Chart Tooltip with Icons

A tooltip that marks each series with its icon, footprints for running and waves for swimming, set once in the chart's config, in Solid.

About

Use it when each series is a kind of thing with an obvious symbol: an activity, a device, a channel. The icon sits where the dot would, next to the series name and its value, and the date heading is hidden to keep the tooltip short.

The icons live in chartConfig, not in the tooltip, so a legend on the same chart picks them up too.

Usage

import { ChartTooltipIcons } from "@/components/charts/chart-tooltip-icons";
<ChartTooltipIcons />

Customize

  • chartConfig.running.icon and chartConfig.swimming.icon hold the icon components; with hideLabel, they're the only change from the default.
  • ChartTooltipContent draws a config icon in place of the indicator, sized size-2.5 in text-muted-foreground.
  • hideLabel in ChartContainer's tooltip options drops the date heading.
  • Import the icons from your framework's Lucide package: lucide-react, lucide-vue-next, lucide-svelte or lucide-solid.

FAQ

Where do the icons come from?

From chartConfig: each entry takes an icon, here Footprints and Waves from Lucide. When an entry has one, ChartTooltipContent draws it in place of the color dot.

Can I use other icons?

Any icon component of your framework: lucide-react, lucide-vue-next, lucide-svelte or lucide-solid, or your own. The tooltip sizes it to size-2.5 and colors it text-muted-foreground.

Do the icons show in a legend too?

Yes. ChartLegend reads the same chartConfig, so it shows each icon in place of the swatch. Pass hideIcon to it to keep the swatches there.

Why aren't the icons in the series' colors?

The icon replaces the series' color mark, and it draws in the muted text color, not the series color. That's why the name sits beside it: the icon helps recognition, the name is the label.

Are the icons read by a screen reader?

They're decorative: the series name is text in the same row, so a screen reader reads Running and its value. Don't let an icon replace the name.

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

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

ChartTooltipContent

<div>
