Alternatives

Chart frameworks are a dime a dozen nowadays. Not many of them existed a few years ago when we started this project internally and many of them still don't really work well with Angular. Here's a recent list we compiled during our effort to open-source this:

• ng2-nvd3 - Open-source wrapper for nvd3 using Angular2 Components
• ng2-charts - Open-source Angular2 wrapper directives for Chart.js
• angular2-highcharts - Open-source Angular2 wrapper for HighCharts
• recharts - Open-source composable charting library built on React components
• Vega - Open-source Canvas/SVG viz framework
• C3 - Open-source D3-based reusable chart library
• Plotly - Commercial business intelligence and data science.
• Highcharts - Commercial chart framework
• eCharts - Open-source JavaScript chart framework
• dc.js - Open-source JavaScript charting library
