Creating Dynamic Charts in Flask with C3.js

I arrived at a point where I needed some type of dynamic charts in my flask project. I had to make a choice between c3 and chartist and obviously I settled for C3.js due to it’s simplicity and examples in its documentation, which made it simple to implement with python.

Go to the C3 website or github to get started and once you have all the files in place add the paths to index.html page:

inside your HTML, body tag add the following

inside the script tags or JS file add the following

The above creates a timeseries chart based on the columns and uses the date column as the label or X-axis of the chart

Lets create our CSV file

We then create a route in our app.py file that provides the csv file, this csv can be populated dynamically with records from the database or any other source

The final chart
