# Components
## Graphs
We have a lot of graphing libraries in our codebase to render graphs. In an effort to improve maintainability, new graphs should use [D3.js](https://d3js.org/). If a new graph is fairly simple, consider implementing it in SVGs or HTML5 canvas.
We chose D3 as our library going forward because of the following features:
- [Tree shaking webpack capabilities](https://github.com/d3/d3/blob/master/CHANGES.md#changes-in-d3-40).
- [Compatible with vue.js as well as vanilla javascript](https://github.com/d3/d3/blob/master/CHANGES.md#changes-in-d3-40).
D3 is very popular across many projects outside of GitLab:
- [The New York Times](https://archive.nytimes.com/www.nytimes.com/interactive/2012/02/13/us/politics/2013-budget-proposal-graphic.html)
- [plot.ly](https://plot.ly/)
- [Droptask](https://www.droptask.com/)
Within GitLab, D3 has been used for the following notable features
- [Prometheus graphs](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/integrations/prometheus.html)
- Contribution calendars
