How to create charts using NodeJS?

Question

Is it possible to create charts, e.g. bars and pies with custom icons using NodeJS?

Answer 1

d3 is probably your best bet. It can generate nearly any type of chart imaginable.

You can generate the charts directly in the browser, or if you really need an image file, you can use the module in node and convert the output to an image.

Answer 2

using highcharts

you have to install

npm install -g node-highcharts

Answer 3

You can use any charts library, basically. For example:

• Google Chart API
• Chartjs
• Chartist

On your server template code, you might want to output the data using server variable. Example below using swig template engine, ExpressJS and Chartist library

<div class="ct-chart ct-perfect-fourth"></div>
<script>
    new Chartist.Line('.ct-chart', {
        labels: {{ chartLabel | raw }}, 
        series : [{{ charts | raw}}]
    }, {
        axisY: {
            onlyInteger: true
        }
    });
</script>
