XDEV is excited to introduce a new open-source component for Vaadin: the “Chart.js Wrapper for Vaadin”. This component allows for seamless integration of Chart.js charts into Vaadin applications. Currently, the component supports Chart.js version 4 and offers a variety of useful features that make it a flexible solution for visualizing data.
Chart.js Wrapper for Vaadin – Features:
- Asynchronous Data Loading: Data can be easily and efficiently loaded and displayed asynchronously.
- Error Display: If a problem occurs, it can be displayed directly in the chart.
- Customizability: The component is highly extendable and can be customized to meet individual requirements.
- Support for Dark Mode: Optimized for use in dark-themed user interfaces.
As an open-source project, the “Chart.js Wrapper for Vaadin” is freely available and can be downloaded from the GitHub repository:

This new component is especially useful in combination with XDEV's Chart.js Java Models, as it greatly simplifies the manual creation of chart configurations.
With Chart.js, you can create various types of charts, including:
- Bar Charts (horizontal or vertical)
- Line Charts (ideal for time-series data)
- Pie Charts (for displaying proportions)
- Doughnut Charts (like pie charts, but with a hole in the center)
- Radar Charts (for comparing multiple values)
- Polar Area Charts (similar to pie charts, but with radial scaling)
- Bubble Charts (for 3D data, with X, Y, and radius)
- Scatter Charts (for precise x/y control)
A detailed overview and the full documentation for the available chart types can be found at www.chartjs.org.
