In real-world applications, charts rarely exist in isolation. Recharts is often used alongside other libraries to manage data and build consistent user interfaces.

Working with State Management

Charts usually reflect data that changes across the application. You can store this data in a global state solution such as Redux, Zustand, or React Context. When the state updates—after a user action or data fetch—your Recharts components automatically re-render with the new data. This keeps charts in sync with the rest of the application and ensures a predictable data flow.

Using UI Libraries for Layout and Styling

UI libraries like Material-UI help you structure and style your charts within a larger interface. Charts can be placed inside layout components such as cards or grids, making dashboards easier to organize and visually consistent. Theming tools provided by UI libraries also help charts match the overall look and feel of your application.

Exporting Charts

In some cases, charts need to be shared outside the application, such as in reports or presentations. A common approach is exporting charts as images using libraries like html2canvas or dom-to-image, which capture the rendered chart and save it as an image file.
