A Highcharts, Highstock, and Highmaps component for Ember CLI.
- Ember CLI
- Ember >= 1.13.0
- If you need support for Ember < 1.13.0, use ember-highcharts v0.1.3
ember install ember-highcharts
This component takes in four arguments:
The mode
argument is optional and it determines whether to use Highcharts, Highstock, or Highmaps.
The possible values are:
Value | Description |
---|---|
falsy value | defaults to Highcharts mode |
"StockChart" | uses Highstock mode |
"Map" | uses Highmaps mode |
The chartOptions
argument is a generic object for setting different options with Highcharts/Highstock/Highmaps.
Use this option to set things like the chart title and axis settings.
The content
argument matches up with the series
option in the Highcharts/Highstock/Highmaps API.
Use this option to set the series data for your chart.
The theme
argument is optional and it allows you to pass in a
Highcharts theme.
The callback
argument is executed after the chart object is finished loading and rendering.
Use this option for example to render images into the chart.
Here's an example of how to create a basic bar chart:
// controller
import Ember from 'ember';
import defaultTheme from '../themes/default-theme';
export default Ember.Controller.extend({
chartOptions: {
chart: {
type: 'bar'
},
title: {
text: 'Fruit Consumption'
},
xAxis: {
categories: ['Apples', 'Bananas', 'Oranges']
},
yAxis: {
title: {
text: 'Fruit eaten'
}
}
},
chartData: [{
name: 'Jane',
data: [1, 0, 4]
}, {
name: 'John',
data: [5, 7, 3]
}],
theme: defaultTheme
});
Check out more chart examples in the tests/dummy app in this repo.
This addon will load Highcharts by default. Highcharts has many optional features like Highstock and Highmaps.
You can add the emberHighCharts
option to your ember-cli-build.js
file to load these optional features:
// all possible options
var app = new EmberApp({
emberHighCharts: {
includeHighCharts: false,
includeHighStock: true,
includeHighMaps: false,
includeHighChartsMore: true,
includeHighCharts3D: true,
includeModules: ['map', 'broken-axis', 'heatmap', ... ]
/* available modules:
boost, broken-axis, canvas-tools, data, drilldown, exporting, funnel,
heatmap, map, no-data-to-display, offline-exporting, solid-gauge, treemap
*/
}
});
Highcharts is already included in Highstock, so it is not necessary to load both. Using the following configuration to load Highstock:
var app = new EmberApp({
emberHighCharts: {
includeHighCharts: false,
includeHighStock: true
}
});
Highcharts is not included in Highmaps. If you only need to use Highmaps use the following configuration:
var app = new EmberApp({
emberHighCharts: {
includeHighCharts: false,
includeHighMaps: true
}
});
If you need to use Highmaps and Highcharts then use the following configuration:
var app = new EmberApp({
emberHighCharts: {
includeHighCharts: true,
includeModules: ['map']
}
});
Ember-highcharts provides its own set of default configurations in addon/utils/option-loader.js
.
At runtime you can optionally configure custom styles by providing a app/highcharts-configs/application.js
file.
This file should provide a hook that returns the final configuration.
// app/highcharts-configs/application.js
export default function(defaultOptions) {
defaultOptions.credits.href = 'http://www.my-great-chart.com';
defaultOptions.credits.text = 'great charts made cheap';
defaultOptions.credits.enabled = true;
return defaultOptions;
}
Ember-highcharts also provides blueprints to easily create sub-classes of the default high-charts component.
ember generate chart <chart-name>
This addon observes changes to chartData and redraws the chart using the highcharts Series.setData method. You can extend this component to handle advanced redrawing use cases like dynamically updating labels and titles (ex: Chart.setTitle()).
// components/dynamic-high-charts.js
import Ember from 'ember';
import EmberHighChartsComponent from 'ember-highcharts/components/high-charts';
export default EmberHighChartsComponent.extend({
contentDidChange: Ember.observer('[email protected]', function() {
// add redraw logic here. ex:
var chart = this.get('chart');
var seriesName = this.get('content')[0].name;
chart.series[0].update({ name: seriesName, data: this.get('content')[0].data }, false);
chart.setTitle(null, { text: seriesName }, false);
chart.redraw();
})
});
