## Installation

```sh
npm install react-native-gifted-charts react-native-linear-gradient react-native-svg
```

For Pie chart and Donut chart, these additional packages should be installed-

```sh
npm i react-native-canvas react-native-webview
```

You can omit the above packages if you don't intend to use Pie chart or Donuut chart.

For iOS-

```sh
cd ios && pod install
```

## Usage

The simplest usage of various types of charts can be done as below-

```js
import { BarChart, LineChart, PieChart } from "react-native-gifted-charts";

// ...
const data=[ {value:50}, {value:80}, {value:90}, {value:70} ]

<BarChart data = {data} />
<LineChart data = {data} />
<PieChart data = {data} />

// For Horizontal Bar chart, just add the prop horizontal to the <BarChart/> component

<BarChart data = {data} horizontal />

// For Area chart, just add the prop areaChart to the <LineChart/> component

<LineChart data = {data} areaChart />

// For Donut chart, just add the prop donut to the <PieChart/> component

<PieChart data = {data} donut />
```
