fix: stop rendering the text undefined in Bar, RadialBar and Brush attributes by charan-rathore · Pull Request #7914 · recharts/recharts

charan-rathore · 2026-10-05T20:35:38Z

Description

Three places write the text undefined into the DOM:

Bar: every bar rectangle gets name="undefined" when the name prop is not set, because the name is passed through String().
RadialBar: sectors get the class recharts-radial-bar-sector undefined (and the background sectors get undefined too when no className is given), because a missing className is put into a template string.
Brush: the travellers get aria-label="Min value: undefined, Max value: undefined" when the data has no name field, which is the usual case when the brush uses a dataKey. Screen readers read this out.

The fix leaves out the attribute or class when there is no value. For Brush, the label now uses the dataKey value of the first and last item when the item has no name, and is left out when neither exists.

Related Issue

Fixes #7913

Motivation and Context

Stray undefined text in class names, attributes and screen reader labels is noise for users and for CSS or test selectors. The fix is small and does not change output when a name or class is given.

How Has This Been Tested?

New spec test/util/noUndefinedInDom.spec.tsx renders each case and checks that no attribute contains undefined, and checks the Brush label text. All 4 tests fail without the change. Full unit:lib run: 335 files, 6738 tests pass. tsc for lib and tests, eslint and prettier are clean. I did not run the visual regression tests.

Summary by CodeRabbit

Accessibility
- Brush traveller labels use a data item’s name when available, or its value for the provided data key. Explicit accessibility labels take precedence; generated labels are omitted when endpoint labels are unavailable.
Bug Fixes
- Prevented missing names from appearing as the literal text “null” or “undefined” in chart attributes and background class names.
Tests
- Added checks for chart rendering and Brush labels when data has no name.

Walkthrough

Bar and RadialBar no longer stringify nullish values into DOM attributes or classes. Brush traveller labels use item names or keyed values and are omitted if either endpoint has no label. Tests cover these cases.

Changes

DOM output and Brush labels

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Bar and RadialBar DOM values `src/cartesian/Bar.tsx`, `src/polar/RadialBar.tsx`, `test/util/noUndefinedInDom.spec.tsx`	Bar preserves nullish names as undefined. RadialBar uses `clsx` to compose sector classes and omits nullish background class names. Tests check the rendered elements and attributes.
Brush traveller labels `src/cartesian/Brush.tsx`, `test/util/noUndefinedInDom.spec.tsx`	Generated labels use item names or fall back to the `dataKey` value. Brush omits a generated label if either endpoint has no label. Tests cover keyed and missing-key cases.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~12 minutes

Review details

Systems and components

observed — src (service) was modified; 3 changed files map to changed impact.
observed — test (service) was modified; 1 changed file maps to changed impact.

Before / after behavior

observed — Modified behavior in src/cartesian/Bar.tsx: BarRectangleWithActiveState now preserves a nullish baseProps.name as undefined instead of converting it to the string "null" or "undefined"; non-nullish names are still stringified.
observed — Modified behavior in src/cartesian/Bar.tsx: BarRectangleNeverActive applies the same nullish-name handling: nullish values become undefined, while other values are stringified.
observed — Modified behavior in src/cartesian/Brush.tsx: getAriaLabel now accepts an optional dataKey and resolves each endpoint label from its item’s name, falling back to the keyed value. It returns no generated label if either endpoint cannot be resolved; previously it used only item names.
observed — Modified behavior in src/cartesian/Brush.tsx: TravellerLayer now reads dataKey from its props for use in generated accessibility labels.

Strengthen the Brush missing-label test.

The test only checks that no attribute contains undefined. It does not check that the traveller aria-label is absent. The test also passes if the label is rendered with other text. Add an assertion that aria-label is null on .recharts-brush-traveller elements.

Good catch, done: the "Brush leaves out the traveller label when it has no name to show" test now also asserts every .recharts-brush-traveller has a null aria-label, not just that no attribute contains undefined. Spec rerun: 4/4 pass.
