How to Create Bar Chart in HTML using JavaScript
1. To create bar charts, we need to getting started with bar-chart.js and with its dependencies. So, load Modernizr JS,jQuery and Normalize CSS by adding the following CDN links into your HTML page.
<!-- Modernizer JS --> <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/modernizr/2.8.3/modernizr.js"></script> <!-- jQuery --> <script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.4.1.min.js"></script> <!-- Normalize CSS --> <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/normalize/8.0.1/normalize.css" />
2. Now, also include the Bar Chart plugin’s JavaScript and CSS file (from downloaded project directory).
<!-- Bar Chart CSS --> <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/bar-chart.css"> <!-- Bar Chart JS --> <script src="js/plugins.js"></script> <script src="js/bar-chart.js"></script>
3. After loading all assets, now its time to draw your bar chart. But before this, define a place (a div element) in which your chart will be created dynamically.
<div class="example">
<p class="description">
A standard bar chart with no options passed in. As basic as they get!
</p>
<div id="basic"></div>
</div>
3. Define all necessary options as follow to draw your bar chart and initialize the plugin.
drawBarChart([ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 ], {
title: "Dunder Mifflin—Quabity Assuance Over Time",
height: "500px",
width: "800px",
barSpacing: "5%",
barColor: "#ace",
showTicks: true,
yAxisName: "Blunders (per month)"
}, $("#basic"));
