ApexCharts + Bonnard SDK

Build HTML dashboards with ApexCharts and the Bonnard SDK. No build step required.

ApexCharts has the best visual defaults out of the box — no configuration needed for tooltips, responsive behavior, or dark mode. SVG-based rendering produces sharp visuals at any resolution. Moderate payload (~130KB gzip).

Starter template

Copy this complete HTML file as a starting point. Replace bon_pk_YOUR_KEY_HERE with your publishable API key, and update the view/measure/dimension names to match your schema.

Use explore() to discover available views and fields — see Query Reference.

new ApexCharts(el, {
  chart: { type: "bar", height: 300 },
  series: [{ name: "Revenue", data: data.map((d) => d["view.measure"]) }],
  xaxis: { categories: data.map((d) => d["view.dimension"]) },
  plotOptions: { bar: { borderRadius: 4 } },
  colors: ["#3b82f6"],
}).render();

Horizontal bar chart

new ApexCharts(el, {
  chart: { type: "bar", height: 300 },
  series: [{ name: "Revenue", data: data.map((d) => d["view.measure"]) }],
  xaxis: { categories: data.map((d) => d["view.dimension"]) },
  plotOptions: { bar: { horizontal: true, borderRadius: 4 } },
}).render();

Line chart

new ApexCharts(el, {
  chart: { type: "line", height: 300 },
  series: [{ name: "Revenue", data: values }],
  xaxis: { categories: labels },
  stroke: { curve: "smooth", width: 2 },
}).render();

Area chart

new ApexCharts(el, {
  chart: { type: "area", height: 300 },
  series: [{ name: "Revenue", data: values }],
  xaxis: { categories: labels },
  fill: { type: "gradient", gradient: { opacityFrom: 0.3, opacityTo: 0.05 } },
  stroke: { curve: "smooth", width: 2 },
}).render();

Pie / donut chart

new ApexCharts(el, {
  chart: { type: "donut", height: 300 }, // or 'pie'
  series: data.map((d) => d["view.measure"]),
  labels: data.map((d) => d["view.dimension"]),
  colors: ["#3b82f6", "#22c55e", "#f59e0b", "#ef4444", "#8b5cf6"],
}).render();

Multi-series line chart

const cities = [...new Set(data.map((d) => d["orders.city"]))];
const dates = [...new Set(data.map((d) => d["orders.created_at"]))];

new ApexCharts(el, {
  chart: { type: "line", height: 300 },
  series: cities.map((city) => ({
    name: city,
    data: dates.map(
      (date) => data.find((d) => d["orders.city"] === city && d["orders.created_at"] === date)?.["orders.revenue"] || 0,
    ),
  })),
  xaxis: { categories: dates.map((d) => new Date(d).toLocaleDateString()) },
  stroke: { curve: "smooth", width: 2 },
}).render();

Dark mode

ApexCharts has built-in dark mode support:

const darkTheme = {
  chart: { background: "transparent", foreColor: "#a1a1aa" },
  theme: { mode: "dark" },
  grid: { borderColor: "#27272a" },
  tooltip: { theme: "dark" },
};

new ApexCharts(el, {
  ...darkTheme,
  chart: { ...darkTheme.chart, type: "bar", height: 300 },
  // ... rest of config
}).render();
