What is a guide?

Guide is an article explaining a certain topic related to Recharts. It can be a tutorial, a best practices article, or an in-depth explanation of a specific feature. Guides are JSX components defined in www/src/components/GuideView folder.

Guide structure

Each guide is a folder. Inside the folder there is index.tsx file which is the main component of the guide. A guide will usually contain one or more example charts which will be in their own files in the same folder. These charts are imported and used in the main index.tsx file.

Look at the website-example skill for instructions on how to create example charts.

Creating a new guide

When creating a new guide, the exported component must be registered in few places for it to be visible in the UI:

• www/src/components/GuideView/<guideName>/index.tsx - the guide component itself
• www/src/views/GuideView.tsx - import and add the guide to the list of guides
• www/src/navigation.data.ts - add the guide to the navigation data for it to be visible in the sidebar
• www/src/locale/en-US.ts - add the guide title in english
• www/src/locale/zh-CN.ts - add the guide title in chinese

All of these must be defined, otherwise the guide will not show up in the navigation.
