ApexCharts React Tutorial

ApexCharts React Code Example

Below is a straightforward guide to implementing a basic line chart using ApexCharts within a React application. ApexCharts is a modern charting library that helps developers to create beautiful and interactive charts with ease. React, on the other hand, is a popular JavaScript framework for building user interfaces.

First, ensure you have React and ApexCharts set up in your project. If not, you can install them using npm as shown below:


npm install react apexcharts react-apexcharts --save


Once the installation is complete, you can proceed to create a line chart. Here's how:

Step 1: Import the Required Modules

Open your React component, and import React, Chart from ApexCharts, and the necessary ApexCharts React component as follows:


import React, { Component } from 'react';
import Chart from 'react-apexcharts';


Step 2: Setup the Chart Options and Series

In your component's constructor or state (if using functional components with hooks), define the chart's options and the series. Here is an example:


class LineChart extends Component {
 constructor(props) {
   super(props);

   this.state = {
     options: {
       chart: {
         type: 'line'
       },
       xaxis: {
         categories: ['Jan', 'Feb', 'Mar', 'Apr', 'May', 'Jun', 'Jul', 'Aug', 'Sep']
       }
     },
     series: [{
       name: 'Sample Data',
       data: [30, 40, 45, 50, 49, 60, 70, 91, 125]
     }]
   }
 }

 render() {
   return (
     
       
     
   );
 }
}

export default LineChart;


Step 3: Rendering the Chart Component

Finally, incorporate the LineChart component into your app. For instance, if you wish to render it within the App.js file of a React application, the process should look something like this:


import React from 'react';
import LineChart from './LineChart'; // Adjust the import path based on your project structure

function App() {
 return (
   
     My First ApexCharts Line Chart in React
     
   
 );
}

export default App;


With this setup, you should now be able to run your React application and see a beautiful line chart powered by ApexCharts. The chart's appearance and data can be easily customized by adjusting the options and series in the state.
