## What it is
React wrapper components for Chart.js providing line, bar, radar, polar area, pie, and doughnut charts. It is a CommonJS library that renders Chart.js charts onto canvas elements within React components.

## Use cases
- render charts in react apps
- add line and bar charts to a react dashboard
- wrap chart.js in react components
- draw pie and doughnut charts with react
- animate chart updates when data changes

## When to choose
- you are on a legacy React project already using Chart.js v1
- you need simple canvas-based charts with minimal setup

## When to avoid
- starting a new project - it is unmaintained and pinned to Chart.js v1
- you need modern React or Chart.js versions - use react-chartjs-2 instead
