name description
building-webapp-data-visualization Adds data visualization components (charts, stat cards, KPI metrics) to React pages using Recharts. Use when the user asks to add a chart, graph, donut chart, pie chart, bar chart, stat card, KPI metric, dashboard visualization, or analytics component to the web application.

Data Visualization

When to Use

Use this skill when:

  • Adding charts (donut, pie, bar, line, area) to a dashboard or analytics page
  • Displaying KPI/metric stat cards with trend indicators
  • Building a dashboard layout with mixed chart types and summary cards

Step 1 — Determine the visualization type

Identify what the user needs:

  • Donut / pie chart — categorical breakdown (e.g. issue types, status distribution)
  • Bar chart — comparison across categories or time periods
  • Line / area chart — trends over time
  • Stat card — single KPI metric with optional trend indicator
  • Combined dashboard — stat cards + one or more charts

If unclear, ask:

"What data should the chart display, and would a donut chart, bar chart, line chart, or stat cards work best?"


Step 2 — Install dependencies

All chart types in this skill use recharts. Install once from the web app directory:

npm install recharts

Recharts is built on D3 and provides declarative React components. No additional CSS is needed.


Step 3 — Choose implementation path

Read the corresponding guide:

  • Bar chart — read implementation/bar-line-chart.md (categorical data)
  • Line / area chart — read implementation/bar-line-chart.md (time-series data)
  • Donut / pie chart — read implementation/donut-chart.md
  • Stat card with trend — read implementation/stat-card.md
  • Dashboard layout — read implementation/dashboard-layout.md

Verification

Before completing:

  1. Chart renders with correct data and colors.
  2. Chart is responsive (resizes with container).
  3. Legend labels match the data categories.
  4. Stat card trends display correct positive/negative indicators.
  5. Run from the web app directory:
cd force-app/main/default/webapplications/<appName> && npm run lint && npm run build
  • Lint: MUST result in 0 errors.
  • Build: MUST succeed.
