Chartist JS is a simple, flexible way to visualize so many types of data. From your standard line charts, donut charts, and bar charts to animated and responsive charts that are highly customizable to meet your needs. It's lightweight with minimal dependencies which makes it easy to port into whatever application you need it for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

ChartistJS works in modern browsers. This is great, however I have run into situations where my clients (for whatever reason) are still using old versions. This makes ChartistJS either impossible to use, or impossible to use the full set of features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The library is very light, just 10Kb to be embedded in your webpage and very easy to setup. It doesn't have any other dependencies which makes it extremely configurable and easy to use. its open source and documentation is very readable and clear for anyone to start customising it. On top of it, it makes use of SVG , making the charts objects as handy as DOM objects . You can style it in your manner using the DOM hooks.It provides the basic charts - line, bar, pie with at-most animations, labels and colours . The grid option is the best, it gives your graphs the rich UI experience. These are more than enough if you want to build a dashboard giving simple statistics around your data. Because of its rich responsive support for multiple screen sizes, you don't need to think about how the chart will look on small screens. It just works seamlessly across any devices you can think of . Making your focus only towards the data that you want to show on the graph and its processing.

The library just provides basic 3 chart types - bar, line , pie - These may not suffice if you want to show advance statistics or visualisations on your data. For example, if you want to show the network topology , you might need to look for library like D3.js or any other. Also, the tooltips, point labels, zoom , pan, axis title options are missing from the basic library options. If you want these , you need to install plugins separately which is kind of irritating. The charts are static in nature, you don't have any events mechanism if you click on any part of chart, you need to handle it on your own for now. The charts crash when large amount of data is thrown on them, the library is not designed to handle voluminous data. The charts work only on the modern Browsers like Chrome, Firefox and IE . The older versions are not supported by the library for now. So if you customers make use of old browsers, you cannot use Chartist.js. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The code involved for making a nice looking graph or chart is ridiculously easy task. If you have ever used chart.js it will look very familiar and be easier to use actually. Moreover, the documentation they have online is quite substantial as it provides an example of almost everything you can encounter or do with the tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Mixing in CSS with the javascript is kind of confusing. For someone who isn't too adept in html or css (but familiar), there is definitely a strange learning curve to it if you're creating websites that are responsive and reactive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
