Why Another Charting Library?
When building modern web applications, displaying data visualizations is often a core requirement. While there are plenty of charting libraries out there, most come with significant overhead, complex APIs, or lack the flexibility needed for small, elegant charts. This is where Chart-Ease shines.
Chart-Ease is a lightweight web component designed specifically for creating beautiful, small charts with minimal code. Built on SVG technology, it offers optimal performance and infinite scalability without sacrificing quality.
Key Features That Stand Out
🎯 SVG-Based Rendering
Chart-Ease leverages Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) for rendering, making it perfect for creating charts that scale beautifully across all screen sizes and resolutions. SVG is particularly well-suited for rendering charts with a small number of objects, which aligns perfectly with Chart-Ease's goal of drawing small charts quickly.
🎨 Unmatched Customization
Unlike many charting libraries that lock you into predefined styles, Chart-Ease gives you full control:
- Custom edges: Craft custom path elements to connect data points, enabling unique and visually striking charts
- Custom markers: Easily add markers like circles, ellipses, and rectangles to your data points with full customization
- Flexible axes: Define your own axes for precise chart layout and appearance control
📊 Multiset Charts
Visualize multiple datasets in a single component. Each dataset can be tailored to meet specific requirements, making it easy to compare different data series side by side.
⚡ Event-Driven Architecture
Utilize events like ondraw to access and customize individual data points, enabling you to create complex and interactive charts with ease.
Getting Started is Simple
Installing Chart-Ease takes just seconds:
Using npm:
npm install chart-ease
