## Usage

```tsx
import { BarList, Chart, useChart } from "@chakra-ui/charts"
```

```tsx
<BarList.Root>
  <BarList.Content>
    <BarList.Bar />
    <BarList.Value />
  </BarList.Content>
</BarList.Root>
```

## Examples

### Sort Order

Set the `sort` key to `{ by: "value", direction: "asc" }` to sort the bars in
ascending order.

```ts
const chart = useChart<BarListData>({
  sort: { by: "value", direction: "asc" },
  // ...
})
```

<ExampleTabs name="charts/bar-list-ascending" />

### Format Value

Pass the `valueFormatter` prop to the `BarList.Value` component to format the
value of the bars.

```tsx /valueFormatter={(value) => value.toLocaleString()}/
<BarList.Value valueFormatter={(value) => value.toLocaleString()} />
```

<ExampleTabs name="charts/bar-list-with-formatter" />

### Labels

To add name and value labels to the bars, use the `BarList.Label` component.

```tsx
<BarList.Label title="Search Engine" flex="1">
  <BarList.Bar />
</BarList.Label>
```

<ExampleTabs name="charts/bar-list-with-label" />

### Link

To make the bars render a link, pass the `label` prop to the `BarList.Bar`
component.

```tsx
<BarList.Bar
  label={({ payload }) => <a href={payload.href}>{payload.name}</a>}
/>
```

### Tooltip

Pass the `tooltip` prop to the `BarList.Bar` component to show a tooltip when
hovering over the bar.
