The Chart extension is a project to replace the Graph extension. Its development has not begun yet. See Extension:Chart/Project for more details on the development process.

• Download and move the extracted Chart folder to your extensions/ directory.
  Developers and code contributors should install the extension from Git instead, using:cd extensions/
git clone https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/mediawiki/extensions/Chart
• Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php file:

  wfLoadExtension( 'Chart' );
  

• Run npm install
• Run npm run build
•  Done – Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.

Currently, the extension is in development and limited in its capabilities and can only render a specific chart!

Firstly, make sure your wiki is setup to support Help:Tabular Data. Instructions are provided in the README.

Charts requires access to the `node` command. If this has not been setup you will need to modify the $PATH of your server.

MAMP: For MAMP users, this may mean modifying /Applications/MAMP/Library/bin/envvars

Examples can be found in the sample folder in the git repository.

The following graph uses the pages Data:1993 Canadian federal election.chart and Data:1993 Canadian federal election.tab. Make sure those pages exist!

{{#chart:|format=1993 Canadian federal election.chart|data=1993 Canadian federal election.tab}}
