        type: 'line'
      }
    ]
  };

  return <ReactECharts option={option} />;
};

export default LineChart;

Bar Chart

for example:

// render the echarts component below with rel
<ReactECharts
  ref={(e) => { this.echartRef = e; }}
  option={this.getOption()}
/>

// then get the `ReactECharts` use this.echarts_react

const echartInstance = this.echartRef.getEchartsInstance();
// then you can use any API of echarts.
const base64 = echartInstance.getDataURL();

About API of echarts, can see https://echarts.apache.org/api.html#echartsInstance.

You can use the API to do:

1. binding / unbinding event.
2. dynamic charts with dynamic data.
3. get the echarts dom / dataURL / base64, save the chart to png.
4. release the charts.
