Britecharts is a client-side reusable Charting Library based on D3.js v5 that provides easy composition of charts and components to create amazing data visualizations.
- 🛠 Reusable - Configure your charts to create different looks and behaviors.
- 🏗 Composable - Mix and match components to create insightful experiences.
- 🌈 Great design - Clean and vivid looks to amaze your users.
- ⚙️ Simple - The codebase is a regular D3.js code you can fork and modify.
Britecharts components have been written in ES2016 with a Test Driven methodology, so they are fully tested, and we are committed to keeping them that way.
The typical use of Britecharts involves creating a chart using its simple API, then rendering it on a container that has previously had data applied to it. The code will look like this:
import { select } from 'd3-selection';
import { bar } from 'britecharts';
const barChart = bar();
const barContainer = select('.bar-chart-container');
const dataset = [...];
barChart
.width(500)
.height(300);
barContainer.datum(dataset).call(barChart);All the components expose common API methods like width, height, and margin. Additionally, each component exposes specific methods you can find in the documentation:
- API, Demo Line Chart
- API, Demo Bar Chart
- API, Demo Donut Chart
- API, Demo Stacked Bar Chart
- API, Demo Grouped Bar Chart
- API, Demo Bullet Chart
- API, Demo Brush Chart
- API, Demo Scatter Plot
- API, Demo Sparkline Chart
- API, Demo Stacked Area Chart
- API, Demo Step Chart
- API, Demo Mini Tooltip
- API, Demo Tooltip
- API, Demo Legend
Britecharts components are distributed in UMD modules, each one exposing a D3.js component written with the Reusable API pattern. To use any of the Britecharts modules, you will need to require the chart in your JS file using CommonJS modules, ES modules, or adding a script tag with the src pointing to the file. You would also need to load the d3-selection submodule to select the chart container.
npm install --save britecharts d3-selection
# or
yarn add britecharts d3-selectionThen, in your JavaScript module file you can now import and use charts:
import { bar } from 'britecharts';
import { select } from 'd3-selection';
const barChart = bar();
const container = select('#container');
const barData = [
{ name: 'Luminous', value: 2 },
{ name: 'Glittering', value: 5 },
{ name: 'Intense', value: 4 },
{ name: 'Radiant', value: 3 }
];
barChart
.margin({ left: 100 })
.isHorizontal(true)
.height(400)
.width(600);
container.datum(barData).call(barChart);Britecharts comes with custom CSS - to load CSS in your HTML file you may include it in the <head> tag
<link
rel="stylesheet"
href="./node_modules/britecharts/dist/css/britecharts.css"
/>Alternatively, you can load Britecharts from our CDN as we do in this demo page or play around in our JSBin and CodePen demo projects. In addition, you have an option to customize CSS using new styles. Check our Styling Britecharts tutorial to see more options.

Sun Dai designs Britecharts, and two books inspired the code, Developing a D3.js Edge and Mastering D3.js. It also leveraged a significant number of examples and articles from the D3.js community overall.
