Learn more by reading the tutorial and seeing demonstrations of what dygraphs can do in the gallery. You can get dygraph.js and dygraph.css from UNPKG, cdnjs or from NPM (see below).

Usage with a module loader

Get dygraphs from NPM:

npm install dygraphs

Do not install from the git repository! Always use a tarball install, which contains the prebuilt files; npm fails to build the source code on install from github. (The tarball from the GitHub Registry is fine.)

You'll find pre-built JS & CSS files in node_modules/dygraphs/dist/. If you're using a module bundler like browserify or webpack, you can import dygraphs:

import Dygraph from 'dygraphs';
// or: const Dygraph = require('dygraphs');

const g = new Dygraph('graphdiv', data, { /* options */ });

Check out the dygraphs-es6 repo for a fully-worked example.

Development

To get going, install the following Debian packages…

jq
mksh
pax
python3

… clone the repo and run:

npm install
npm run build-jsonly

Then open tests/demo.html in your browser.
