React Charts Library

You're building a dashboard. You need bar charts for revenue, line charts for growth trends, pie charts for market share. With raw Recharts, you're configuring CartesianGrid, XAxis, YAxis, Tooltip, Legend—the same boilerplate for every chart. Then styling each one to match your design system.

These charts skip that entirely. 53 pre-built chart components styled with shadcn/ui. Copy a bar chart, paste it in, swap the data. Done. Your analytics dashboard ships in hours, not days.

The Problem with Building Charts from Scratch

Recharts is powerful. But when you need a "bar chart with interactive legend, gradient fills, and matching your design system"—you're configuring from zero.

Boilerplate overhead — Every chart needs the same setup: ChartContainer, CartesianGrid, axes, tooltips. You've written this configuration dozens of times.

Design consistency — Your bar chart uses one color scheme, your line chart uses another. Now you're auditing every chart for visual consistency with your app's theme.

Interactive patterns — Hover states that highlight data. Legends that toggle series. Tooltips that format values. Each one requires custom implementation.

Responsive behavior — Charts that look good on desktop but break on mobile. Axis labels that overlap. Legends that don't fit.

These charts solve this. Each one is a complete, styled, responsive visualization. The configuration is done. The interactions work. Just plug in your data.

Why shadcn/ui Charts?

You own the code — Every chart copies into your project as a React component. Change colors, modify tooltips, add annotations. No library constraints.

Consistent theming — All 53 charts use CSS variables that adapt to light and dark mode automatically. They match your shadcn/ui components out of the box.

Production patterns — These aren't demo visualizations. They're patterns extracted from real dashboards. Responsive layouts. Accessible markup. Proper data formatting.

TypeScript + Tailwind — Same stack you're already using. Type-safe chart configs. Tailwind classes for any custom styling.

npx shadcn@latest add https://shadcn.io/r/bar-interactive.json

The chart appears in your project at components/charts/bar-interactive.tsx. Open it, update the data array, adjust the config. It's your component now.

import BarInteractive from "@/components/charts/bar-interactive";

export default function Dashboard() {
  return (
    <div className="grid gap-4 md:grid-cols-2">
      <BarInteractive />
      {/* Add more charts */}
    </div>
  );
}
