Interactive Bar Chart

Three months of daily bars with a header that switches between desktop and mobile and shows each total. An interactive bar chart for Solid.

About

Use it when one chart should cover more than one metric and the reader picks: page views by device, sales by region. Each header button shows its series' total, so the number reads before the bars. To compare the series at once, use grouped bars or two lines.

Ninety-one daily bars fill the card's width, with a few dates along the bottom. Pressing Desktop or Mobile swaps the series and its color, and the tooltip names the full date.

Usage

import { ChartBarInteractive } from "@/components/charts/chart-bar-interactive";
<ChartBarInteractive />

Customize

  • The rows are daily, { date, desktop, mobile }. The active key lives in component state (React useState, a Vue ref, Svelte $state or a Solid signal) and the definition is rebuilt from it.
  • barY reads x: "date" and the active key for its height, and its fill switches between var(--color-desktop) and var(--color-mobile).
  • The header's totals are summed once from chartData, not read from the chart.
  • tickLabels: { thin: { minGap: 32 } } keeps the x axis to a few dates, not 91, formatted as Apr 1. A crosshair with x: { band: true } shades the hovered day.
  • ChartContainer trades the video aspect for aspect-auto h-[250px] w-full, and its tooltip prop sets nameKey: "views" and a labelFormatter for the full date.

FAQ

How does the header switch the series?

Each button sets the active key in state, and the definition is derived from it, so the bars, their color and the tooltip change together. The buttons are real buttons with aria-pressed, so Tab and Enter work on them and a screen reader hears which one is on.

How do I add a third metric?

Add the field to every row, an entry to chartConfig with a label and a color, a sum to total, and the key to the ["desktop", "mobile"] list the header buttons map over. The bar color follows the key.

How do I show a shorter period?

Filter chartData before the chart reads it, as the Interactive Area Chart does with its 90, 30 and 7 day select. Fewer days give wider bars.

How are the dates formatted?

The rows keep ISO dates like 2024-04-01. The x axis tick format prints them as Apr 1 with toLocaleDateString, and the tooltip's labelFormatter as Apr 1, 2024. Change the locale or options in both.

Why does the tooltip say Page Views?

The tooltip's nameKey is views, an entry in chartConfig with a label and no color, so every row reads Page Views. Remove nameKey to show Desktop or Mobile instead.

How do I keep the chosen series after a reload?

Keep the active key in the URL's search params or in localStorage, and read it when the component starts. The chart only needs that one key.

API Reference

ChartContainer

<div> data-slot="chart"

PropType
configChartConfig

Each series' label, icon and color, read by the tooltip and the legend.

definitionChartDefinition

The chart: defineChart(spec, chartTooltip()), its data, marks, scales and axes, and the tooltip's focus.

ariaLabelstring

ariaDescription?string

The chart's accessible description.

children?JSX.Element

What sits under the chart inside the container: a ChartLegend.

tooltip?ChartTooltipContentProps | false

ChartTooltipContent's props (indicator, hideLabel, formatter…) for the default body, or false for TanStack's own tooltip body.

Type
ChartTooltipContentProps | false
renderTooltip?(context: ChartTooltipBodyRenderContext) => JSX.Element

A whole tooltip body of your own, in place of ChartTooltipContent: it gets the focused points (each with its datum, group and color). Read the context's fields in JSX (context.points), so Solid tracks them.

Type
(context: ChartTooltipBodyRenderContext) => JSX.Element
defaultIndex?number

The category whose tooltip shows before any pointer, as Recharts' defaultIndex.

height?number

A fixed height in pixels for the chart, in place of the container's.

aspectRatio?number

A width-to-height ratio for the chart, in place of the container's height.

initialWidth?number

The width the chart renders at before it's measured.

onFocusChange?(point: ChartPoint | null) => void

Called as the focused point changes: a pointer, a key or a tap.

Type
(point: ChartPoint | null) => void
onFocusGroupChange?(points: readonly ChartPoint[]) => void

Called with every point at the focused category (a stacked or grouped chart's).

Type
(points: readonly ChartPoint[]) => void
onSelect?(point: ChartPoint | null) => void

Called when a point is clicked or picked with Enter.

Type
(point: ChartPoint | null) => void
CSS variableType
--color-<key>?color

Each config key's color (its theme color in light and dark), set on the container: the marks paint with var(--color-<key>).

ChartTooltipContent

<div>

PropType
pointsreadonly ChartPoint[]

The focused points, from the tooltip's context. ChartContainer passes them to its default body; a body of your own passes its context's.

indicator?"dot" | "line" | "dashed"

The indicator's shape beside each row.

Default
false
label?string

The label's text in place of the focused category, looked up in config.

labelKey?string

The datum field (or config key) the label is read from, looked up in config.

nameKey?string

The datum field (or config key) each row's series is read from: a pie's browser.

valueKey?string

The datum field each row's value is read from, for points that carry geometry rather than values (a pie's, from pie()).

color?string

One indicator color for every row, in place of each series' own.

labelFormatter?(label: string, points: readonly ChartPoint[]) => string

Formats the label (the config's label or the category), with the rows' points: a date written out, a unit.

(label: string, points: readonly ChartPoint[]) => string
formatter?(value: number | string, name: string, item: ChartTooltipItem, index: number) => JSX.Element

class?string

Classes for the tooltip's card.

ChartLegend

<div>

PropType

hideIcon?boolean

Hides each series' icon (from config), leaving its color swatch.

Default
false
verticalAlign?"top" | "bottom"

Above the chart or under it.

Type
"top" | "bottom"

ChartConfig

KeyType
label?string

A color for each theme, in place of color.

Helpers

ExportType
chartTooltip?(settings?: ChartTooltipSettings) => ChartDefinitionOptions
