Charts with swift

Question

I'm new in iOS development and want to create an app with some charts. I decided to start development with swift because it seemed to be more easy to learn for me as Java developer. But meanwhile I think using objective-c would have been the better choice because AFAIK there is no chart library available that match my criteria:

• usable with swift
• has line and bar charts
• ability to draw charts with date and time axis
• free to use or low price < 100 USD

Common chart libraries like JBChartView, Core-Plot and iOSPlot do not fulfill my criteria so I'm thinking about either to use a JavaScript chart library in a WebView or switching completely to objective-c

Is it good practice to use a JavaScript chart API in a WebView? If so, may this make problems on different devices with different screen sizes and orientations? What are common pitfalls with this approach?

Edit: Core-Plot release-2.0 works well with Swift

Answer 1

You could use iOS-Charts

This is a great chart library written in swift and is on github:

There are some great tutorials going through the basics here.

iOS-Charts seems to fit your criteria

• It is completely free
• It is written specifically for Swift
• It has 8 different graph types
