[Solved]-Highcharts saying undefined is not a function when trying to add a new chart-Highcharts

highcharts does not require jquery to work (the current answer is wrong), however you need to load the 'standalone framework' library first:

define([
    'vnd/highcharts/standalone-framework',
    'vnd/highcharts/highcharts',
], function(){
    ...
}

see @sebastian's jsfiddle for a demo: http://jsfiddle.net/highcharts/aeugp/

i resolved the issue. the solution is as follows.

highcharts requires jquery to function correctly. when i added the jquery.js file above the highcharts.js file the angular application started to work correctly.

thanks for the feedback!
