Props

Props of the native component are also available.

Name	Type	Default	Description
series*	Array<object>	-	The series to display in the bar chart. An array of BarSeriesType objects.
axisHighlight	{ x?: 'band' \| 'line' \| 'none', y?: 'band' \| 'line' \| 'none' }	-	The configuration of axes highlight. Default is set to 'band' in the bar direction. Depends on `layout` prop. See highlighting docs for more details.
barLabel	'value' \| func	-	If provided, the function will be used to format the label of the bar. It can be set to 'value' to display the current value.
borderRadius	number	-	Defines the border radius of the bar element.
colors	Array<string> \| func	rainbowSurgePalette	Color palette used to colorize multiple series.
dataset	Array<object>	-	An array of objects that can be used to populate series and axes data using their `dataKey` property.
disableAxisListener	bool	false	If `true`, the charts will not listen to the mouse move event. It might break interactive features, but will improve performance.
grid	{ horizontal?: bool, vertical?: bool }	-	Option to display a cartesian grid in the background.
height	number	-	The height of the chart in px. If not defined, it takes the height of the parent element.
hideLegend	bool	-	If `true`, the legend is not rendered.
highlightedAxis	Array<{ axisId: number \| string, dataIndex: number }>	-	The controlled axis highlight. Identified by the axis id, and data index.
highlightedItem	{ dataIndex?: number, seriesId: number \| string }	-	The highlighted item. Used when the highlight is controlled.
id	string	-	This prop is used to help implement the accessibility logic. If you don't provide this prop. It falls back to a randomly generated id.
layout	'horizontal' \| 'vertical'	'vertical'	The direction of the bar elements.
loading	bool	false	If `true`, a loading overlay is displayed.
localeText	object	-	Localized text for chart components.
margin	number \| { bottom?: number, left?: number, right?: number, top?: number }	-	The margin between the SVG and the drawing area. It's used for leaving some space for extra information such as the x- and y-axis or legend. Accepts a `number` to be used on all sides or an object with the optional properties: `top`, `bottom`, `left`, and `right`.
onAxisClick	func	-	The function called for onClick events. The second argument contains information about all line/bar elements at the current mouse position. Signature:`function(event: MouseEvent, data: null \| ChartsAxisData) => void` `event` The mouse event recorded on the `<svg/>` element. `data` The data about the clicked axis and items associated with it.
onHighlightChange	func	-	The callback fired when the highlighted item changes. Signature:`function(highlightedItem: HighlightItemData \| null) => void` `highlightedItem` The newly highlighted item.
onHighlightedAxisChange	func	-	The function called when the pointer position corresponds to a new axis data item. This update can either be caused by a pointer movement, or an axis update. In case of multiple axes, the function is called if at least one axis is updated. The argument contains the identifier for all axes with a `data` property. Signature:`function(axisItems: Array) => void` `axisItems` The array of axes item identifiers.
onItemClick	func	-	Callback fired when a bar item is clicked. Signature:`function(event: React.MouseEvent, barItemIdentifier: BarItemIdentifier) => void` `event` The event source of the callback. `barItemIdentifier` The bar item identifier.
showToolbar	bool	false	If true, shows the default chart toolbar.
skipAnimation	bool	-	If `true`, animations are skipped. If unset or `false`, the animations respects the user's `prefers-reduced-motion` setting.
slotProps	object	{}	The props used for each component slot.
slots	object	{}	Overridable component slots. See Slots API below for more details.
width	number	-	The width of the chart in px. If not defined, it takes the width of the parent element.
xAxis	Array<{ axis?: 'x', barGapRatio?: number, categoryGapRatio?: number, classes?: object, colorMap?: { colors: Array<string>, type: 'ordinal', unknownColor?: string, values?: Array<Date \| number
