Flutter Chart Magic with fl_chart #2

Hey heyy! Welcome back! ✌🏻 Today, I’m excited to dive into another aspect of the fantastic world of ‘fl_chart’ with you. We’ll be exploring bar chart this time.

Why Use fl_chart?

‘fl_chart’ is like magic wand for making chart in Flutter. It’s super easy to use, even if I’m just starting out. Plus, it lets me make all kinds of charts that look awesome and showcase my data in an exciting manner.

Bar Charts

Bar charts are like the superheroes of data visualization. They turn numbers into visual stories that anyone can understand at a glance. With ‘fl_chart’, creating these visual wonders becomes an engaging and flexible experience.

Step 1: Add the dependencies to pubspec.yaml file

fl_chart: ^0.65.0

Step 2: Create HomePage

In the ‘home_page.dart’ file, let’s craft three buttons to explore our examples. In the ‘routes.dart’ file I’ve set up navigation to our examples, you can check out the source code for details.

Step 3: Import the package and start to code

import 'package:fl_chart/fl_chart.dart';

Afterward, we’ll create our first example, following a similar code structure with a clear separation between ‘view’ and ‘widget’. We’re starting with ‘view’ part.

FirstBarChartPage

Create ‘first_bar_chart.dart’ file inside the ‘views’ in ‘lib’ folder.

Next in line, let’s explore our second example together!

SecondBarChartPage

Create ‘second_bar_chart.dart’ file inside the ‘views’ in ‘lib’ folder.

We’re just about there, and for the big finale example…

ThirdBarChartPage

Create ‘third_bar_chart.dart’ file inside the ‘views’ in ‘lib’ folder.
