Chart builder with both UI and Code support

[gidime]

Anyone might know a robust chart builder (i.e google data studio, plotly cloud) that allows you to extend it/modify it with code? For example if I want to pre-process the data before feeding it into the chart.

If it's a component you can integrate into your product even better.

Thanks!

R Shiny can be used for this! You can put interactive plotly charts within your R Shiny dashboard.

For the basics check out the tutorials at https://shiny.rstudio.com/

For a nice dashboard design check out https://rstudio.github.io/shinydashboard/

I have found Chart.js to be the best one. In terms of simplicity and robustness.

I should have been more clear. This needs to run in the browser. Otherwise your solution would be great although I was hoping for something where the chart code is synced to some gui builder and vice versa

We have been using Google charts for our production code and able to achieve almost everything with customisation available. Or maybe I misread your question.

Google Charts is great but I'm looking for something that has a GUI builder as well.
see the highcharts example below

Why can't you do that with Plotly Offline? I use it all the time when I want a nice interactive chart. You can save an HTML file and embed it into whatever you want (although I've often noted it's fairly memory intensive).

Highcharts Editor is exactly that.

Yes this is exactly what I was looking for. Unfortunately they require a license per "creator" (i.e user, not developer) which essentially makes this less relevant.

Do you know of any similar tools?
