Ember-highcharts

A Highcharts, Highstock and Highmaps component for Ember CLI.

Installation

ember install:addon ember-highcharts

This addon will use Highcharts by default, if you want to use Highstocks, Highmaps and/or Highcharts-more, add this options to your Brocfile.js:

var app = new EmberApp({
  ---
  emberHighCharts: {
    includeHighCharts: false,
    includeHighStock: true,
    includeHighMaps: true,
    includeHighChartsMore: true
  }
  ---
});

Usage

In your template:

{{high-charts mode=chartMode content=chartData chartOptions=chartOptions theme=theme}}

Then in a controller you can set the chartMode, chartData, chartOptions and theme values:

import Ember from 'ember';
import defaultTheme from '../themes/default-theme';

export default Ember.Controller.extend({
  chartMode: 'StockChart', // Available options: a falsy value, 'StockChart', 'Map'.
                           // If `mode` is not provided or is a falsy value, the chart is initialized in Charts mode.
                           // If `mode` is a string, it is passed to Highcharts as the first argument.
                           // When Highcharts introduces a new mode, you will be able to use it here right away.

  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
});

Configuring Default Styles

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;
 }

Generating Chart Components

Ember-highcharts also provides blueprints to easily create sub-classes of the default high-charts component.

ember generate chart <chart-name>

Overriding Chart Redrawing

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('[e-mail]', 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();
  })

});

{{dynamic-high-charts mode=chartMode content=chartData chartOptions=chartOptions theme=theme}}
