Adding charts to a Flask webapp [closed]
I created a web app with Flask where I'll be showing data, so I need charts for it.
The problem is that I don't really know how to do that, so I'm trying to find the best way to do that. I tried to use a Javascript charting library on my frontend and send the data to the chart using SocketIO, but the problem is that I need to send that data frequently and at a certain point I'll be having a lot of data, so sending each time a huge load of data through AJAX/SocketIO would not be the best thing to do.
To solve this, I had this idea: could I generate the chart from my backend, instead of sending data to the frontend? I think it would be the better thing to do, since I won't have to send the data to the frontend each time and there won't be a need to generate a ton of data each time the page is loaded, since the chart will be processed on the frontend.
So would it be possible to generate a chart from my Flask code in Python and visualize it on my webpage? Is there a good library do that?

Have a look at Bokeh or Plotly packages, both support graph and charts.

Yes, plotly does but it's hard to use it on Python, since the library had been built for Javascript
