Props

series*	Array<object>	-	The series to display in the bar chart.
axisHighlight	{ x?: 'band' \| 'line' \| 'none', y?: 'band' \| 'line' \| 'none' }	-	The configuration of axes highlight. Default is set to 'band' in the bar direction. Depends on `layout` prop. See highlight docs for more details.
bottomAxis	{ axisId?: number \| string, classes?: object, disableLine?: bool, disableTicks?: bool, fill?: string, label?: string, labelFontSize?: number, labelStyle?: object, position?: 'bottom' \| 'top', slotProps?: object, slots?: object, stroke?: string, tickFontSize?: number, tickInterval?: 'auto' \| array \| func, tickLabelInterval?: 'auto' \| func, tickLabelPlacement?: 'middle' \| 'tick', tickLabelStyle?: object, tickMaxStep?: number, tickMinStep?: number, tickNumber?: number, tickPlacement?: 'end' \| 'extremities' \| 'middle' \| 'start', tickSize?: number } \| string	xAxisIds[0] The id of the first provided axis	Indicate which axis to display the bottom of the charts. Can be a string (the id of the axis) or an object `ChartsXAxisProps`.
colors	Array<string> \| func	blueberryTwilightPalette	Color palette used to colorize multiple series.
dataset	Array<object>	-	An array of objects that can be used to populate series and axes data using their `dataKey` property.
disableAxisListener	bool	false	If `true`, the charts will not listen to the mouse move event. It might break interactive features, but will improve performance.
grid	{ horizontal?: bool, vertical?: bool }	-	Option to display a cartesian grid in the background.
height	number	-	The height of the chart in px. If not defined, it takes the height of the parent element.
layout	'horizontal' \| 'vertical'	'vertical'	The direction of the bar elements.
leftAxis	{ axisId?: number \| string, classes?: object, disableLine?: bool, disableTicks?: bool, fill?: string, label?: string, labelFontSize?: number, labelStyle?: object, position?: 'left' \| 'right', slotProps?: object, slots?: object, stroke?: string, tickFontSize?: number, tickInterval?: 'auto' \| array \| func, tickLabelInterval?: 'auto' \| func, tickLabelPlacement?: 'middle' \| 'tick', tickLabelStyle?: object, tickMaxStep?: number, tickMinStep?: number, tickNumber?: number, tickPlacement?: 'end' \| 'extremities' \| 'middle' \| 'start', tickSize?: number } \| string	yAxisIds[0] The id of the first provided axis	Indicate which axis to display the left of the charts. Can be a string (the id of the axis) or an object `ChartsYAxisProps`.
margin	{ bottom?: number, left?: number, right?: number, top?: number }	object Depends on the charts type.	The margin between the SVG and the drawing area. It's used for leaving some space for extra information such as the x- and y-axis or legend. Accepts an object with the optional properties: `top`, `bottom`, `left`, and `right`.
onAxisClick	func	-	The function called for onClick events. The second argument contains information about all line/bar elements at the current mouse position. Signature:`function(event: MouseEvent, data: null \| AxisData) => void` `event` The mouse event recorded on the `<svg/>` element. `data` The data about the clicked axis and items associated with it.
onItemClick	func	-	Callback fired when a bar item is clicked. Signature:`function(event: React.MouseEvent, barItemIdentifier: BarItemIdentifier) => void` `event` The event source of the callback. `barItemIdentifier` The bar item identifier.
rightAxis	{ axisId?: number \| string, classes?: object, disableLine?: bool, disableTicks?: bool, fill?: string, label?: string, labelFontSize?: number, labelStyle?: object, position?: 'left' \| 'right', slotProps?: object, slots?: object, stroke?: string, tickFontSize?: number, tickInterval?: 'auto' \| array \| func, tickLabelInterval?: 'auto' \| func, tickLabelPlacement?: 'middle' \| 'tick', tickLabelStyle?: object, tickMaxStep?: number, tickMinStep?: number, tickNumber?: number, tickPlacement?: 'end' \| 'extremities' \| 'middle' \| 'start', tickSize?: number } \| string	null	Indicate which axis to display the right of the charts.

skipAnimation	bool	false	If `true`, animations are skipped.
slotProps	object	{}	The props used for each component slot.
slots	object	{}	Overridable component slots. See Slots API below for more details.
tooltip	{ axisContent?: elementType, classes?: object, itemContent?: elementType, slotProps?: object, slots?: object, trigger?: 'axis' \| 'item' \| 'none' }	-	The configuration of the tooltip. See tooltip docs for more details.
