Britecharts-react is a React wrapper for the Britecharts charting library

# Britecharts React
Britecharts-react is a [React][react] wrapper for the [Britecharts][britecharts] charting library.


## Usage
Britecharts-React components are used just like any other stateless React component. You will pass in some props and it would render a chart:

```js static
<StackedAreaComponent
    data={stackedAreaData.with2Sources()}
    width={600}
    height={400}
/>

```

## API
Each component's API will be a reflect of [Britecharts][britecharts] charts and their APIs. That way, if we need to render a bar chart, we will first check the [bar chart's API][barChartAPI] in the main project API reference page. You can read more about the approach [here][topics]

From there, we will proceed to pass each of the configurations through the usual props as we do in React projects:
```js static
<BarComponent
    data={barData.with2Entries()}
    width={400}
    isHorizontal={true}
    margin={marginObject}
>
```

## Installation
Britecharts-React is available as an [NPM module][npmModule] or through CDN links (in [different formats][jsDelivrLib] or a [bundle][jsDelivrDist]).

You can use either minified individual UMD modules(lib/umd), a minified UMD bundle(dist/) or un-minified and un-transpiled ES2015 modules(lib/esm) to add to your bundle.


## Next steps
We are accepting PRs for creating wrappers for Britecharts components. Check our [contributing guide][contributingGuide], drop by the #britecharts channel in the [d3 slack][d3Slack] or just create an issue if you want to know more.


## Acknowledgments
For this project, we have followed the approach called ‘Mapping Lifecycle methods’ based on [Nicholas Hery's article][integration-article].
