<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
    <head>
        <title>AG Charts Quick Start</title>
        <!-- Charts Core Library -->
        <script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/ag-charts-community/dist/umd/ag-charts-community.js"></script>

Create a new index.js file, in the same directory, with the following code:

// Chart Options
const options = {
    // Container: HTML Element to hold the chart
    container: document.getElementById('myChart'),
    // Data: Data to be displayed in the chart
    data: [
        { month: 'Jan', avgTemp: 2.3, iceCreamSales: 162000 },
        { month: 'Mar', avgTemp: 6.3, iceCreamSales: 302000 },
        { month: 'May', avgTemp: 16.2, iceCreamSales: 800000 },

        { month: 'Nov', avgTemp: 8.9, iceCreamSales: 200000 },
    ],
    // Series: Defines which chart type and data to use
    series: [{ type: 'bar', xKey: 'month', yKey: 'iceCreamSales' }],
};
