About
Turn bars sideways when the category names are long, when there are many of them, or when the list reads as a ranking. Names stay on one line and the longest bar stands out. For a time series, the vertical version reads more naturally.
Six bars with 5px corners extend from the left edge, one per month, with the month's name beside each. There's no value axis and no grid: the lengths and the tooltip carry the values.
Installation
Usage
import { ChartBarHorizontal } from "@/components/charts/chart-bar-horizontal";<ChartBarHorizontal />Customize
barXis the horizontal bar:x: "desktop"is the length andy: "month"the band.- The y scale is a band scale with
paddingInner(0.2)andpaddingOuter(0.1). Its axis keeps the labels and drops the line and the tick stubs. - The x scale is linear with
axis: false, so the lengths have no labels and no grid behind them. fillisvar(--color-desktop)fromchartConfig, andradius: 5rounds each bar.- The bars follow the order of
chartData. Sort the rows by value to turn the chart into a ranking.
FAQ
How are the bars turned sideways?
With barX in place of barY: the value goes on x and the category on y, and the band scale moves to the y axis. chartTooltip({ focus: "group-y" }) then focuses by row instead of by column.
How do I fit longer category names?
The y axis tick format cuts each month to three letters: drop the slice for full names. The definition fixes margin.left at 40, so widen it until they fit, or remove margin and the chart measures the labels for you.
How do I sort the bars by value?
Sort chartData before the chart reads it, for example [...chartData].sort((a, b) => b.desktop - a.desktop). The bars follow the order of the rows.
How do I print each value at the end of its bar?
Add a text mark over the same rows with x: "desktop", y: "month", anchor: "start" and a small dx, in a decorative() layer, as the Bar Chart with Custom Labels does, and leave room on the right.

Helpers
chartTooltip?(settings?: ChartTooltipSettings) => ChartDefinitionOptions
defineChart's second argument for a chart with a tooltip: what a pointer or a key focuses (group-x, each category's series, by default), the focus ring, and the host ChartContainer draws its body in.
- Type
(settings?: ChartTooltipSettings) => ChartDefinitionOptions
chartTheme?ChartTheme

chartColors?(config: ChartConfig, keys?: readonly string[]) => { domain: string[]; range: string[] }
defineChart's color: each series key (in config order, or keys') painted var(--color-<key>), for marks with a color channel.
- Type
(config: ChartConfig, keys?: readonly string[]) => { domain: string[]; range: string[] }
chartLinearScale?() => LinearScale
A value axis drawn as Recharts draws its default one: zero in the domain, five nice ticks. Pass it as a factory: y: { scale: chartLinearScale }.
- Type
() => LinearScale
curveNatural?CurveFactory
D3's natural curve, for a smooth line or area: curve: d3Curve(curveNatural).
curveStep?CurveFactory
D3's step curve, for a line or area that holds each value: curve: d3Curve(curveStep).
