About
Pick it when people compare separate periods or categories and the heights matter: one month's sales against the next. For the shape of a trend, an area or line chart says more. For two series, the multiple or stacked versions keep them together.
Each month is one bar with 8px rounded corners, over horizontal grid lines. The month labels sit under the bars, cut to three letters, with no axis line and no value axis. The tooltip shows the value without the month.

- The data is one row per month,
{ month, desktop }.barYreadsx: "month"for the band andy: "desktop"for the height. fillisvar(--color-desktop), fromchartConfig.desktopand itsvar(--chart-1).radius: 8rounds every corner.- The x scale is a band scale with
paddingInner(0.2)andpaddingOuter(0.1). Raise the inner padding for thinner bars, or cap them with the mark'smaxThickness. - The y scale draws

FAQ
How do I change the bar corners?
Set radius on barY: one number rounds every corner, a tuple [topLeft, topRight, bottomRight, bottomLeft] rounds them one by one, and { end: 8 } rounds only the end the value points to. 0 gives square bars.
How do I make the bars thinner or wider?
Bars fill the band the x scale gives each month, minus its padding. Raise the band scale's paddingInner for more space between them, or set maxThickness on barY to cap their width in pixels as the chart grows.
How do I show the values on the side?
The y scale sets axis: false. Replace it with axis: { line: false, ticks: { size: 0 } } to print the values without tick stubs, and widen the definition's left margin so they fit.
How do I plot my own categories?
Replace chartData with your rows and point x and y at your fields. The band scale keeps the order of the rows, so sort them first if order matters, and rename the desktop entry in chartConfig to your value's key.

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

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.

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>
pointsreadonly ChartPoint[]

Classes for the tooltip's card.
ChartLegend
<div>

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

A color for each theme, in place of color.
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

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
