What is microcharts?

microcharts is a set of tiny, word-sized React charts — sparklines, micro bars and inline SVG trend lines that sit inside a sentence, table cell, KPI card or AI reply. It ships with zero runtime dependencies, weighs roughly 2–7 kB interactive and 1–4 kB static per chart, and is accessible and RSC-safe by default.

Pros

  • Tiny bundle size — 1–4 kB static per chart
  • Zero runtime dependencies for static charts
  • Accessible and RSC-safe out of the box
  • Easy to drop into tables, cards and AI replies

Cons

  • React-only; not usable in Vue, Svelte or vanilla projects
  • Specialised scope — only sparkline-style micro charts

Who should use microcharts

React developers, dashboard builders and designers who need lightweight, inline charts without pulling in a heavy charting library.

Who may not need it

Teams building complex analytical dashboards with tooltips, legends and deep interactivity may still prefer a full charting library.
