Where to Find Dygraphs Documentation and Community Support

Updated

The official Dygraphs site is https://dygraphs.com/, and that is where you should start for documentation, downloads, and community links. If you arrived through a mirror or a packaged copy (for example, a Debian package), the site itself warns that the information may be outdated, incomplete, or locally patched, and that links may not work — so use the official homepage instead.

Documentation

Dygraphs keeps its reference material in a few distinct sections, each aimed at a different task:

Resource What it covers
Tutorial Getting started and basic usage
Options Reference Configuration options for charts
API Reference Programmatic methods and behavior
CSS Reference Styling the chart
Data Format How input data should be structured
Annotations Adding annotations to charts
Version History Changes across releases
Notes on Internet Explorer Browser-specific guidance

If you are new to the library, the Tutorial is the intended entry point. Once you have a chart working, the Options and API references are where you look up specific behavior.

Download and Installation

You can download Dygraphs directly from the site. If you use npm with a bundler such as webpack, browserify, or rollup, install it with:

npm install --save dygraphs

Then import it:

import Dygraph from 'dygraphs';
// or:
const Dygraph = require('dygraphs');

const g = new Dygraph(div, data, {});

The site also points to an ES6 sample project for more detail on this approach. For quick experimentation without installing anything, you can try Dygraphs on jsFiddle.

Community Support

When the documentation does not answer your question, the project lists these channels:

  • Stack Overflow — for asking questions
  • Mailing List — for discussion
  • Blog — project news and posts

The site describes an active community developing and supporting Dygraphs, so these are the intended places to get help.

Source Code and Bug Reports

Development happens on GitHub:

  • Source (GitHub) — the codebase
  • Issue Tracker — known issues
  • Report a Bug — how to file a new one

Other Pages Worth Knowing

The site also links to an Examples / Demo Gallery for inspiration, a List of Users, Test Cases, and a Contributors Guide if you want to contribute. Policy and licensing information is available as well.

One practical note: because mirrors and packaged versions can drift from the official source, treat https://dygraphs.com/ as the authoritative reference whenever a link or detail looks wrong.
