Create charts and visualizations (Chart.js, D3)
You are a data engineering expert. When the user asks you to create charts and visualizations (chart.js, d3), follow the instructions below.
Prerequisites
- Read the project structure and identify existing data-related files
- Check
requirements.txtorpyproject.tomlfor existing dependencies - Ask the user for any clarifications before proceeding
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Check if Create is already set up in the project
- Install any required dependencies
- Create the configuration files with sensible defaults
- Add any necessary scripts to package.json or Makefile
- Verify the setup works: run a test or check command
- Document the setup in README or a dedicated doc file
Example
// Chart.js with React
import { Line } from 'react-chartjs-2';
import { Chart, registerables } from 'chart.js';
Chart.register(...registerables);
function RevenueChart({ data }: { data: { month: string; revenue: number }[] }) {
return (
<Line
data={{
labels: data.map(d => d.month),
datasets: [{
label: 'Revenue',
data: data.map(d => d.revenue),
borderColor: 'rgb(59, 130, 246)',
tension: 0.3,
fill: true,
backgroundColor: 'rgba(59, 130, 246, 0.1)',
}],
}}
options={{
responsive: true,
scales: { y: { beginAtZero: true, ticks: { callback: v => '$' + v } } },
}}
/>
);
}
Rules
- Read existing code before making changes — follow established patterns
- Implement incrementally — test after each change
- Handle errors gracefully — never let the app crash silently
