Claude Code cbcfd9599f docs: cut 6.1.0 versions for docs, admin_docs, developer_docs, components
Snapshots all four versioned Docusaurus sections at v6.1.0. Built on
top of the version-cutting tooling work in chore/docs-cut-6.1.0-versions
so the snapshot benefits from:

- Auto-gen refresh before snapshotting (database pages from engine
  spec metadata, API reference from openapi.json, component pages
  from Storybook stories) — captured at the SHA we cut from rather
  than whatever happened to be on disk.
- Data-import freeze: country list, feature flag table, database
  diagnostics, and component metadata are copied into snapshot-local
  `_versioned_data/` dirs so the historical version doesn't silently
  mutate when the source files change.
- Depth-aware import-path rewriter that handles deeply-nested
  component MDX files referencing `../../../src/` from the snapshot.

Versioning behavior: `lastVersion` stays at `current` for every
section, so the canonical URLs (`/docs/...`, `/admin-docs/...`,
`/developer-docs/...`, `/components/...`) continue to render content
from master. The `current` version is consistently labeled "Next"
with an `unreleased` banner, and `6.1.0` is a historical pin
accessible only via its explicit version segment.

Component playground: previously `disabled: true` in versions-config.json,
now enabled and versioned. The plugin block in docusaurus.config.ts
was already gated only by the `disabled` flag, so no other code
changes were needed to bring it back online.

The frozen `databases.json` in the snapshot is the canonical 80-database
artifact from the latest committed state in master (preserved by the
generator's input-hash cache), not a fallback regenerated from a
local Flask environment.

Bar Chart Component

The Bar Chart component is used to visualize categorical data with rectangular bars.

Props

Prop Type Default Description
data array [] Array of data objects to visualize
width number 800 Width of the chart in pixels
height number 600 Height of the chart in pixels
xField string - Field name for x-axis values
yField string - Field name for y-axis values
colorField string - Field name for color encoding
colorScheme string 'supersetColors' Color scheme to use
showLegend boolean true Whether to show the legend
showGrid boolean true Whether to show grid lines
labelPosition string 'top' Position of bar labels: 'top', 'middle', 'bottom'

Examples

Basic Bar Chart

import { BarChart } from '@superset-ui/chart-components';

const data = [
  { category: 'A', value: 10 },
  { category: 'B', value: 20 },
  { category: 'C', value: 15 },
  { category: 'D', value: 25 },
];

function Example() {
  return (
    <BarChart
      data={data}
      width={800}
      height={400}
      xField="category"
      yField="value"
      colorScheme="supersetColors"
    />
  );
}

Grouped Bar Chart

import { BarChart } from '@superset-ui/chart-components';

const data = [
  { category: 'A', group: 'Group 1', value: 10 },
  { category: 'A', group: 'Group 2', value: 15 },
  { category: 'B', group: 'Group 1', value: 20 },
  { category: 'B', group: 'Group 2', value: 25 },
  { category: 'C', group: 'Group 1', value: 15 },
  { category: 'C', group: 'Group 2', value: 10 },
];

function Example() {
  return (
    <BarChart
      data={data}
      width={800}
      height={400}
      xField="category"
      yField="value"
      colorField="group"
      colorScheme="supersetColors"
    />
  );
}

Best Practices

  • Use bar charts when comparing quantities across categories
  • Sort bars by value for better readability, unless there's a natural order to the categories
  • Use consistent colors for the same categories across different charts
  • Consider using horizontal bar charts when category labels are long
