About

This is the dashboard chart: a long daily series where the reader picks the window. Use it when one view has to serve both the quarter and the last week. For two series people compare one at a time, the Interactive Bar Chart switches between them instead.

Desktop and mobile stack as smooth curves with gradient fills, under date labels spaced so they don't collide. A select in the header filters to the last 90, 30 or 7 days, the tooltip shows the date, and a legend sits under the plot.

Customize

  • The range lives in state (React useState, a Vue ref, Svelte $state or a Solid signal), and the rows are filtered by it before they reach the marks.
  • The definition is derived from the range (useMemo, computed, $derived or createMemo), so it's rebuilt only when the select changes.
  • ChartTooltipContent gets a labelFormatter that prints the hovered date as Apr 10, and the dot indicator.
  • The gradients are the Gradient Area Chart's: one per series in the definition's gradients, used as url(#<id>) fills.
  • ChartContainer has aspect-auto h-[250px] w-full in its class: a fixed height at the card's full width.

FAQ

How does the range filter work?

The rows run from April 1 to June 30, 2024. The select's value (90d, 30d or 7d) sets how many days to count back from June 30, and only the rows from that date on reach the chart. With live data, count back from today or ask your API for the range.

Does it animate when the range changes?

The definition is rebuilt from the selected range (useMemo, computed, $derived or createMemo), and TanStack tweens the areas to their new shape over 400ms. Under reduced motion they snap into place.

Why does the select disappear on phones?

Its trigger has hidden sm:flex, as in shadcn/ui's original, so below the sm breakpoint the chart shows the full 90 days. Remove hidden to keep the select on small screens.

How do I plot my own dates?

Give each row an ISO date (2024-04-01) and the two values. The label formatters parse it with new Date(), which reads a day-only date as midnight UTC: format with timeZone: "UTC" or readers west of UTC see the day before.

How do the date labels avoid overlapping?

TanStack thins colliding tick labels by default, so only some of the 90 dates get one; tickLabels: { thin: { minGap: 32 } } on the x axis widens the gap, like Recharts' minTickGap. A tick format prints each as Apr 10.

Can I use it without a mouse?

Yes. The select is a regular form control, reached with Tab before the chart. In the chart, the arrow keys step one day at a time and Home and End jump to the first and last day of the range.

#default?slot

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
#tooltip?slot (ChartTooltipBodySlotContext)

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

Type
slot (ChartTooltipBodySlotContext)
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.

EventType
@focus-change?(point: ChartPoint | null) => void

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

Type
(point: ChartPoint | null) => void
@focus-group-change?(points: readonly ChartPoint[]) => void

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

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

Called when a point is clicked or picked with Enter.

Type
(point: ChartPoint | null) => void
CSS variableType

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[]

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

false

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.

color?string

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

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

Helpers

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