Recharts.js is a redefined chart library built with React and D3. It helps in creating interactive line graphs, bar graphs, pie graphs, etc. One of the main principles of it is that all its components are independent, lightweight, and can be deployed easily.
Prerequisites:
Steps to Create React Application and Installing Recharts Module
Step 1: Create a React application using the following command:
npx create-react-app foldernameStep 2: After creating your project folder i.e. folder name, move to it using the following command:
cd foldernameStep 3: Now move to the command line and install the rechart.js library
npm i rechartsProject Structure:
The updated dependencies in package.json file will look like
"dependencies": {
"@testing-library/jest-dom": "^5.17.0",
"@testing-library/react": "^13.4.0",
"@testing-library/user-event": "^13.5.0",
"react": "^18.2.0",
"react-dom": "^18.2.0",
"react-scripts": "5.0.1",
"recharts": "^2.9.0",

}
Example: This example shows the basic implementation of Recharts.js libary by creating a simple graph from the Line and LineChart component.
// Filename - App.js
import React from "react";
import {
LineChart,
Line,
XAxis,
YAxis,
CartesianGrid,
Tooltip,
Legend,
ResponsiveContainer,
} from "recharts";
const data = [
{
name: "Block A",
l1: 4000,
l2: 2400,
amt: 2400,
},
{
name: "Block B",
l1: 3000,
l2: 1398,
amt: 2210,
},
{
name: "Block C",
l1: 2000,
l2: 9800,
amt: 2290,
},
{
name: "Block D",
l1: 2780,
l2: 3908,
amt: 2000,
},
];
export default function App() {
return (
<div
style={{
width: "1100px",
height: "600px",
backgroundColor: "black",
}}
>
<ResponsiveContainer width="100%" height="100%">
<LineChart
width={500}
height={300}
data={data}
margin={{
top: 5,
right: 30,
left: 20,
bottom: 5,
}}
>
<CartesianGrid strokeDasharray="3 3" />
<XAxis dataKey="name" />
<YAxis />
<Tooltip />
<Legend />
<Line
type="monotone"
dataKey="l2"
stroke="#8884d8"
activeDot={{ r: 8 }}
/>
<Line
type="monotone"
dataKey="l1"
stroke="#82ca9d"
/>
</LineChart>
</ResponsiveContainer>
</div>
);
}
Step to Run Application: Run the application using the following command from the root directory of the project:
npm startOutput: Now open your browser and go to http://localhost:3000/, you will see the following output.
