How We Created the Giraffe Libraries for Time Series Data
summary
Giraffe is an open source React charting library that powers InfluxDB 2.0 visualizations and is Fluxlang-supported. It consumes annotated CSV format (headers like #group #dataset #default) and exposes a Plot + config + layers model, querying via the JS client with url token org id and bucket. It handles high-volume time series with downsampling algorithms, has 30 to 40 storybook examples, lacks server-side rendering, and includes some nonproduction features and upcoming charts.
