ApexCharts + Bonnard SDK

Build HTML dashboards with ApexCharts and the Bonnard SDK. No build step required.

ApexCharts has the best visual defaults out of the box — no configuration needed for tooltips, responsive behavior, or dark mode. SVG-based rendering produces sharp visuals at any resolution. Moderate payload (~130KB gzip).

Starter template

Copy this complete HTML file as a starting point. Replace bon_pk_YOUR_KEY_HERE with your publishable API key, and update the view/measure/dimension names to match your schema.

Use explore() to discover available views and fields — see Query Reference.

Chart types

Bar chart

new ApexCharts(el, {
  chart: { type: 'bar', height: 300 },
  series: [{ name: 'Revenue', data: data.map(d => d['view.measure']) }],
  xaxis: { categories: data.map(d => d['view.dimension']) },
  plotOptions: { bar: { borderRadius: 4 } },
  colors: ['#3b82f6'],
}).render();

Horizontal bar chart

new ApexCharts(el, {
  chart: { type: 'bar', height: 300 },
  series: [{ name: 'Revenue', data: data.map(d => d['view.measure']) }],
  xaxis: { categories: data.map(d => d['view.dimension']) },
  plotOptions: { bar: { horizontal: true, borderRadius: 4 } },
}).render();

Line chart

new ApexCharts(el, {
  chart: { type: 'line', height: 300 },
  series: [{ name: 'Revenue', data: values }],
  xaxis: { categories: labels },
  stroke: { curve: 'smooth', width: 2 },
}).render();

Area chart

new ApexCharts(el, {
  chart: { type: 'area', height: 300 },
  series: [{ name: 'Revenue', data: values }],
  xaxis: { categories: labels },
  fill: { type: 'gradient', gradient: { opacityFrom: 0.3, opacityTo: 0.05 } },
  stroke: { curve: 'smooth', width: 2 },
}).render();

Pie / donut chart

new ApexCharts(el, {
  chart: { type: 'donut', height: 300 }, // or 'pie'
  series: data.map(d => d['view.measure']),
  labels: data.map(d => d['view.dimension']),
  colors: ['#3b82f6', '#22c55e', '#f59e0b', '#ef4444', '#8b5cf6'],
}).render();

Multi-series line chart

const cities = [...new Set(data.map(d => d['orders.city']))];
const dates = [...new Set(data.map(d => d['orders.created_at']))];

new ApexCharts(el, {
  chart: { type: 'line', height: 300 },
  series: cities.map(city => ({
    name: city,
    data: dates.map(date =>
      data.find(d => d['orders.city'] === city && d['orders.created_at'] === date)?.['orders.revenue'] || 0
    ),
  })),
  xaxis: { categories: dates.map(d => new Date(d).toLocaleDateString()) },
  stroke: { curve: 'smooth', width: 2 },
}).render();

Dark mode

ApexCharts has built-in dark mode support:

const darkTheme = {
  chart: { background: 'transparent', foreColor: '#a1a1aa' },
  theme: { mode: 'dark' },
  grid: { borderColor: '#27272a' },
  tooltip: { theme: 'dark' },
};

new ApexCharts(el, {
  ...darkTheme,
  chart: { ...darkTheme.chart, type: 'bar', height: 300 },
  // ... rest of config
}).render();
