Route line
One route, stop by stop, done and to come.
Definition · Updated Nov 2, 2026
A route line draws a vehicle's stops as stations on a line with their times, the done part in one style and the planned part in another. You see where it is now and what is left. Use it for delivery routes, field visits and bus lines.
Pay once. Every update included.

hello@usechartory.comDelivered and planned, named in the legend; the NOW stop marks where the van is.
Each stop's time (Alder St 07:52): actual for delivered stops, planned for the rest.
One data object in the sample’s shape: stops in order with a time each. The docs page lists every field and links its JSON Schema; the sample data comes with the component, so you can start from it and swap in your own.
Series take the preset’s data colours in order, and states such as up, down or warning take its status colours. Change the preset in Figma or in code to recolour every chart at once.
XS, S, M and L, in light and dark. Each size is laid out again from the data, so text and lines keep their size.
Yes. It plays in when it scrolls into view, and when the data changes every mark moves from its old place to its new one. With reduced motion on, it does not move.
Yes. The React component is free in the public registry in Hearth, no token needed; Signal comes with Code and Complete. The Figma component comes with Figma and Complete.
Ask for it by name. The MCP server tells the agent what data it needs and runs the same command: npx shadcn add @chartory/route-line. You review the diff.
