Usage

About javascript Assets notes:

For Rails 2.x/3.0.x

you need manually put jquery/highcharts js to public/javascript
modify your layout html Sample Code:

 <%= javascript_include_tag "http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js"  %>
 <%= javascript_include_tag :highcharts  %>

add gem name in your config/environment.rb

config.gem "lazy_high_charts"

Done!

For Rails 3.1

In your Gemfile, add this line:

gem 'lazy_high_charts', '~> 1.1.5'

then execuate command:

Rails g lazy_high_charts:install

Usage in Controller:

@h = LazyHighCharts::HighChart.new('graph') do |f|
  f.options[:chart][:defaultSeriesType] = "area"
  f.series(:name=>'John', :data=>[3, 20, 3, 5, 4, 10, 12 ,3, 5,6,7,7,80,9,9])
  f.series(:name=>'Jane', :data=> [1, 3, 4, 3, 3, 5, 4,-46,7,8,8,9,9,0,0,9] )
end

Without overriding entire option , (only change a specific option index):

@h = LazyHighCharts::HighChart.new('graph') do |f|
  #.....
  f.options[:chart][:defaultSeriesType] = "area"
  f.options[:chart][:inverted] = true
  f.options[:legend][:layout] = "horizontal"
  f.options[:xAxis][:categories] = ["uno" ,"dos" , "tres" , "cuatro"]
  #......

Overriding entire option:

@h = LazyHighCharts::HighChart.new('graph') do |f|
  #.....
  f.xAxis(:categories => @days.reverse! , :labels=>{:rotation=>-45 , :align => 'right'})
  f.chart({:defaultSeriesType=>"spline" , :renderTo => "myRenderArea" , :inverted => true})
  #.....

Usage in layout:

<%= javascript_include_tag :highcharts %>

Usage in view:

<%= high_chart("my_id", @h) %>

You can pass in additional javascript into to the view with a block, this will be executed before the high chart is called

<%= high_chart("my_id", @h) do |c| %>
  alert('hello')
<%end %>

To include javascript function calls or callbacks you can use the js_code method on your string"function".js_code:

f.options[:plotOptions] = { 
  :column => { :events => { :click => %|function() { window.location = "http://www.highcharts.com" }|.js_code } }
}

HighStock Support:

Just call HighChart Helper this way:

<%= high_stock("my_id", @h) %>
