Overview of this book

Next.js is a powerful addition to the ever-growing and dynamic JavaScript world. Built on top of React, Webpack, and Babel, it is a minimalistic framework for server-rendered universal JavaScript applications. This book will show you the best practices for building sites using Next. js, enabling you to build SEO-friendly and superfast websites. This book will guide you from building a simple single page app to a scalable and reliable client-server infrastructure. You will explore code sharing between client and server, universal modules, and server-side rendering. The book will take you through the core Next.js concepts that everyone is talking about – hot reloading, code splitting, routing, server rendering, transpilation, CSS isolation, and more. You will learn ways of implementing them in order to create your own universal JavaScript application. You will walk through the building and deployment stages of your applications with the JSON API,customizing the confguration, error handling,data fetching, deploying to production, and authentication.

Adding interactive graphs and charts

There are many graph/chart libraries available on the market, but for the sake of an example, we will use the one that is truly React-based and can deliver high performance.

  1. The first step, as usual, is installation:
      $ npm i react-vis --save
  1. Next, let's create a simple graph on the index page.

We need to add library styles (this assumes that you have added the with Css plugin in the previous step):

      import "react-vis/dist/style.css";
  1. Next, let's implement a simple graph; we should import the required parts:
      import {HorizontalGridLines, LineSeries, XAxis, XYPlot, YAxis} from 'react-vis';
  1. Then, we can add a graph implementation, so the resulting page will look like this:
      // pages/index.js
... other imports
import
{HorizontalGridLines, LineSeries, XAxis, XYPlot, YAxis} from...
