Get Started With Ruby On Rails With FusionCharts

Create Line, Area, Pie, Bar, Column, Gantt and over 150 charts for your web application using the Ruby on Rails gem for FusionCharts. Unlike other charting libraries that only allow creation of static images with low resolution, our charts are completely interactive and responsive on all screen sizes. Moreover, the gem works with Ruby Hashes allowing you to let go of JSON data or JavaScript objects. Simply write your implementation in Ruby, fetch data from your MySQL server and directly create charts which are responsive, interactive, and support zooming, panning, APIs, animation, drill-downs, real-time updates, and full exporting of charts & dashboards, all in your own server!

Our Ruby on Rails gem comes with event support for mouse, keyboard, and more, enabling you to add charts in runtime during any lifecycle phase of the application. All our charts are mobile first by default, and responsive across all devices. Further, all charts & graphs are tested and built for millions of data points, without any performance issues.

How To Get Started With Ruby on Rail Gem

  1. To begin, make sure you have Ruby and Rails installed on your system.
  2. Use the rails new command to generate a new Rails application where you'll develop your gem.
  3. Establish a lib directory within the newly created Rails app to house your gem's code. Then, develop the functionality of your gem within this directory.
  4. Craft a .gemspec file to define essential metadata for your gem, such as its name, version, and dependencies.
  5. Utilize the gem build command to construct your gem, incorporating the defined specifications.
  6. Test the functionality of your gem by installing it locally on your system using gem install.
  7. Write thorough tests for your gem's functionality using RSpec or MiniTest to ensure its reliability and effectiveness.
  8. Once your gem has passed testing, share it with the broader community by publishing it on RubyGems.org.
  9. Other developers can now easily integrate your gem into their projects by adding it to their Gemfile and running bundle install.
