BarChart

Bars that compare values across categories, side by side or stacked. Use it to compare totals of different groups.

Charts need Recharts. Install it once with yarn add recharts, then import from @bolio-ui/core/charts. The package stays out of your bundle until you use a chart.

General

One bar per row of data for each series.

Many series

Several series sit side by side. Add withLegend to name them.

Stacked

With stacked, the series pile up in one bar.

  label?: string // shown in the legend and the tooltip, `name` when missing
  color?: string // any CSS color, a theme color when missing
}

Ref

The ref points at the root div.

Accessibility

Name the chart with aria-label, or with aria-labelledby pointing at a heading. A named chart becomes a group. The chart can be focused. Arrow Left and Right then move through the points and show their values in the tooltip.

A chart is hard to read for screen reader users, so repeat the key numbers in text next to it, or offer the same data in a Table.
