Question 1

Is react-d3-components still maintained in 2024?

Accepted Answer

No, the project is looking for maintainers and hasn't seen active development for years, with the last changelog entries from older React versions. This makes it a risky choice for new projects needing updates.

Question 2

How to add a brush for date range selection in react-d3-components?

Accepted Answer

Use the Brush component with an xScale set to a D3 time scale, as shown in the brush example. However, note that brush support is incomplete—only x-axis is available, and it requires manual scaling setup.

Question 3

react-d3-components vs recharts: which should I use?

Accepted Answer

React-d3-components offers deeper D3 customization and flexibility for tweaking charts but lacks maintenance and features. Recharts is more actively developed, has better documentation, and provides pre-styled components, though it might be less flexible for custom D3 integrations.

Question 4

How to customize tooltips to follow the mouse?

Accepted Answer

Set the tooltipMode prop to 'mouse' and use the tooltipHtml callback, as detailed in the Tooltips section. You can also adjust positioning with tooltipOffset and tooltipContained for better control.

Question 5

Can I use react-d3-components with TypeScript?

Accepted Answer

There's no official TypeScript support mentioned in the README, and given the inactive maintenance, you'd likely need to write your own type definitions or find community-contributed ones, which might be outdated.

Question 6

What chart types are supported in react-d3-components?

Accepted Answer

It supports bar charts (with stacking and grouping), line charts, scatter plots, area charts (including stacked), pie charts, and a waveform chart for audio visualization. The Features section lists all these with examples.

Question 7

How to make charts responsive in react-d3-components?

Accepted Answer

The waveform chart uses a viewBox for responsiveness, but for other charts, you need to handle resizing manually via props like width and height, or use external logic, as automatic responsiveness isn't built-in.
