Installation

If you are using `<script>` tags

Use git to download the amcharts3-react plugin:

git clone https://github.com/amcharts/amcharts3-react.git

Include react and react-dom:

<script src="https://unpkg.com/react@15.3.0/dist/react.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://unpkg.com/react-dom@15.3.0/dist/react-dom.min.js"></script>

Also include amcharts:

<script src="https://www.amcharts.com/lib/3/amcharts.js"></script>
<script src="https://www.amcharts.com/lib/3/serial.js"></script>
<script src="https://www.amcharts.com/lib/3/themes/light.js"></script>

Lastly include the amcharts3-react plugin:

<script src="amcharts3-react/amcharts3-react.js"></script>

If you are using a bundler like Webpack or Browserify

Create a package.json which includes react, react-dom, amcharts/amcharts3, and amcharts/amcharts3-react:

{
  "devDependencies": {
    "react": "^15.4.2",
    "react-dom": "^15.4.2",
    "amcharts3": "amcharts/amcharts3",
    "amcharts3-react": "amcharts/amcharts3-react"
  }
}

Run npm install

You can now import the amcharts3-react plugin:

var AmCharts = require("amcharts3-react");

And then you can use it:

React.createElement(AmCharts.React, {
  ...
});

Or alternatively if you are using JSX:

<AmCharts.React ... />

You will probably need to specify the path property, so that AmCharts can find the appropriate images:
```
React.createElement(AmCharts.React, {
  "path": "node_modules/amcharts3/amcharts"
})
```

If you want to use plugins (like dataloader, export, responsive, animate, etc.) you will need to do the following steps:

Include the plugin in your package.json:

{
  "devDependencies": {
    "amcharts3-export": "amcharts/export"
  }
}

When you want to use the plugin, put a require at the top of the file:

// This must be at the top of the file:
require("amcharts3-export");

// The rest of the code goes here:
var React = require("react");
var AmCharts = require("amcharts3-react");

React.createElement(AmCharts.React, {
  "export": {
    "enabled": true
  }
});

You can see an example program in the examples/webpack-export folder.

Usage

Use the AmCharts.React component in your React programs:

React.createElement(AmCharts.React, {
  "type": "serial",
  "theme": "light",
  "graphs": [...],
  "dataProvider": [...]
})

Or alternatively if you are using JSX:

<AmCharts.React
  type="serial"
  theme="light"
  graphs={[...]}
  dataProvider={[...]} />

The configuration is exactly the same as the AmCharts.makeChart method.

Changes to the configuration are automatically detected when rendering (you do not need to call validateNow or validateData).

In addition, this plugin automatically generates an id, so you do not need to specify it.

You can see some example React programs in the examples folder. It updates the chart's dataProvider every 3 seconds.
