+1 for chart.js - use it for most charting needs and even created a Wagtail app[1] that uses Chart.js on the frontend to render charts based on user input.
Ditto here. I thought I'd try Apex Charts on my most recent project and regret it:
- mobile support works, but is poorly done
- very heavy library to load
- RAM intensive; a few charts w/ lots (e.g. ~100) data points spirals out of control (e.g. memory spikes from 60 MB to 700 MB). On mobile this basically guarantees that the tab crashes.
- UI interactions feel laggy and lack responsiveness (e.g. panning is pure guesswork)
I thought the SVG vs canvas focus would be nice, but not at these costs.
It's pretty easy to configure and understand. It's the 80/20 principal of charts, it is 80% of D3 functionality for 20% the effort.
