This packages makes it easy to build pretty svg charts you can include in a Lustre app, or render to serve as static documents! Here's an example of a chart built with gerbil:

Jan 2026Apr 2026Jul 2026Oct 202605101520

This is the code you need to build it:

import gleam/option.{None, Some}
import gleam/time/calendar.{April, Date, January, July, March, November, October}
import lustre/element

import gerbil/axis
import gerbil/plot

pub fn chart() -> String {
  let sightings = [
    chart.point(Date(2026, January, 10), 5, []),
    chart.point(Date(2026, March, 12), 15, []),
    chart.point(Date(2026, July, 11), 20, []),
    chart.point(Date(2026, October, 10), 10, []),
    chart.point(Date(2026, November, 10), 3, []),
  ]

  let date =
    axis.date()
    |> axis.min(Date(2026, January, 1))

  let gerbil_sightings = axis.int()

  chart.new(x: date, y: gerbil_sightings)
  |> chart.add(chart.line([], sightings))
  |> chart.add(chart.points([], sightings))
  |> chart.add(chart.vertical_band(None, Some(Date(2026, April, 1)), []))
  |> chart.to_svg
  |> element.to_string
}
