Usage

Basic Usage

Check out this recipe to see how to install Highcharts with npm.

var React = require('react');
var ReactHighcharts = require('react-highcharts'); // Expects that Highcharts was loaded in the code. 

var config = {
  /* HighchartsConfig */
};
React.render(<ReactHighcharts config = {config}></ReactHighcharts>, document.body);

Bundled Usage (includes Highcharts)

var React = require('react');
var ReactHighcharts = require('react-highcharts/bundle/highcharts'); // Highcharts is bundled 

var config = {
  /* HighchartsConfig */
};
React.render(<ReactHighcharts config = {config}></ReactHighcharts>, document.body);

Accessing Highcharts API After Render

For access to methods & properties from the Highcharts library you can use ReactHighcharts.Highcharts. For example, the Highcharts options are available via ReactHighcharts.Highcharts.getOptions().

Highcharts provides an API for manipulating a chart after the initial render. See the Methods and Properties in the documentation. Here's how you access it:

class MyComponent extends React.Component {
  componentDidMount() {
    let chart = this.refs.chart.getChart();
    chart.series[0].addPoint({x: 10, y: 12});
  }

  render() {
    return <ReactHighcharts config={config} ref="chart"></ReactHighcharts>;
  }
}

Limiting Highchart Rerenders

Rerendering a highcharts graph is expensive. You can pass in a isPureConfig option to the ReactHighcharts component, which will keep the highcharts graph from being updated so long as the provided config is referentially equal to its previous value.

Rendering on the server with node

For Contributors

Update Highcharts Version

Install new highcharts version.
