Installation with ES6 modules

Highcharts Dashboards packages are available as ES6-compatible modules.

Including a product package (ES6 module)

For debugging and development purposes, you can load core files directly from your browser page and use tree shaking. Please note that this results in a decreased download size but an increased delay caused by the amount of (small) files to load. This approach is, therefore, not recommended for production.


    <script type="module">
        import Dashboards from 'https://code.highcharts.com/dashboards/es-modules/masters/dashboards.src.js';
 
        Dashboards.board('container', {
            editMode: {
                enabled: true,
                contextMenu: {
                    enabled: true
                }
            },
            gui: {
                enabled: true,
                layouts: [{
                    rows: [{
                        cells: [{
                            id: 'dashboard-col-0'
                        }]
                    }]
                }]
            },
            components: [
                {
                    renderTo: 'dashboard-col-0',
                    type: 'HTML',
                    elements: [{
                        tagName: 'h1',
                        attributes: {
                            text: 'Hello world'
                        }
                    }]
                }
            ]
        });
 
    </script>

To load a plugin

A plugin is a third-party/community-made Highcharts Dashboards addon. First, make sure that a plugin supports loading over NPM. Then, load the required files. In the example, Grid supports NPM loading, so after installing the package, you could initialize and register it like this:


import Dashboards from '@highcharts/dashboards/es-modules/masters/dashboards.src';
import Grid from '@highcharts/dashboards/es-modules/masters/datagrid.src';
 
Dashboards.GridPlugin.custom.connectGrid(Grid);
Dashboards.PluginHandler.addPlugin(Dashboards.GridPlugin);
