First steps

These steps are appropriate for plain JavaScript. Different approaches may be needed when using a framework.

First, include the library.

<script src="./standard-charts_v0.1.4.js"></script>

Then call the API and include the generated .svg.

<img id="chart" />

<script>
  const chart = StandardCharts({
    chartType: 'COLUMN',
    height: 100,
    data: [
      { key: '20', AC: 29 },
      { key: '21', AC: 31 },
      { key: '22', AC: 32 },
    ],
  });

  const image = document.getElementById('chart');
  image.setAttribute('src', `data:image/svg+xml;utf8,${chart}`);
</script>

Now this trivial column chart should appear:
