Drupal - Creating Interactive Charts

Have a look at the Easychart module, which has an official release for Drupal 8 (also for Drupal 7).

It is a graphical user interface, using the Highcharts javascript library as its charting engine (which may require a commercial license though). It claims to support every Highcharts chart-type and option.

Some more details about this module:

  • It defines a new content type (= Chart) used to add charts to your site.
  • It creates a chart widget that can be used in your own content types.
  • It integrates with the WYSIWYG module and provides an editor button to add charts to your WYSIWYG content (CKeditor and TinyMCE are supported).
  • It provides an intuitive interface to configure charts through the Easychart plugin.
  • It supports pasting of CSV data to create charts from it.
  • overheid.vlaanderen.be contains some real world examples of a Drupal website (not yet D8 though) with some charts created with Easycharts (ignore the text on that page if you're not familiar with this language, just concentrate on the charts).
