How to use highcharts with angular 5?

Question

Is there any way to use highcharts.js with angular2 ?Is there any option available instead of highcharts?

Answer 1

Added this to package.json:

"angular2-highcharts": "^0.3.3",
"highcharts": "^5.0.0",

Added this on main.module.ts file:

import { ChartModule } from 'angular2-highcharts';

Added this on main.module.ts in @NgModule imports section

imports: [ // import Angular's modules    
    ChartModule
],

Added this in vendor.ts file:

//Angular2-highcharts
import { Highcharts } from 'angular2-highcharts';
require('highcharts/highcharts-more')(Highcharts);
require('highcharts/modules/solid-gauge')(Highcharts);

Added this on the chart.component.ts file

import { Highcharts } from 'angular2-highcharts';

declare this on inside the chart.component class code:

options: HighchartsOptions;
chartData: any = [];

Add this code in the method that binds the data to the chart:

this.options = {
      chart: { type: 'spline' },
      title : { text : 'chart' },
      xAxis: {
          type: 'datetime'
      },
      series: [{
        name: "name",
        data: this.chartData
      }]
    };

Added this on the chart.component.html page:

<div>
      <chart [options]="options"></chart>
    </div>

Answer 2

You could also try angular2-highcharts I implemented.

Answer 3

To install this library, install peer dependencies first:

$ npm install --save highcharts@^4.2.1

Also, make sure you install the typings for Highcharts:

$ npm install @types/highcharts --save

Then, install this library running:

$ npm install --save ng2-highcharts

app.module

import { Ng2HighchartsModule } from 'ng2-highcharts';

add Ng2HighchartsModule to @NgModule => imports

angular cli Add this JS files in script

"../node_modules/highcharts/highcharts.js",
    "../node_modules/highcharts/highcharts-more.js", 
    "../node_modules/highcharts/modules/exporting.js"

component file

import { Ng2Highcharts } from 'ng2-highcharts';


private chartData = {
chart: {
  type: 'column'
},
xAxis: {
  categories: [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]
},
series: [
  {
    name: 'NC',
    data: [7057, 6858, 6643, 6570, 6115, 107, 31, 635, 203, 2, 2]
  }, {
    name: 'OK',
    data: [54047, 52484, 50591, 49479, 46677, 33, 156, 947, 408, 6, 2]
  }, {
    name: 'KO',
    data: [11388, 11115, 10742, 10757, 10290, 973, 914, 4054, 732, 34, 2]
  }, {
    name: 'VALID',
    data: [8836, 8509, 8255, 7760, 7621, 973, 914, 4054, 732, 34, 2]
  }, {
    name: 'CHECK',
    data: [115, 162, 150, 187, 172, 973, 914, 4054, 732, 34, 2]
  }, {
    name: 'COR',
    data: [12566, 12116, 11446, 10749, 10439, 973, 914, 4054, 732, 34, 2]
  }
]};

And the HTML

<div [ng2-highcharts]="chartData"></div>

I think that you could try ng2-highchart (https://github.com/Bigous/ng2-highcharts).

See this project for a sample of use: https://github.com/Bigous/angular2-seed-ng2-highcharts.

• How to set it up in SystemJS configuration: https://github.com/Bigous/angular2-seed-ng2-highcharts/blob/master/src/index.html#L43 and https://github.com/Bigous/angular2-seed-ng2-highcharts/blob/master/tools/config.ts#L108

  <script>
    System.config({
      map: {
        'ng2-highchart': 'node_modules/ng2-highchart'
      },
      (...)
    });
  </script>
  

• How to configure it within a component: https://github.com/Bigous/angular2-seed-ng2-highcharts/blob/master/src/home/components/home.ts#L10

  import {Component, OnInit} from 'angular2/core';
  import {Http} from 'angular2/http';
  import {Ng2Highcharts, Ng2Highmaps, Ng2Highstocks} from 'ng2-highcharts/ng2-highcharts';
  
  @Component({
    selector: 'home',
    moduleId: module.id,
    templateUrl: './home.html',
    styleUrls: ['./home.css'],
    directives: [Ng2Highcharts, Ng2Highmaps, Ng2Highstocks]
  })
  export class HomeCmp implements OnInit {
    (...)
  }
  

• How to use it within a component template: https://github.com/Bigous/angular2-seed-ng2-highcharts/blob/master/src/home/components/home.html#L9

  <div [ng2-highcharts]="chartOptions" class="graph"></div>
  

Answer 5

I didn't tested yet but HighCharts has its official Angular library which seems to be actively maintained.

Answer 6

Try this approach without need of 3rd party library.

import {Component} from 'angular2/core';

declare var jQuery:any;

@Component({
    selector: 'my-chart',
    template: `<div style="width:60%" id="container"></div>`
})
export class AppComponent { 
    private data = [
            {
                name: 'USA',
                data: [null, null, null, null, null, 6, 11, 32, 110, 235, 369, 640,
                    1005, 1436, 2063, 3057, 4618, 6444, 9822, 15468, 20434, 24126,
                    27387, 29459, 31056, 31982, 32040, 31233, 29224, 27342, 26662,
                    26956, 27912, 28999, 28965, 27826, 25579, 25722, 24826, 24605,
                    24304, 23464, 23708, 24099, 24357, 24237, 24401, 24344, 23586,
                    22380, 21004, 17287, 14747, 13076, 12555, 12144, 11009, 10950,
                    10871, 10824, 10577, 10527, 10475, 10421, 10358, 10295, 10104]
            }, 
            {
                name: 'USSR/Russia',
                data: [null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null,
                    5, 25, 50, 120, 150, 200, 426, 660, 869, 1060, 1605, 2471, 3322,
                    4238, 5221, 6129, 7089, 8339, 9399, 10538, 11643, 13092, 14478,
                    15915, 17385, 19055, 21205, 23044, 25393, 27935, 30062, 32049,
                    33952, 35804, 37431, 39197, 45000, 43000, 41000, 39000, 37000,
                    35000, 33000, 31000, 29000, 27000, 25000, 24000, 23000, 22000,
                    21000, 20000, 19000, 18000, 18000, 17000, 16000]
            }];

    ngAfterViewInit() {
        this.renderChart();
    }

    renderChart(){
        jQuery('#container').highcharts({
            chart: {
                type: 'area'
            },
            title: {
                text: 'US and USSR nuclear stockpiles'
            },
            subtitle: {
                text: 'Source: thebulletin.metapress.com'
            },
            xAxis: {
                allowDecimals: false,
                labels: {
                    formatter: function () {
                        return this.value;
                    }
                }
            },
            yAxis: {
                title: {
                    text: 'Nuclear weapon states'
                },
                labels: {
                    formatter: function () {
                        return this.value / 1000 + 'k';
                    }
                }
            },
            tooltip: {
                pointFormat: '{series.name} produced <b>{point.y:,.0f}</b>' +
                             '<br/>warheads in {point.x}'
            },
            plotOptions: {
                area: {
                    pointStart: 1940,
                    marker: {
                        enabled: false,
                        symbol: 'circle',
                        radius: 2,
                        states: {
                            hover: {
                                enabled: true
                            }
                        }
                    }
                }
            },
            series: this.data
        });
    }
}

And put down this to index.html

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.2.3/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="http://code.highcharts.com/highcharts.js"></script>

Or try this module http://ngmodules.org/modules/angular2-highcharts, if you need to handle on point select event.
