My charts repository contains a small dashboard-style chart showcase built with React, TypeScript, Vite, and Recharts. The README is still the standard React and Vite template, so it does not explain the actual application. The implementation in src/App.tsx is much more useful: it contains six chart examples, typed mock datasets, reusable presentation components, and a dashboard shell.
One wrapper, several visualizations
ChartCard is the central layout abstraction. It accepts a title and children, then places the supplied chart inside a Recharts ResponsiveContainer with full width and a height of 300 pixels. That gives each visualization a consistent frame without repeating sizing and heading markup.
StatsCard handles the summary tiles with a title, value, change string, and icon. The component props are typed, and the dataset interfaces describe the fields each chart consumes. The displayed visitor and conversion figures are literal mock values in the source, not measurements from an analytics service.
The six chart cards demonstrate different data shapes. A bar chart shows monthly revenue, and an area chart shows weekly signups. A pie chart divides traffic sources and formats labels as percentages. A line chart presents a mock stock-price trend with a dollar-formatted tooltip. A radar chart compares two user groups across feature-satisfaction categories, and a scatter chart plots advertising spend against revenue.
Tooltips are included throughout, with legends where configured. The line chart adds a highlighted active dot and a custom tooltip appearance. The radar chart uses two translucent series, while the scatter chart gives both numeric axes dollar units. These are implemented examples of Recharts composition, rather than a general-purpose chart builder.
Application structure and styling
The entry point mounts App through createRoot inside React StrictMode and imports index.css. App.tsx defines Sidebar and Header alongside the chart and statistics components. The header includes a search field, notification button, and a demo user identity.
Most dashboard styling is embedded in a style element in App.tsx. The App.css import is commented out. Media queries expand the statistics grid at 640 and 768 pixels and the chart grid at 768 and 1024 pixels. The sidebar stays fixed at 256 pixels, with an equal left margin on the main content wrapper. I would not call that a fully solved mobile navigation layout.
Getting started without overstating the README
There is no project-specific quickstart in the README. It documents the Vite template and suggests stronger ESLint configurations. Based on the actual package scripts, this is a reasonable local workflow, not a quoted README recipe:
npm install
npm run dev
npm run build
npm run preview
The build script runs tsc -b && vite build; lint runs eslint .. Package dependencies include React 19, Recharts 3, and Lucide React, with Vite 7 and TypeScript 5.8 tooling. This walkthrough is based on source inspection rather than a fresh build run.
What remains a demo
All data is local and static. Sidebar links use placeholder anchors, and the search field and notification button have no application behavior wired up in App.tsx. There is no implemented data-fetching layer or routing in this component.
For me, the useful next step would be separating datasets and chart components, replacing the placeholder controls with real behavior, and revisiting the fixed sidebar on small screens. Those are improvement ideas, not an existing roadmap or completed features. The current repository is a concrete visualization showcase, not a live analytics product.
