nuxt-highcharts

Highcharts for Nuxt

Setup

Add nuxt-highcharts dependency to your project

npm i nuxt-highcharts

NOTE: if working with highcharts 11, you need to remember to convert your data from the Proxy type to a type supported by Highcharts. For example, if you have reactive data this.points, you'll need to set the Highcharts data with something like: Array.from(this.points)

These are the module's required dependencies:
- highcharts - The charting library.
These are the module's optional dependencies:
- @highcharts/map-collection - Collection of maps to use with Highmap. Please be aware of their LICENSE. This module uses it strictly for demo purposes (and is non-profit, open-source).

Add nuxt-highcharts to the modules section of nuxt.config.js

{
  modules: [
    // Simple usage
    'nuxt-highcharts',

    // With options
    ['nuxt-highcharts', { /* module options */ }]
  ],
  highcharts: {
    /* module options */
  }
}

Quick-Start Example

For the impatient that "just need it to work", this is your easiest option!

<highchart :options="chartOptions" />

If you plan to only change the title and series data, this will update the chart faster than the previous example:

<highchart 
  :options="chartOptions" 
  :update="['options.title', 'options.series']" 
/>

Module Options

Option	Type	Description
`chartOptions`	Object	Default chart options to use for the highchart components. These get wired to Highcharts. Useful tip: `import('highcharts/highcharts').Options` to get intellisense suggestions
`exporting`	Boolean	Enable/disable the exporting feature globally
`setOptions`	Object	Options to use globally, that get sent to Highcharts.setOptions. For example, decimal point separator ('.' or ','). Useful tip: `import('highcharts/highcharts').Options` to get intellisense suggestions

The above options can also be provided as props to the highcharts components. When provided as props, the props will be used instead. Module options are useful when you want the same feature applied globally, like exporting. Props are preferred when you only want to have those options affect individual components.

Components

The nuxt-highchart module adds a plugin which registers the following components:

Name	Description
`highchart`	The basic chart component (but still very powerful! see the demo)
`highstock`	The highstock chart component, shorthand for `
`highmap`	The highmap chart component, shorthand for `

Props (extends and overrides module options)

Option	Type	Default	Description
`animation`	Object	`{}`	Animation options Chart.update. This is where you can specify animation duration.
`exporting`	Boolean	`moduleOptions.exporting
`highcharts`	Object	`Highcharts`	The `Highcharts` instance to use, defaults to an instance imported by the plugin.
`map`	Object	`{ mapName: 'myMapName', mapData: [you provide this, see examples] }`	Options for the Highmap chart. The `mapData` can be either the JSON or string pointing to the json file
`modules`	Array<String>	Highcharts modules to load. These modules are in `node_modules/highcharts/modules/*.js`
`more`	Boolean	false	Enable/disable highcharts-more. Some charts, such as polar and bubble, require this to be enabled. NOTE: Highcharts library deliberately leaves out the features to avoid bloating the library. Only specify `more` when you want those extra features
`oneToOne`	Boolean	`true`	One-to-One option for Chart.update
`options`	Object	`moduleOptions.chartOptions
`redraw`	Boolean	`true`	Redraw option for Chart.update
`setOptions`	Object	`moduleOptions.setOptions`	Options to use globally, that get sent to Highcharts.setOptions. For example, decimal point separator ('.' or ','). Useful tip: `import('highcharts/highcharts').Options` to get intellisense suggestions
`update`	Array	`["options"]`	Contains an array of specific options to watch. Is extremely useful for speeding up the reactivity! Default: ["options"].

The following watchers are currently supported:

"options": watch deep all the options' properties. Easy to use, but can impact performance.
"options.caption"
"options.series"
"options.subtitle"
"options.title"
"options.yAxis"
"options.xAxis"

The plugin will also inject $highcharts into the current context, so that on any component, you can access the following properties:

$highcharts.chartTypes - various chart types
$highcharts.components - the components registered by the plugin

Events

Event	Description
`chartLoaded`	Emitted after successfully mounting any of the above components. It will provide an instance of the chart, so should you wish to use the Highchart API directly you can using that instance.

Run-time config

The following run-time config variables are also available in this.$config.nuxtHighcharts:

Variable	Description
pluginOptions	The module options that were passed to the plugin
hcModNames	List of the highcharts modules you can load
