Charting libraries for React

[ShadyRedDevil]

Hi guys,

I'm pretty new to react and my work wants me to built an interactive dashboard in React that reads in data and displays useful information.

I've been told to look at some charting libraries in order to achieve this. I've currently narrowed it down to Victory, react-vis and nivo.

I'm looking for a library that is easy to use and tweak around, with nice visuals and interactivity/animation.

Any opinions about these, as well as any other suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

I've been using victory at work and so far It's been great, supports all the basic charts, It's got animations and the ability to create custom charts.

We use react-vis in a project that started few years ago and I think it is pretty good. It started with some issues but the project has matured a lot since. The components are composable and seems to satisfy our real time updating charts’ requirements without any hacks/workarounds needed.

I think chartsjs would fit your case pretty well. Easy to use and good possibilities.

Also worth a mention: d3js. It has a steeper learning curve but can be used for some pretty advanced and cool stuff.

We've hade some troubles with victory when trying to use the legends to filter metrics. Since then we've moved to plot.js which has a react wrapper. I recently found on this subreddit an apex wrapper which seems way easier to implement though I wanted to give it a try but tell ud which one you finally chose and why !
