PortalJS — Add Chart

Overview

Add a visualization to a dataset's showcase in a PortalJS portal. The skill installs recharts (added directly — never @portaljs/components), writes a reusable client-side Chart component into components/, and renders a <Chart /> into the Views section of the showcase route pages/[owner]/[slug].tsx for one chosen dataset. The chart reads the same /public/data/<file> the showcase <Table /> already uses, so no data is duplicated. Five chart types are supported: line, bar, area, pie, and scatter.

Prerequisites

• A scaffolded PortalJS portal (see portaljs-new-portal).
• The target dataset already registered in datasets.json (see portaljs-add-dataset).
• components/ui/parseCsv.ts present (ships with the template).
• Node 18+ and npm available in the portal directory.

Instructions

The canonical, full step-by-step workflow is .claude/commands/portaljs-add-chart.md — the single source of truth. Read and follow it when executing. Summary:

1. Gather input — dataset slug, X column, Y column(s), chart type (default line), portal directory. If any is missing, interview the user; never dead-end on a missing value.
2. Resolve the dataset from datasets.json (namespace, file, format).
3. Validate that the X and every Y column exist in the data file's header; warn on non-numeric Y columns (values are coerced with Number()).
4. Install the chart library: npm install recharts@^2.15.0.
5. Write components/Chart.tsx (idempotent — do not overwrite a customized component).
6. Render <Chart /> into the Views section, gated on the dataset's (namespace, slug) so other showcases are unaffected. Extend an existing view-dispatch block, do not overwrite.
7. Verify with npx tsc --noEmit.
8. Report the component, route, and dependency added.

Output

• Created: (recharts wrapper, if absent).
