AreaChart fills the region between a line and the axis, emphasizing the magnitude of values over time. It supports stacking, which makes it easy to show how parts contribute to a whole. See [Charts](/components/charts) for the shared data, series, and formatting model.

## Stacked

Stacking shows how each series contributes to the total. The topmost line represents the combined value.

## Minimal

Set `show_grid=False` to drop the background gridlines. Without them the filled area reads as a single glanceable shape — a good fit for compact trend cards where the silhouette matters more than reading exact values off an axis.

## Smooth

Set `curve="smooth"` for gently curved lines between data points. The filled area follows the curve.

## Step

Set `curve="step"` to connect points with step-shaped lines. The filled area follows the stepped edges.

## Value Formatting

Use `value_format` to format numeric values on the value axis and in tooltips. It accepts the same pipe strings as Prefab expressions and data table columns, including `currency`, `currency:EUR`, `percent:1`, and `compact:0`.

    Data as a list of dicts, or a `{{ field }}` interpolation reference.
  </ParamField>

  <ParamField body="series" type="list[ChartSeries]" required>
    Series definitions — each becomes a filled area on the chart.
  </ParamField>

  <ParamField body="x_axis" type="str | None" default="None">
    Data key for x-axis labels.
  </ParamField>

    Stack areas on top of each other.
  </ParamField>

  <ParamField body="curve" type="Literal[&#x22;linear&#x22;, &#x22;smooth&#x22;, &#x22;step&#x22;]" default="&#x22;linear&#x22;">
    Interpolation curve between data points.
  </ParamField>

    Show horizontal grid lines.
  </ParamField>

  <ParamField body="show_y_axis" type="bool" default="True">
    Show the y-axis with its tick labels. Set to `False` for a compact, axis-free reading where the shape matters more than exact values.
  </ParamField>

  <ParamField body="value_format" type="str" default="&#x22;auto&#x22;">
    Format value-axis ticks and tooltip values with an expression pipe such as `currency`, `currency:EUR`, `percent:1`, or `compact:0`.
  </ParamField>

  <ParamField body="css_class" type="str | None" default="None">
    Additional Tailwind CSS classes.
  </ParamField>
</Card>

<Card icon="code" title="ChartSeries Parameters">
  <ParamField body="data_key" type="str" required>
    Data field to plot — must match a key in the data dicts.
