<div style={{paddingBottom:'24px'}}>
Currently, the chart component does not support events. However, you can use the Custom Component to create a chart using a third-party library that supports events. Plotly is one of the libraries that supports events. In this tutorial, we will build a chart using Plotly and add events to it.
<div style={{textAlign: 'center'}}>
<img style={{ marginBottom:'15px', border:'0'}} className="screenshot-full" src="/img/how-to/events-chart/plotly-chart.png" alt="Plotly Chart" />
</div>
</div>
<div style={{paddingTop:'24px', paddingBottom:'24px'}}>
## Step 1: Add a Custom Component
Open the App Builder and add a Custom Component to the page. Then, click on the Custom Component to open the Properties panel.
Note: If you are not familiar with the Custom Component, please read the [Custom Component](/docs/widgets/custom-component/) doc.

<div style={{paddingTop:'24px', paddingBottom:'24px'}}>
## Step 2: Add the Code to the Custom Component
```js
import React from 'https://cdn.skypack.dev/react';
import ReactDOM from 'https://cdn.skypack.dev/react-dom';
import { Button, Container } from 'https://cdn.skypack.dev/@material-ui/core';
import Plotly from 'https://cdn.skypack.dev/plotly.js-basic-dist-min';
import createPlotlyComponent from 'https://cdn.skypack.dev/react-plotly.js/factory';
const MyCustomComponent = ({data, updateData, runQuery}) => {
const Plot = createPlotlyComponent(Plotly);
const barOnClick = ({points}) => {
alert('A bar is clicked')
}
return (
<Container>
<Plot data={[
{
"name": "Inbound",
"type": "bar",
"x": [

"marker": {

"width": 1
},
"color": "rgba(55, 128, 191, 0.6)"
},
"orientation": "h"
},
{
"name": "Outbound",
"type": "bar",
"x": [

],
"marker": {

},

}

layout={{
width: 840,
height: 800,
title: "Tickets Resolved: Inbound & Outbound",
showlegend: false,
}}
onClick={barOnClick}
/>
</Container>
)}
const ConnectedComponent = Tooljet.connectComponent(MyCustomComponent);
ReactDOM.render(<ConnectedComponent />, document.body);
```
Let's understand the code above in detail. First, we imported the required libraries.
```js
import React from 'https://cdn.skypack.dev/react'; // React library
import ReactDOM from 'https://cdn.skypack.dev/react-dom'; // React DOM library
import { Button, Container } from 'https://cdn.skypack.dev/@material-ui/core'; // Material UI library
import Plotly from 'https://cdn.skypack.dev/plotly.js-basic-dist-min'; // Plotly library
import createPlotlyComponent from 'https://cdn.skypack.dev/react-plotly.js/factory'; // Plotly React library
```
Then, we created a function component called `MyCustomComponent`. This component will render the chart. We use the `createPlotlyComponent` function to create a Plotly component. Then, we create a function called `barOnClick` that will be called when the user clicks on the bar. This function will display an alert message.
```js
const MyCustomComponent = ({data, updateData, runQuery}) => { // function component
const Plot = createPlotlyComponent(Plotly); // create a Plotly component
const barOnClick = ({points}) => { // function that will be called when the user clicks on the bar
alert('A bar is clicked') // display an alert message
}
```
Next, we render the chart using the `Plot` component. We pass the data and layout to the `Plot` component. We also pass the `barOnClick` function to the `onClick` prop of the `Plot` component.
```js
return ( // return the Plot component
<Container> // Material UI Container component
<Plot data={[ // Plot component
{ // data for the first bar
"name": "Inbound",
"type": "bar",
"x": [
20,
14,
23,
22,
30,
12,
15,
26,
31,
16,
18,
29
],
"y": [
"Jan",
"Feb",
"Mar",
"Apr",
"May",
"Jun",
"Jul",
"Aug",
"Sep",
"Oct",
"Nov",
"Dec"
],
"marker": {
"line": {
"color": "rgba(55, 128, 191, 1.0)",
"width": 1
},
"color": "rgba(55, 128, 191, 0.6)"
},
"orientation": "h"
},
{ // data for the second bar
"name": "Outbound",
"type": "bar",
"x": [
12,
18,
29,
22,
14,
23,
15,
23,
26,
13,
27,
12
],
"y": [
"Jan",
"Feb",
"Mar",
"Apr",
"May",
"Jun",
"Jul",
"Aug",
"Sep",
"Oct",
"Nov",
"Dec"
],
"marker": {
"line": {
"color": "rgba(255, 153, 51, 1.0)",
"width": 1
},
"color": "rgba(255, 153, 51, 0.6)"
},
"orientation": "h"
}
]}
layout={{ // layout for the chart
width: 840,
height: 800,
title: "Tickets Resolved: Inbound & Outbound",
showlegend: false,
}}
onClick={barOnClick} // pass the barOnClick function to the onClick prop
/>
</Container>
)}
```
Finally, we render the `MyCustomComponent` component using the `ReactDOM.render` function.
```js
const ConnectedComponent = Tooljet.connectComponent(MyCustomComponent); // connect the component to the Tooljet store
ReactDOM.render(<ConnectedComponent />, document.body); // render the component
```
</div>
<div style={{paddingTop:'24px', paddingBottom:'24px'}}>
## Step 3: Using Events from the Custom Component
In the code above, we created a function called `barOnClick` that will be called when the user clicks on the bar. This function holds the code that will be executed when the user clicks on the bar.
```js
const barOnClick = ({points}) => {
alert('A bar is clicked')
}
```
Instead of displaying an alert message, you can use the `runQuery` function to run a query.
```js
const barOnClick = ({points}) => {
runQuery('queryName')
}
```
`runQuery` is a function which accepts a query name as a string used to run the query from the custom component. Learn more about the custom component [here](/docs/widgets/custom-component/).
