In this article, I am going to show you that How to Create Bar Chart Race in JavaScript very easily. You must watch many bar chart data visualization videos in this tutorial you can make data visualization with bar chart race. I have found this code snippet on codepen.io by Carlos and chart created by amCharts Library.
What if you show this type of chart as your companies sales reports and profits your boss might love it, just kidding 🙂
amCharts Libraries needs to be included:
