Measured entry

8bitcn-chart-area-step

chartskeuomorphism

A client-side stepped area chart shipped as a shadcn registry block, with its own chart container and tooltip helpers plus a retro stylesheet. It renders through Recharts and also relies on Lucide, a cn utility backed by clsx and tailwind-merge, Tailwind classes, path aliases, and chart theme tokens.

What the harness recorded

BARE BUILD

✗ Build failed in 1.35s
error during build:
[vite]: Rollup failed to resolve import "recharts" from "<sandbox>re-e2a7c94dc6aa/src/cut/components/ui/8bit/blocks/chart-area-step.tsx".

Verdict

A solid starting point for a stepped trend chart in a Recharts-based interface. It builds and mounts cleanly and has no detected accessibility violations, but it overflows on a narrow viewport and ships static sample data, so mobile sizing and real data integration remain your work.

Use it if

  • You need a compact stepped area chart for monthly or other discrete trend data.
  • Your app already uses Recharts and can reuse the included chart helper layer.
  • You want a chart that mounts without a provider and passed the automated accessibility scan.

Skip it if

  • The chart must fit narrow phone layouts without additional responsive work.
  • You want to avoid adding a comparatively heavy charting dependency for one simple visualization.
  • You need multiple series, legends, live data wiring, or richer interaction out of the box.

Providerno provider required in the harness

In a non-shadcn project, add Recharts, Lucide React, clsx, and tailwind-merge; copy the chart helper and cn utility; configure the import alias or replace it with relative paths; provide the referenced chart color tokens; and ensure Tailwind processes the helper classes. Add the retro stylesheet and its external font import only if you want that typography elsewhere.
