Data visualization can help users see patterns in an often overwhelming amount of data. One key technique for visualizing data is to display that data in a set of charts.

Because charting is a common requirement, there are JavaScript libraries available for building charts. D3.js is one such library. D3.js is a JavaScript library for manipulating documents based on data. It provides powerful data visualization components. With all of its power and flexibility comes a steep learning curve.

Luckily, you won’t have to learn d3 to build charts with Angular. Angular-charts is a wrapper around basic d3 features for use in Angular. You can use Angular-charts to build pie, bar, line, point, and area charts.

If you want to create charts in your Angular application, try out the charting example on the Angular-charts page.

Or check out the “Visualizing Data with Charts” module in my “AngularJS Line of Business Applications” course.

Enjoy!
