Quickly create a variety of data visualizations in React using D3.
react-fast-charts utilizes the power of D3 to quickly create powerful, customizable charts in React. It is an opinionated library that was built for the Harvard Growth Lab Digital Hub in order to build reusable data visualizations across a broad spectrum of use cases.
This package is part of Harvard Growth Lab’s portfolio of software packages, digital products and interactive data visualizations. To browse our entire portfolio, please visit The Viz Hub at growthlab.app. To learn more about our research, please visit Harvard Growth Lab’s home page.
npm install --save react-fast-charts
The primary component exported is the DataViz component. It is a single component that takes a number of configurable props to create any of the visualizations supported in this library. All DataViz components takes in a 2 required props and a handful of optional props. Additionally, depending on the vizType specified, a number of other optional and required props will be taken.
import DataViz, {VizType} from 'react-fast-charts';
...
const App = () => {
return (
<DataViz
id={'example-data-viz'}
vizType={VizType.LineChart}
data={data}
/>
);
};
string A unique id for the visualization.VizType | string The string name for the type of visualization being rendered. Can also export the VizType enum from the module from proper type restrictions of available visualization typesenum VizType {
ScatterPlot = 'ScatterPlot',

ClusterBarChart = 'ClusterBarChart',
RadarChart = 'RadarChart',
GeoMap = 'GeoMap',
LineChart = 'LineChart',

StackChart = 'StackChart',
ClusterChart = 'ClusterChart',
BoxAndWhiskersChart = 'BoxAndWhiskersChart',
Error = 'Error',

stringreact-fast-charts also exports a number of lightweight legend and scale components to quickly add context to a chart.
import {Legend} from 'react-fast-charts';
...
const App = () => {
return (
<Legend
legendList={[
{label: 'Imports', fill: 'red', stroke: undefined},
{label: 'Exports', fill: 'blue', stroke: undefined},
]}
/>
);
};
The ColorScaleLegend will render a gradient legend. It must receive either a maxColor and minColor or a gradientString.
