Area Chart with Axes

Stacked areas with a value axis on the side and months along the bottom, so readers get numbers without hovering. Two series in Svelte.

About

Use it when people read numbers off the chart: a report, a shared screen, a printout where nothing can be hovered. The other area charts drop the value axis to keep the card quiet; this one shows three labeled values. If people need every exact number, add a table under it.

Mobile and desktop stack as smooth curves at 40% fill. On the left, the value axis prints 0, 300 and 600 with no line or tick marks, and the months run along the bottom, cut to three letters.

Usage

<script lang="ts">
import ChartAreaAxes from "@/components/charts/chart-area-axes.svelte";
</script>
<ChartAreaAxes />

Customize

  • The y scale draws its axis with axis: { line: false, ticks: { size: 0, values: [0, 300, 600] } }: labels, no line, no stubs.
  • chartLinearScale rounds the stacked peak up to 600, Recharts' domain, so the top label lands on the top grid line.
  • The month axis' tick format cuts each month to three letters; give the y axis' ticks a format to shape the values the same way.
  • The margin's left: 40 makes room for the labels. Leave margin out and TanStack measures them and sizes the plot around them.

FAQ

How do I change how many values the axis shows?

List them in the y axis's ticks.values, as [0, 300, 600] does here, or give ticks.count a number and let the scale pick round values near it.

How do I format the values as currency or thousands?

Give the y axis's ticks a format function. It receives each value and returns the label, for example through Intl.NumberFormat with notation: "compact" for 1.2K.

Why does the axis stop at 600?

The kit's chartLinearScale sets it the way Recharts does: zero in, and the stacked peak (505) rounded up to a nice tick, 600. For a fixed range, pass a scale with its own domain, such as scaleLinear().domain([0, 1000]) from @tanstack/charts/scales/linear.

Can the axis go on the right?

Set side: "right" on the y scale and move the margin's 40 from left to right, or leave margin out and the chart measures the labels and makes room on that side.

How do I bring back the axis line and tick marks?

Remove line: false and size: 0 from the y axis and the baseline and tick stubs come back. The month axis has the same two settings.

Why are the value labels cut off?

The margin's left: 40 fits labels of three digits. Longer ones need more: widen it, or leave margin out and the chart measures the labels and makes room.

API Reference

ChartContainer

<div> data-slot="chart"

PropType
configChartConfig

ariaDescription?string

The chart's accessible description.

class?string

The container's size: aspect-auto h-[250px] w-full, mx-auto aspect-square max-h-[250px]. It's aspect-video by default.

children?Snippet

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

tooltip?(ChartTooltipContentOptions & { class?: string }) | false

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

Type
(ChartTooltipContentOptions & { class?: string }) | false
renderTooltip?Snippet<[ChartTooltipBodySnippetContext]>

A whole tooltip body of your own, in place of ChartTooltipContent: it gets the focused points (each with its datum, group and color). A snippet.

Type
Snippet<[ChartTooltipBodySnippetContext]>
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.

Type
"dot" | "line" | "dashed"
Default
"dot"
hideLabel?boolean

Hides the label above the rows (the focused category).

Default
false
hideIndicator?boolean

Hides each row's color indicator.

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.

Type
(label: string, points: readonly ChartPoint[]) => string
formatter?Snippet<[{ index, item, name, value }]>

A row's content in place of its indicator, name and value, as shadcn's formatter: a unit, a currency, a total row. A snippet.

Type
Snippet<[{ index, item, name, value }]>
class?string

Classes for the tooltip's card.

ChartLegend

<div>

PropType
config?ChartConfig

The series to list: the container's config by default.

keys?readonly string[]

Default
false
verticalAlign?"top" | "bottom"

Above the chart or under it.

Type
"top" | "bottom"
Default
"bottom"
class?string

Classes for the legend's row.

ChartConfig

KeyType
label?string

The series' name in the tooltip and the legend.

icon?Component

An icon beside its name in the legend and the tooltip (a lucide-svelte icon).

theme?{ light: string; dark: string }

A color for each theme, in place of color.

Helpers

ExportType
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

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 }.
