1. Project Title
Custom Charts Library
2. Project Overview
The Custom Charts Library project aims to create a reusable and customizable JavaScript-based charting library. It will offer dynamic visualization components such as bar charts, line graphs, pie charts, and more. The library will be designed to be lightweight, flexible, and easy to integrate into other web applications.
3. Objectives
- To develop a customizable charting library using HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript (or D3.js/Chart.js).
- To support common chart types such as bar, line, and pie charts.
- To allow theming, tooltip customization, and responsiveness.
- To provide clear documentation and usage examples.
4. Tools and Technologies
- HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript
- Optional: D3.js, Chart.js, or Canvas API
- Visual Studio Code or any code editor
- Git for version control
5. System Requirements
- Modern web browser (Chrome, Firefox, Edge)
- Local or web server for testing (optional)
6. Modules and Features
- Bar Chart Module
- Line Chart Module
- Pie Chart Module
- Chart Configuration Module (for customizing colors, labels, tooltips)
- Export/Download Functionality
- Demo and Documentation Pages
7. Future Enhancements
- Add more chart types (scatter plot, radar chart, etc.)
- Integration with data sources (APIs, CSV files)
- Animation support and transitions
- Accessibility improvements
8. Conclusion
This project will enhance your understanding of data visualization, DOM manipulation, and modular JavaScript. The end result will be a flexible and reusable library that can be integrated into a wide variety of applications.
