- applied the registry's theme (tokens, fonts and CSS from the registry preview settings)
Installation
pnpm dlx shadcn@latest add @8bitcn/chart-area-step
Requires @8bitcn in the registries of your components.json (shadcn adds official directory namespaces automatically).
Usage
usage.tsx
import ChartAreaStep from "@/components/ui/8bit/blocks/chart-area-step";<ChartAreaStep />- Show a single series of values that change at discrete intervals, such as monthly totals or status levels.
- Use when you want a compact chart example with an 8-bit-inspired tooltip treatment.
- Use as a starting point when adapting the hardcoded sample data and chart configuration in the source.
Accessibility
- The component has no props for supplying a title, description, or alternate data representation; add a nearby heading and provide the chart's values in accessible text or a table when those values are important.
- The x-axis displays abbreviated month names, and the tooltip provides details on chart interaction. Do not rely on the tooltip as the only way to access the data.
- The series uses color to distinguish its area; pair the chart with text that identifies the series and summarizes its meaning.
