## Usage

```tsx
import { Chart, useChart } from "@chakra-ui/charts"
import { CartesianGrid, Line, LineChart, XAxis, YAxis } from "recharts"
```

```tsx
<Chart.Root>
  <LineChart>
    <CartesianGrid />
    <XAxis />
    <YAxis />
    <Line />
  </LineChart>
</Chart.Root>
```

## Examples

### Axes Label

To add labels to the x and y axes, use the `Label` component from `recharts`.

```tsx
<XAxis axisLine={false} label={{ value: "X Axis", position: "bottom" }} />
<YAxis axisLine={false} label={{ value: "Y Axis", position: "left", angle: -90 }} />
```

<ExampleTabs name="charts/line-chart-axes-label" />

### No Dots

Set `dot` and `activeDot` to `false` to hide the dots completely.

```tsx
<Line dot={false} activeDot={false} />
```

<ExampleTabs name="charts/line-chart-no-dots" />

### Point Labels

Render the `LabelList` component from `recharts` inside the `Line` component to
show labels at each data point.

```tsx
<Line>
  <LabelList position="right" offset={10} />
</Line>
```

<ExampleTabs name="charts/line-chart-with-point-label" />

### Gradient

Use the `Chart.Gradient` component to create a gradient. Ensure the `id` is
unique and used in the `stroke` prop of the `Line` component.

```tsx
<defs>
  <Chart.Gradient id="custom-gradient" stops={[]} />
</defs>
<Line stroke="url(#custom-gradient)" />
```

<ExampleTabs name="charts/line-chart-with-gradient" />

### Dashed

Set the `strokeDasharray` prop in the `series` object to create a dashed line.

```ts /strokeDasharray: "5 5"/
const chart = useChart({
  data: [
    { windows: 186, mac: 165, month: "January" },
    //...
  ],
  series: [
    { name: "windows", color: "teal.solid", strokeDasharray: "5 5" },
    { name: "mac", color: "purple.solid" },
  ],
})
```

<ExampleTabs name="charts/line-chart-with-dashed" />

### Multiple

Here's an example of a line chart with multiple series.

<ExampleTabs name="charts/line-chart-multiple" />

### Legend Interaction

Adding interactivity to the chart legends make it come to life. To enable this
feature, set the `interaction` prop to `"hover"` or `"click"` in the
`Chart.Legend` component.

```tsx
<Chart.Legend interaction="hover" />
```

<ExampleTabs name="charts/line-chart-legend-interaction" />

### Start and End Tick

By default, the chart shows the label for each tick. To show just the start and
end ticks, pass the `ticks` prop to the `XAxis` component from `recharts`.

> You can optionally pass a `label` prop to the `XAxis` component to show a
> label at the bottom of the axis.

```tsx
<XAxis
  ticks={["January", "August"]}
  label={{ value: "[January - August] Customers", position: "bottom" }}
/>
```

<ExampleTabs name="charts/line-chart-start-end-tick" />

### Value Formatter

To format the value axis ticks, pass the `tickFormatter` prop to the `YAxis`
component from `recharts`.

```tsx
<YAxis
  tickFormatter={chart.formatNumber({
    style: "currency",
    currency: "USD",
    notation: "compact",
  })}
/>
```

<ExampleTabs name="charts/line-chart-value-formatter" />

### Biaxial

Use the `yAxisId` prop in the `series` object and `YAxis` component to create a
chart with two y-axes.

```tsx
<YAxis yAxisId="left" />
<YAxis yAxisId="right" orientation="right" />
```

<ExampleTabs name="charts/line-chart-biaxial" />

### Custom Tooltip

In event you need to customize the tooltip entirely, replace the `Chart.Tooltip`
component with your own. The basic signature of a custom tooltip looks like:

```tsx
function CustomTooltip(props: TooltipProps<string, string>) {
  const { active, payload, label } = props
  if (!active || !payload || payload.length === 0) return null

  return <Box>{/* Your custom tooltip content */}</Box>
}
```

<ExampleTabs name="charts/line-chart-custom-tooltip" />

### Series Label

To add a custom label to the series, set the `label` prop in the `series`
object.

```tsx /label: "Mac sales"/ /label: "Linux sales"/
const chart = useChart({
  data: [
    { mac: 10, linux: 120, month: "January" },
    //...
  ],
  series: [
    { name: "mac", label: "Mac sales", color: "purple.solid" },
    { name: "linux", label: "Linux sales", color: "blue.solid" },
  ],
})
```

<ExampleTabs name="charts/line-chart-with-series-label" />

### Reference Point

Use the reference components from `recharts` to highlight a specific data point.

```tsx
<ReferenceDot x="August" y={110} r={6} />
<ReferenceLine y={110} label={{ value: "Target", position: "top" }} />
```

<ExampleTabs name="charts/line-chart-with-reference-point" />

### Value Domain

Pass the `domain` prop to the `YAxis` component to set the domain (upper and
lower bounds) of the value axis.

```tsx /domain: [0, 100]/
<YAxis domain={[0, 100]} />
```

<ExampleTabs name="charts/line-chart-with-value-domain" />

### Connect Nulls

To connect the null values, set the `connectNulls` prop to `true` in the `Line`
component.

```tsx
<Line connectNulls />
```

<ExampleTabs name="charts/line-chart-with-nulls" />

### Composition

Here's an example of composing the `Card`, `State` and `Chart` components
together to create a stunning visualization.

<ExampleTabs name="charts/line-chart-composition" />

### Line Types

Recharts provides flexible support for various kinds of line charts.

Below are the different types of line charts you can create:

<Box mt="12" borderWidth="1px" ps="3" pe="10" py="10" rounded="l2">
  <ExamplePreview name="charts/line-chart-with-types" />
</Box>
