README
React.js wrapper for ApexCharts to build interactive visualizations in react.
Download and Installation
Installing via npm
npm install react-apexcharts apexcharts
Usage
import Chart from 'react-apexcharts'
To create a basic bar chart with minimal configuration, write as follows:
class App extends Component {
constructor(props) {
super(props);
this.state = {
options: {
chart: {
id: 'apexchart-example'
},
xaxis: {
categories: [1991, 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999]
}
},
series: [{
name: 'series-1',
data: [30, 40, 35, 50, 49, 60, 70, 91, 125]
}]
}
}
render() {
return (
<Chart options={this.state.options} series={this.state.series} type="bar" width={500} height={320} />
)
}
}
This will render the following chart
How do I update the chart?
Simple! Just change the series
or any option
and it will automatically re-render the chart.

Important: While updating the options, make sure to update the outermost property even when you need to update the nested property.
✅ Do this
this.setState({
options: {
...this.state.options,
xaxis: {
...this.state.options.xaxis,
categories: ['X1', 'X2', 'X3']
}
}
})
❌ Not this
this.setState({
options.xaxis.categories: ['X1', 'X2', 'X3']
})

How to call methods of ApexCharts programatically?
Sometimes, you may want to call other methods of the core ApexCharts library, and you can do so on ApexCharts
global variable directly
Example
ApexCharts.exec('reactchart-example', 'updateSeries', [{
data: [40, 55, 65, 11, 23, 44, 54, 33]
}])
More info on the .exec()
method can be found here
All other methods of ApexCharts can be called this way
