Measured entry
8bitcn-chart-bar
A client-side grouped bar chart shipped as a shadcn registry block with its own chart container and tooltip helpers. It renders hardcoded desktop and mobile series through Recharts, uses Tailwind utility classes and a cn helper, and expects theme color variables for the series and surrounding UI.

What the harness recorded
BARE BUILD
✗ Build failed in 1.39s error during build: [vite]: Rollup failed to resolve import "recharts" from "<sandbox>re-be43d62d6707/src/cut/components/ui/8bit/blocks/chart-bar.tsx".
Verdict
A dependable starting point for desktop and tablet dashboards: it builds, mounts, and renders cleanly with a useful tooltip. Adopt it if Recharts is already acceptable, but budget time to expose data as props and fix the narrow-screen overflow before shipping it responsively.
Use it if
- You need a compact grouped comparison chart and are comfortable replacing the included sample data.
- Your app already uses Tailwind utilities, theme tokens, and path aliases compatible with the included chart helper.
- You want a tooltip-driven chart with no provider setup or animation requirement.
Skip it if
- The chart must fit narrow mobile layouts without additional responsive work, because the verified rendering overflows there.
- You need a visible legend, title, or persistent value labels out of the box.
- Adding Recharts is too much dependency weight for a single simple chart.
- You want a reusable data-driven component rather than editing hardcoded series and labels in the source.
Install
| Declared dependencies | recharts@3.8.0, lucide-react, clsx, tailwind-merge |
|---|---|
| Missing on install | none |
| Bare install | fails once the shadcn-style helpers are removed, so it needs that setup |
| Provider | no provider required in the harness |
In a non-shadcn project, add Recharts, lucide-react, clsx, and tailwind-merge; copy both the block and chart helper; provide the cn utility or replace it; configure the import alias; and define the Tailwind theme tokens and chart color variables used by the classes.
