One of my favorite plugins is wpDataTables. Not only does it include the datatables.js library, but also a variety of charting solutions that are far superior to the native charts in Avada. It has always worked with Avada, but in the version 4 release the wpDataTables team did something completely unexpected — they integrated it with the Avada Builder. Now tables and charts are design elements that you can use anywhere in your Avada design. It does not have a Gutenberg block yet, but it can be added with the classic block, either in its native implementation or as an Avada element.

For the purposes of the demonstration, I chose to use the Avada elements. Once you do, you will be asked which table or chart you want to include.

For the purposes of this demo, I retrieved some data from the Department of Veterans Affairs Open Data repository.
