Summary

This guide explains how to use the JavaScript library roughViz in Vue.js applications to create charts that resemble hand-drawn sketches. Built on top of D3.js and Rough.js, roughViz provides a variety of chart styles accessible through the vue-roughviz wrapper, allowing seamless integration into Vue.js projects. The tutorial covers setting up a Vue application using vue-cli, adding vue-roughviz to the project, and utilizing its components to create different types of charts such as bar, pie, and line charts. It also demonstrates loading external data from an API, specifically using the Coingecko API to display Bitcoin price history in a chart. The article highlights the simplicity of creating visually distinct, sketch-like charts and encourages further exploration of the roughViz library on GitHub. Additionally, it suggests using LogRocket for monitoring and debugging Vue.js applications by replaying user sessions and capturing detailed logs and errors.
