Is there a how to guide for behavior development or documentation on this? Or
even the jspwiki front end in general? The whole javascript setup in this
project is a quiet bit different than i've seen before. Taking a while to get
my footing on this one.

True but the browser will cache it so the overhead is pretty minimal. Could
probably add the async flag for the javascript since it's typically not needed
right away

I understand the concern. It's either we copy and put chartist's dist content
within the ASF repo, CDN link it which I absolutely do not want to do for
multiple reasons, or use the webjar approach which is what this branch is
using. Webjars are pretty neat, it's an automated free cloud service that
monitors npm based open source github repos for releases, then builds it,
packages the output as a webjar and auto publishes to maven central. So at
least the dependency is managed somehow.... but unfortunately inside of the
webjar, they put the version number in the path name. This is not ideal but it
is what it is. Have any other options?
Googling this, it looks like there's a {{webjars-locator}} which might solve
this issue. I'll look into this next.

Yup i saw that ticket and that wiki page too. It was next on the long list of
stuff i was going to attempt to hack together in the baseline.

> Add a charting library to JSPWiki for easy rendering data in TABLE's as line,
> pie- or bar-charts.
> The charting library should provide well chosen defaults to keep the extra
> markup as little as possible.
> Proposal:
> Include [https://gionkunz.github.io/chartist-js/] (MIT license) in the
> standard JSPWiki's distribution.
> * small footprint (10K zipped JS; only loaded in pages with require charts)
> * usage of svg; high quality device independent
> * highly customizable; but using 'convention over configuration' (great
> defaults)
> * responsive (great output on mobile devices)
>
> Prereq: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JSPWIKI-1040
