Introduction

Echarts In this article, we will cover using ngx-echarts in an Angular project. A large selection of highly customizable charting capabilities are offered by the Echarts javascript-based library for online applications.

It is possible to create echart library-based charts in a react application using the ngx-echarts package module, which is specifically tailored for Angular applications.

Echarts is an open-source community-powered charting library that is supported by Apache and is run by a sizable number of contributors. Highly interactive charts are created using the HTML5-based canvas element using the Echarts package. These charts provide a wide range of configuration options, and they make it simple to combine many chart types into a single depiction.

@Component({
