PureChart

Fully customizable HTML/CSS charts for Ruby on Rails. PureChart serves as an alternative to other charting libraries that extensively use JavaScript and HTML canvas elements to render charts, resulting in Rails rendering problems and very limited customization options.

Getting Started

Integrating PureChart into your Rails project is incredibly easy. Simply add gem 'purechart' to your Gemfile, run bundle install and you should be all set! Now, use our helpers to generate charts in your html.erb files and create your own style configurations in either YML, TOML, or JSON format in the app/purechart directory of your application.

Note - We're currently working on a documentation website (docs.purechart.org). Check back once in a while for updates!
