Feature Request: Wider Selection of Native Charts

Widgets & Design

Hi there,

I am new to FlutterFlow - have been learning the platform for 2 weeks now. I am a novice with zero experience in coding/programming.

As FlutterFlow only offer a limited selection of charts, I have spent the past 4 days trying to make a custom 'radar chart' within my app, as there is no native radar chart in the FlutterFlow editor.

I chose the 'fl_chart' on pub.dev and tried to make this work with custom code. The radar chart displays on my app with some edits I have made at the most basic level, however in trying to customise the chart's responsiveness (hover, animation, clickable, etc) I have wasted countless hours consulting the chart's pub.dev documents to implement various properties within the custom code with ChatGPT's help. No progress. This has not been an easy endeavour for me.

It seems that my best option is to concede the vision I had for this widget and instead settle on a 'line chart' natively supported in FlutterFlow.

As a newcomer this initial experience has been discouraging and exhausting.
I have no coding/programming friends, so I sincerely hope this feedback is implemented by the FF team to expand their selection of native charts.
I've seen a few other comments on Youtube mentioning that a wider variety of 'Charts' is one of the areas that FlutterFlow could improve in.

Kind Regards,
Ryan.

What have you tried so far?

Followed the instructions in the fl_chart's pub.dev readme.
Hours of back-and-forth with ChatGPT-4 trying to amend code.
Watched various Youtube tutorials (FF University, James NoCode, NoCode Academy, etc).

Did you check FlutterFlow's Documentation for this topic?
Yes
