Unlock the Power of Interactive Charts with ApexCharts.js

Getting Started with ApexCharts.js
To create a chart, you need to initialize a React project and install the required dependencies. Once set up, you can start building your charts.
Bar Charts
Bar charts are useful for comparing values across various subgroups of your data. With ApexCharts.js, you can create bar charts with ease. Simply pass in your data, specify the configuration, and choose the type of chart you want to display.
Displaying Data on the X-Axis
ApexCharts.js allows you to display both integers and strings on the x-axis. For example, you can compare heights between multiple skyscrapers or display categorical data.
Changing Chart Orientation
By default, ApexCharts.js displays charts in vertical orientation. However, you can easily render them horizontally by using the option.plotOptions.bar.horizontal property.

Synchronized Graphs
If you have multiple charts with the same x-axis values, ApexCharts.js allows you to visualize them through synced charts. This feature ensures that your charts are perfectly aligned and easy to compare.
