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.
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.
Compatibility
If you build charts using the Highcharts API it will be unlikely that our Paste data visualization components will function correctly as they depend on helper functions and event tracking that we enrich the default options with.
