Charts with swift


I'm new in iOS development and want to create an app with some charts. I decided to start development with swift because it seemed to be more easy to learn for me as Java developer. But meanwhile I think using objective-c would have been the better choice because AFAIK there is no chart library available that match my criteria:

Common chart libraries like JBChartView, Core-Plot and iOSPlot do not fulfill my criteria so I'm thinking about either to use a JavaScript chart library in a WebView or switching completely to objective-c

Is it good practice to use a JavaScript chart API in a WebView? If so, may this make problems on different devices with different screen sizes and orientations? What are common pitfalls with this approach?

Edit: Core-Plot release-2.0 works well with Swift


Solution

  • As noted in the comments on the linked Core Plot issue, you can use Core Plot in Swift as long as you use the code from the release-2.0 branch. The changes on that branch resolve the issues with NSDecimal that 1.x versions of Core Plot have.
