Summary

Cube.js, an analytics API layer for SQL databases, is often used with various visualization libraries to create dashboards, leading to a continuous search for developer-friendly options. The text reviews several React-specific charting libraries, each offering unique features for building stacked bar charts with Cube.js, hosted on Heroku. Recharts is noted for its modular components and popularity despite having many open issues, while Victory is praised for its composability, React Native compatibility, and fewer open issues. Nivo, though non-composable, provides interactive documentation and a Storybook for examples, requiring specific packages for each chart type. BizCharts, backed by Alibaba, integrates well with the Ant Design Framework but faces challenges due to its predominantly Chinese documentation. React-vis, developed by Uber, is modular with well-documented components and allows for customization through CSS styles. Users are encouraged to suggest additional libraries for review via a public Slack community.
