const MyChart: FC<MyChartProps> = (props) => {
    ...

    return (
        <Chart data={myChartData}>
            <Axis position="bottom" />
            <Axis position="left" />
            <Bar type="stacked" color="series" />
            <Legend />
        </Chart>
    )
}

Spectrum (Adobe Design System) Integration

Adobe's design system has detailed guidelines for charting fundamentals, color selection for charts as well as design guidelines for the primary chart components.

react-spectrum-charts is the react implementation of these guidelines.

• Fundamentals
• Color
• Components
  • Area
  • Bar
  • Line

API

API Documentation

Storybook

This library has an extensive Storybook with stories for every component and most props. You can use the controls tab in storybook to alter component props and see how that alters the chart in real time.

It is also possible to view the source code for any story by selecting the "Docs" tab, scrolling to the desired story and then selecting "Show code". This is helpful for seeing the full API for any story in storybook.

The Storybook may contain components or props that are not released yet since it gets rebuilt with every push to main, not just with npm releases.
