Great meta graphing library. Love that Google Charts AND Highcharts are supported.

The ruby wrapper lib around the JS is dead simple. Could be ported to any language with ease. Very nice work!

Be sure you include the tag for Google Charts or Highcharts before you include chartkick.js.

Thanks! I started out heavy on the Ruby side but moved most logic to the JS to make AJAX charts dead simple to implement. (render :json => chart_data)
