Paths.js is a JavaScript library that generates SVG path strings for geometric shapes and simple charts (pie, line, radar) from raw data via a functional, chainable API. It only computes the geometry, leaving rendering to any framework, template engine, or even Canvas and server-side Node.

Use cases

• generate svg paths for pie charts from data
• draw line charts with custom react components
• create radar charts in svg
• build custom chart library on top of svg geometry
• render charts server-side in node
• compute polygon and circle sector paths
• use chart geometry with canvas api

When to choose

• you need full control over rendering, styling, and animation of charts
• you use React, Ractive, or another data-binding library and want chart primitives
• you need chart geometry server-side or with Canvas instead of DOM rendering

When to avoid

• you want a batteries-included chart library with axes, tooltips, and legends out of the box
• you need canvas or webgl rendering handled for you
• you need actively maintained code with recent releases
