# apexcharter > Htmlwidget for [apexcharts.js](https://github.com/apexcharts/apexcharts.js) : A modern JavaScript charting library to build interactive charts and visualizations with simple API. See the [online demo](https://dreamrs.github.io/apexcharter/) for examples. [![version](http://www.r-pkg.org/badges/version/apexcharter)](https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=apexcharter) [![cran checks](https://cranchecks.info/badges/worst/apexcharter)](https://cranchecks.info/pkgs/apexcharter) [![Lifecycle: maturing](https://img.shields.io/badge/lifecycle-maturing-blue.svg)](https://www.tidyverse.org/lifecycle/#maturing) [![R build status](https://github.com/dreamRs/apexcharter/workflows/R-CMD-check/badge.svg)](https://github.com/dreamRs/apexcharter/actions) [![Codecov test coverage](https://codecov.io/gh/dreamRs/apexcharter/branch/master/graph/badge.svg)](https://codecov.io/gh/dreamRs/apexcharter?branch=master) :warning: Use RStudio >= 1.2 to properly display charts ## Installation Install from CRAN with: ```r install.packages("apexcharter") ``` Or install the development version from [GitHub](https://github.com/) with: ``` r # install.packages("devtools") devtools::install_github("dreamRs/apexcharter") ``` ## Quick Charts Use `apex` function to quickly create visualizations : ```r library(apexcharter) data("mpg", package = "ggplot2") n_manufac <- dplyr::count(mpg, manufacturer) apex(data = n_manufac, type = "bar", mapping = aes(x = manufacturer, y = n)) ``` ![](man/figures/apex-bar.png) With datetime: ```r data("economics", package = "ggplot2") apex(data = economics, type = "line", mapping = aes(x = date, y = uempmed)) %>% ax_stroke(width = 1) ``` ![](man/figures/apex-line.png) ## Full API All methods from ApexCharts are available with function like `ax_*` compatible with pipe from `magrittr` : ```r library(apexcharter) data(mpg, package = "ggplot2") n_manufac <- dplyr::count(mpg, manufacturer) apexchart() %>% ax_chart(type = "bar") %>% ax_plotOptions(bar = bar_opts( horizontal = FALSE, endingShape = "flat", columnWidth = "70%", dataLabels = list( position = "top" )) ) %>% ax_grid( show = TRUE, position = "front", borderColor = "#FFF" ) %>% ax_series(list( name = "Count", data = n_manufac$n )) %>% ax_colors("#112446") %>% ax_xaxis(categories = n_manufac$manufacturer) %>% ax_title(text = "Number of models") %>% ax_subtitle(text = "Data from ggplot2") ``` ![](man/figures/apexcharter-full-bar.png) ## Raw API Pass a list of parameters to the function: ```r apexchart(ax_opts = list( chart = list( type = "line" ), stroke = list( curve = "smooth" ), grid = list( borderColor = "#e7e7e7", row = list( colors = c("#f3f3f3", "transparent"), opacity = 0.5 ) ), dataLabels = list( enabled = TRUE ), markers = list(style = "inverted", size = 6), series = list( list( name = "High", data = c(28, 29, 33, 36, 32, 32, 33) ), list( name = "Low", data = c(12, 11, 14, 18, 17, 13, 13) ) ), title = list( text = "Average High & Low Temperature", align = "left" ), xaxis = list( categories = month.abb[1:7] ), yaxis = list( title = list(text = "Temperature"), labels = list( formatter = htmlwidgets::JS("function(value) {return value + '\u00b0C';}") ) ) )) ``` ![](man/figures/raw-api.png)
