TrendChart Elements

Web components to generate simple, light and responsive charts representing trends.

It is often useful to display some simple charts to represent a data visualization trend without the need of a big chart library, TrendChart Elements is made for that. The aim was to be as plug-and-play as possible, like native HTML tags, so all the configuration is made with CSS variables and HTML attributes. It's fully responsive with built-in basic tooltip.

Tested on modern browsers : Chrome >= 73, Firefox >= 63, Edge >= 79, Safari >= 12

Check out the demo page for various charts, stylings and use cases.

<tc-line values="[12,10,12,11,7,6,8,10,12]"></tc-line>
<tc-column values="[11,7,6,8,10,12,8,10,12]"></tc-column>
<tc-bar values="[11,7,6,8,10,12,8,10,12]"></tc-bar>
<tc-pie values="[35,68,22,16]"></tc-pie>

Charts configuration is made with CSS variables and HTML attributes.

Use CSS to change the width and height of the chart, because they are responsive you can use percentages. In some cases you'll need to have a radius around the chart if its container has one, for that just add a border-radius CSS rule to the chart.
