# Likert

> Agree and disagree, statement by statement. Sample data: five statements, easy to set up 12% disagree and 74% agree.

- Type 063 · Distribution
- Component: `<Likert>`, the same name as the Figma component
- Install: `npx shadcn add @chartory/likert` (free in Hearth: the public registry, no token; Signal with Code and Complete)
- Type page: https://usechartory.com/charts/likert

## Installation

1. **Set up the registry once.** This chart is free in Hearth and MIT licensed: no token. Add @chartory to components.json once (the URL alone, no headers), or skip this when another chart is already installed. [Installation guide](https://usechartory.com/docs/installation)

2. **Add the chart.** One command adds the Likert component to your project.

```bash
npx shadcn add @chartory/likert
```

3. **Use it.** Pass your rows. The props are the Figma properties.

usage.tsx:

```tsx
import { Likert }
  from "@/components/chartory/likert"

<Likert
  data={surveyAnswers}
  size="m"
  legend
/>
```

## Props

### `<Likert>`

Every prop but data is a Figma property with the same name and values.

| data | LikertData | Required | The chart's data. The tables below list every field. |
| size | "xs" \| "s" \| "m" \| "l" | "m" | The size class. Each one is laid out again from the data. |
| legend | boolean | true | Shows the legend row under the plot. |

| Prop | Type | Default | Note |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |

## Likert chart: a React and Figma chart in four sizes

### What does a likert chart show?

A Likert chart shows survey answers per statement as one bar split into five answer levels, from strongly disagree to strongly agree, so the balance of opinion reads across many statements. Use it for customer surveys, NPS follow-ups and employee surveys.

Chartory ships it as a Figma component and a React component with the same name. The code installs from the shadcn registry with one command and lands in your project as a file you own.

### What is the Likert component?

It is one **<Likert>** component. Its props are the Figma properties with the same names and values, and the props table above lists them. The data is five shares per statement, from strongly disagree to strongly agree.

Sizes **XS**, **S**, **M** and **L** re-lay the chart out from the data instead of scaling it, so labels stay readable at every size.

### When should I use it?

- **Are answers on a scale?** Yes means the likert fits.
- **Are there several statements?** Yes means the likert fits.
- **Is the balance the point?** Yes means the likert fits.

### When does another type fit better?

- **Yes or no answers.** Use Stacked bars instead.
- **One rating with stars.** Use Star ratings instead.
- **Two shares per item.** Use Dumbbell instead.

## Likert questions

### Does the Likert chart work with shadcn/ui?

Yes. It installs through the shadcn registry with the shadcn CLI, and the file lands in your project.

### How do I install it?

It is free in Hearth and MIT licensed: add the @chartory registry URL once, no token, then run npx shadcn add @chartory/likert. The Installation guide has the steps.

### Can my coding agent install it?

Yes. Connect the Chartory MCP server and ask for the likert chart; the agent runs the same command and you review the diff.

### What data does it expect?

Five shares per statement, from strongly disagree to strongly agree. The sample data comes with the component, and the props table lists every field.

### Which sizes does it ship in?

XS, S, M and L, in Figma and in code. Each size is laid out again from the data, so text and lines keep their size.

### Is it in the Figma file too?

Yes. chart/063-likert-survey has the same properties as the component.

### Does it follow light and dark mode?

Yes. Every paint is a token, so the chart follows light and dark mode and the collection you pick.

### Which plan has the code?

None for Hearth: it is free in the public registry, no token. The Signal collection (@chartory/signal) comes with Code and Complete.
