🚀 Installation & Registration

dotnet add package eQuantic.UI.Charts.ChartJs
dotnet add package eQuantic.UI.Charts.ApexCharts

In your Program.cs:

builder.Services.AddUI(options =>
{
    options.UseChartJs()
           .UseApexCharts()
           .ScanAssembly(typeof(Program).Assembly);

// ...

// Note: MapUI() automatically handles the necessary endpoint registrations.
app.MapUI();

📈 Usage Example

ApexCharts

new ApexChart<MyData>
{
    Options = new ApexOptions
    {
        Chart = new ChartConfig { Type = "bar" }
    },
    Series = new List<ApexSeries<MyData>>
    {
        new ApexSeries<MyData> { Name = "Sales", Data = dataList }
    }
}

Chart.js

new ChartJs<MyData>
{
    Type = "bar",
    Data = new ChartData<MyData> { ... },
    Options = new ChartJsOptions { ... }
}

🏗️ Architecture

The chart system is designed for Reactive C# updates:

• Strongly Typed: Configuration and data use C# classes that mirror the JS API.
• Asset Management: Chart libraries declare their CDN dependencies via the Asset System.
• Zero Configuration: Components automatically inject required scripts/styles — no manual <script> tags needed.
• Middleware Pattern: UseChartJs() / UseApexCharts() serve initialization scripts and CDN endpoints.

🎨 Customization

All chart components accept extra classes via ClassName and live in responsive containers.
