Chart Provider

Chart Provider is a wrapper around Highcharts that provides a consistent API for configuring an individual chart instance. This component has no visible elements and is an engineering asset only. It acts as a store for chart options and provides a context for managing chart state.

We highly recommend using our BaseChart code inside the ChartProvider to ensure that the chart is rendered correctly and state is correctly stored.

The Chart Provider accepts a single object that defines the chart to render. This can be passed either through the options prop for supported Paste charts or through the highchartsOptions prop to render custom charts using the full Highcharts API.

Using our supported chart options gives engineers a more streamlined and intuitive API for building various chart types. We offer a set of base configuration options shared across all charts, along with additional options specific to certain chart types. This approach simplifies the often heavily nested Highcharts API, making it easier to configure charts with clearer and more approachable property names.

You can use the highchartsOptions to create unsupported charts by passing the Higcharts config directly to the base chart without modification. We recommend using our wrappers for easier migration and a simpler way of accessing the rendered chart object for building custom interactions.
