Chartkick
Ruby gem that renders JavaScript charts from one line of Ruby in a view.
Chartkick is a Ruby gem that draws a JavaScript chart from one line of Ruby in a view. The gem is added to a Gemfile, and the JavaScript side is set up through the app’s asset tooling: Importmap, a JavaScript bundler or Sprockets. The quick start pairs it with Chart.js. The README also covers Sinatra and Padrino, where chartkick.js is downloaded and included by hand.
Worth knowing
The homepage navigation lists Python, React, Vue and Elixir versions of Chartkick as separate projects.
