Chart.js equivalent for React Native [closed]

Question

I want to get interactive charts to work in my React Native app. I know there's probably not a React Native specific library made yet, but what Objective-C/Swift/Javascript library should I be looking into that would allow me to make charts/graphs that look like the ones Chart.js generate?

Answer 1

I would go for ART library of the react-native project.

Here is a chart example for ReactJS that you could adapt for react-native, by looking at these React-native Art examples.

Also, there is probably something to investigate with Chartist library which use SVG to draw charts, and that has a reactjs component.

EDIT: As of version 0.18rc, React-Native also support ART library for Android.

Answer 2

You'll be wanting to look at Obj-C and Swift, not JavaScript I think. Existing JS libraries will be drawing to the DOM, Canvas or some other browser target that won't be available in React Native. That should narrow the field a bit. Then to use it direct from RN you need to create a Native Module between JS and Obj-C.

So at that point it boils down to: "what's a good iOS charting library" and fortunately someone's already done the hard work on that one over on this answer. Core Plot looks pretty comprehensive.
