How to format the date time axis labels in React Chart?

This article explains how to format the date time axis labels in the React Chart.

Customize the format for date time axis labels

You can easily format and parse dates using the labelFormat property in an axis. Some common date time formats include EEEE, yMd, MMM, hm, and hms.

In the following code example, the date time axis labels are formatted to display the date in day format.

Index.js

import { createRoot } from 'react-dom/client';
import * as React from 'react';
import { ChartComponent, SeriesCollectionDirective, SeriesDirective, Inject, LineSeries, DateTime
    } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-charts';

const Line = () => {
 return (
       <ChartComponent
         id="charts"
         primaryXAxis={{
           valueType: 'DateTime',
           minimum: new Date(2014, 4, 11),
           maximum: new Date(2023, 9, 11),
           labelFormat: 'EEEE'
         }}
         primaryYAxis={{
           minimum: 0,
           maximum: 20,
           interval: 4
         }}
       >
         <Inject services={[LineSeries, DateTime]} />
         <SeriesCollectionDirective>
           <SeriesDirective
             dataSource={data}
             xName="x"
             yName="y"
             type="Line"
           ></SeriesDirective>
         </SeriesCollectionDirective>
       </ChartComponent>
   );
};
export default Line;

const root = createRoot(document.getElementById('sample'));
root.render(<Line />);
