Evidence provides a rich set of components for building interactive data applications. These components are designed to work seamlessly with SQL queries and make it easy to create professional dashboards and reports.

​
Component Categories

Evidence components are organized into the following categories:

Charts

Visualize your data with bar charts, line charts, area charts, scatter plots, and more

Tables

Display and explore data with interactive tables, column formatting, and aggregations

Text & Layout

Format your pages with big values, metrics, grids, tabs, and accordions

Inputs

Add interactivity with dropdowns, date pickers, text inputs, and buttons

​
Quick Start

All Evidence components follow a similar pattern:
  1. Query your data using SQL code blocks
  2. Pass data to components using the data prop
  3. Configure components with props like x, y, title, etc.

​
Basic Example

```sql orders_by_month
SELECT 
  DATE_TRUNC('month', order_date) as month,
  SUM(revenue) as total_revenue
FROM orders
GROUP BY 1
ORDER BY 1


## Component Props

Most Evidence components accept common props:

- `data` - The query result to visualize
- `title` - Component title
- `subtitle` - Component subtitle

### Chart-specific Props

- `x` - Column name for x-axis
- `y` - Column name for y-axis
- `series` - Column name for series grouping
- `xAxisTitle` / `yAxisTitle` - Axis labels
- `legend` - Show/hide legend

### Styling Props

- `colorPalette` - Color scheme for charts
- `fillColor` / `fillOpacity` - Fill styling
- `chartAreaHeight` - Chart height in pixels

## Data Formatting

Evidence automatically formats data based on column names and types. You can also use the `fmt` prop:

- `fmt=usd` - Currency formatting
- `fmt=pct` - Percentage formatting
- `fmt=num0` - Number with 0 decimal places

See the individual component pages for detailed documentation on each component type.

## Custom Components

Need something beyond the built-in components? Evidence supports custom Svelte components. See [Custom Components](/components/custom-components) for details.

## Interactive Features

Many components support interactive features:

- **Click events** - Respond to user interactions
- **Filtering** - Connect inputs to filter data
- **Connected charts** - Synchronize across visualizations
- **Downloadable data** - Export charts and tables
