I want to use charts in my react project, but I have no clue how to implement a chart in react, all the videos I found are out dated.
I'm using React (TS) with function components, nodeJS, mySQL.
How do I create this?
If any one have a guide or can explain to me what to do, I'll be happy.

Currently I'm working on a tester program for an inhouse project. The logic is written in node, for sending and receiveing data via serialport Im using serialport module and the data I receive is stored in excel with the XLSX populate module. The program works fine, but I want to create a basic UI to show the realtime data on a chart, also some input fields and buttons to control. I tried communicating with a browser, but it seems that browsers do not like commonJs modules. I did some research on the topic, but the answers were not clear.
Is there a way to use commonJs modules in the browser?
If I build a node project, can I connect it to an HTML like an ordinary JS file?
If not, what framework do I need in order to do so?
Sorry if my letter is annoyingly untechnical, Im doing my best:)
I currently have a react native app with NodeJS as my backend, Sequilize as my ORM and postgres as my database. Everything in terms of API is working as required but now i want to create an admin panel to view all the data on.
I kept researched online and found instead of developing an admin panel from scratch i can use react-admin to help me out.
I followed all the instructions on the react-admin documentation and reached a conclusion that everything happens in the DataProvider.
My problem is how do i go about and accomplish it?
Update: When I first started with this question I was basically struggling to understand what I needed to do in order to make my frontend interact with the backend.
To answer my own question in case new guys come in:
If you use ejs, you are using server side rendering, meanwhile if you work your frontend separated your backend, you'll mostly be working with APIs.
First learn Node. Than work your way through on how APIs work. After feeling comfortable, start learning React.
Yes its normal. Just start building a project or else you'll stay in that tutorial hell.
So I have basic knowledge about React, intermediate level on javascript... and now I have taken a node with mongodb course. So I know that, i'll be feeding my tutorial hell if I do not put all those together and start building something from scratch. But till now, I have only rendered the EJS files and know how to setup everything from the ejs view point.
So now I feel quite lost as if someone gave me a puzzle with missing pieces.
I know some of you guys have taken this road so I have a couple of questions, even though some sound quite stupid:
How can node code be affected introducing reactJs, because I am currently using res.render('ejsViewFile')?
When you guys first learned this approach for using the MERN Stack, how did you learn to connect both of them? I find a lot of tutorials... but they confuse me even more.
Is this normal... me feeling like I have learned absolutely NOTHING?
It's great to see such type of questions.
I have also developed web application in which I have to just use the node JS and react with multiple microservices.
so I am also going through from such tutorials on udemy and other tutorials that are available on the website.
I found out that you can use react JS as a front UI and you can use node JS for backend if you don't want to use spring boot for your microservices it is just fine.
So basically I have developed rest API in node JS and using axios and promise I am calling that API from my react applications so I think in that way you can connect both of the applications.
in most of the applications I have seen that node JS is used for security purposes in the following purposes and then node JS is connected to a microservice it is just kind of adding another layer over your application.
I prefer lead can tell you that you can go through the udemy courses of react JS and it will show you how you can create a rest API on the node JS.
React for UI
Nodejs: api gateway or backend. You wish
Java : microservices, rest apis
Can you tell me more about the relationship between the two? I want to (for example) write a little tool which plays audio files on my raspberry pi. Would I then do the player and the players interface completely in React, and then just connect to node in order to get the actual files?
Or, more generally but the same thing, if I would want to write an application that does certain things (writes files, records audio, changes system settings etc.) that would all be done in nodejs, but if I want to have an interface I would use something like React?
I am a bit confused, but I hope this question is valid!
Node and React can be used together.
There is even the MERN stack that helps with that:
MERN is a scaffolding tool which makes it easy to build universal apps using Mongo, Express, React and NodeJS. It minimises the setup time and gets you up to speed using proven technologies.
See: http://mernjs.org/
But you can use React with any other Node framework, not only with Express. React can work with any REST API so whatever you use to build a REST API can be consumed by the frontend written in React.
Some other options include: Hapi, Restify, LoopBack. For more see:

from the official React Documentation React is "a JavaScript library for build user interfaces". In very watered down terms (and I mean watered down) React could be thought of as a templating library (please don't shoot me for that).
What I've learned about React is it is more like the "V"iew in MVC. It provides you a way to present the user interface using JavaScript and JSX. With the little I know about from various tutorials, I really like working with React.
Yes, this two thinks can work together, I am currently working at such project. I will point out main think here. That is where you put your routing. Does it goes to Node.js server or to React Router. This is important because it defines where you application logic should be.
ReactTS is a scaffolding engine for React on ASP.NET Core. Very powerful, and very fast - will generate your entire application with a single button click. You can also customize the templates. Check it out here... http://bssdev.biz/DevTools/React-Turbo-Scaffolding-Free-Download
I am currently using ReactJs for one of my project. Since we all thing in terms of components when it comes to ReactJs, how do we approach having SVGs/fallbacks in React application?
Do we build component for each SVG? or is there a different way you React users build them? I just want to approaching it with the best practise!
I would be really happy if someone helps :)
Have a look at the material-ui library's approach to SVG support. They have a SvgIcon component which you should be able to reuse. Their approach is having the common implementation separated out in the SvgIcon component and then having individual component wrappers for each unique SVG icon.
