The thing I've wanted is a visualization library that also comes with the UI controls for configuring graphs: picking the graph type, picking the fields, picking the labels, picking the aggregation, axis settings, etc. Almost no one is implementing libraries that do this. Everyone just keeps building "low-level" graph libraries that leave application developers to build up (in my case) crappy and inflexible configura…

my experience has been that non of these solutions provide enough control granularity, and i keep coming back to d3.js (or other libraries like deck.gl) and building my own UI.

I immediately like this project for being “framework independent” rather than agnostic. It’s odd how computing has fashioned a completely different sense for “agnostic” despite perfectly adequate and well understood words already existing.

In a similar vein, my experience is that most visualizations that people are commonly making are reaching for what is available in R. https://r-graph-gallery.com/ggplot2-package.html

I like the effort and thats it’s freeware, but that react code looks horrible.

I'm curious what is bad about it?

Not in an "I don't believe you" way, but in a "I would love to know what would improve it." Starting to push to clean up some web pages I've been close to at work, finally.

Not OP, but some patterns instantly stood out -

  * The use of `useCallback` is confusing in the demo code and is entirely unnecessary.
  * Inconsistent use of single/double quotes and {}'s for literal values.
  * Non-idiomatic combination of JSX elements + raw HTML in strings [1]
