Why choose Froala Charts over other Charting APIs on JavaScript?

What are some common charts to incorporate into your dashboard? 

• Column Chart: This chart separates columns plotted on a bar graph to compare data side by side. Each vertical bar represents a category with both axes drawn to scale. For a proper demo, go browse the App Publishing Trends from 2012 to 2016 with the iOS, Google Play, and Amazon App Store. 
• Bar Chart: This horizontal chart has rows of bars separated by category. Notice how the data values are color-coded to make them easier to read across each variable type. Click on the keys to hide bars for that particular group. As a preview, the Split of Visitors by Channels displays the annual revenue of various marketing campaigns. 
• Doughnut Chart: This chart resembles a pie chart except the center is hollowed out to show the exact number allocated to each slice. The pie pieces can be dragged and rotated to reposition the labels. Users are able to determine the relative percentages as seen in Android distribution platforms example.
• Heat Map Chart: The heat map assigns several blocks to items labeled on the vertical axis. It is used to assess user activities and behaviors on a spectrum of colors which rates the measured frequency on a number line. For instance, the colors might indicate the amount of social media usage and how that affects anxiety or sleep.  
• Line Chart: A linear chart that plots a series of data points connected by straight lines. In the sample, you will see two lines representing the number of tickets received as opposed to resolved over the course of a month. Hover over the markers to get their exact values. 

What kind of front-end environment do you need to integrate these charts? 

Before you hit the “Download” button, there are a few things you should know. Each framework has its own requirements, and as such, you must follow the setup guide in order to render your chart component in JavaScript while importing all the necessary dependencies. 

Froala Charts supports the following JavaScript frameworks:

• React
• Angular
• Vue
• Svelte
• Ember

For Angular and Svelte, you must have Node.js installed to prepare for opening a chart in the terminal. But if you’re exporting a chart to react, then you have to run create-react-app. Once you’ve moved past the prerequisites, it’s time to run the Froala Charts library. Be sure to copy and paste the import code between the <script> tags to get started. 

As for preparing the data, build a column chart by referring to this tutorial on how to plot the quarterly revenue in a JSON format. It will walk you through loading a set of data onto your web application. This information is stored into a list object so it stays organized as you configure the chart by editing the attributes including the type, dimensions, dataSource, and categories.
