Preact Chart

tsx
import { Chart } from '@tanstack/preact-charts'

The definition infers datum and coordinate types for every callback. Replace its identity when captured application values change. It also owns focus, tooltip, animation, keyboard policy, focus distance, and spatial indexing.

idPrefixstringGeneratedPrefix for renderer-owned document IDs
renderSvgChartSvgRenderer<TDatum, TXValue, TYValue>renderChartSvgScene-to-SVG renderer
measureTextChartTextMeasurerHost measurerGuide text measurement
onFocusChange(point: ChartPoint | null) => voidNonePrimary focus callback
onFocusGroupChange(points: readonly ChartPoint[]) => voidNoneGrouped focus callback
onSelect(point: ChartPoint | null) => voidNonePointer or keyboard activation callback
onRender(context: ChartRenderContext) => voidNoneLive SVG, container, and scene after rendering
renderTooltipBody(context: ChartTooltipBodyRenderContext) => ComponentChildrenNoneComposes Preact content inside the native tooltip body
classNamestringNoneExtra class on the outer .ts-chart-host
styleJSX.CSSPropertiesNoneOuter host styles applied after adapter sizing

Custom outer styles can override the adapter's computed layout. A fixed width prop still controls scene measurement, so do not give style.width a conflicting value.

renderTooltipBody receives points, content, defaultBody, pinned, and dismiss. Include defaultBody to keep the native title, rows, formatting, and swatches. Ordering, anchoring, placement, portaling, and pinning remain in the definition.

Exported types

ChartCommonProps contains the common host and presentation props. ChartProps adds the definition. ChartPresentationProps contains className and style. ChartTooltipBodyRenderContext describes composed tooltip content. The package also re-exports ChartDefinition and ChartPoint.

See the Preact adapter for lifecycle and SSR behavior, Focus and interaction for callback semantics, and Rendering and export for custom SVG renderers.
