Have you ever wanted to print some pretty bar charts in your terminal? You are in the right place!

wunder-bar-cli-all

Wunderbar can print horisontal bar chart with legend and chart scale straight to your terminal. Or you can use it as a module in your code and get all the building blocks to print chart yourself.

Wunderbar uses partial block characters (▏▎▍▌▋▊▉█) to print the most precise charts possible:

wunder-bar-precise

Use in terminal

echo "[1, 2, 3, 4, 5]" | npx @gribnoysup/wunderbar --min 0

wunder-bar-echo-json

cat data.json | npx @gribnoysup/wunderbar --min 0

wunder-bar-cat-file

Use in your code

npm i --save @gribnoysup/wunderbar
const wunderbar = require('@gribnoysup/wunderbar');
const data = require('./data.json');

const printData = () => {
  const { chart, legend, scale, __raw } = wunderbar(data, {
    min: 0,
    length: 42,
  });

  console.log();
  console.log(chart);
  console.log();
  console.log(scale);
  console.log();
};

printData();

Limitations

  • Wunderbar supports only node >= 6

  • Wunderbar uses chalk.hex to add color to your charts. Chalk is pretty smart to downgrade the color if it is not supported by your terminal, but output may vary in different terminals.
