Here's an example on how to create a donut chart from Chart.js (assuming you already have the dependencies installed) and use it in MDX posts. First, create a new DonutChart.tsx
component in components
:
'use client'
import { Doughnut } from 'react-chartjs-2'
import { Chart as ChartJS, ArcElement, Tooltip, Legend } from 'chart.js'
ChartJS.register(ArcElement, Tooltip, Legend)
const DonutChart = ({ data }) => {
return <Doughnut data={data} />
}
export default Doughnut
Since the underlying Doughnut
component uses React hooks, we add the 'use client'
directive to specify that it is a client side component. Also, there is an existing issue which prevents named components from being used, so we need to export the component as the default export.
Next, add the component to MDXComponents.tsx
:
...
+ import DonutChart from './DonutChart'
export const components: MDXComponents = {
Image,
TOCInline,
a: CustomLink,
pre: Pre,
+ DonutChart,
BlogNewsletterForm,
}
You can now use the component in .mdx
files:
## Example Donut Chart
export const data = {
labels: ['Red', 'Blue', 'Yellow'],
datasets: [
{
label: '# of Votes',
data: [12, 19, 3],
backgroundColor: [
'rgba(255, 99, 132, 0.2)',
'rgba(54, 162, 235, 0.2)',
'rgba(255, 206, 86, 0.2)',
],
borderColor: ['rgba(255, 99, 132, 1)', 'rgba(54, 162, 235, 1)', 'rgba(255, 206, 86, 1)'],
borderWidth: 1,
},
],
}
<DonutChart data={data} />
