[Solved]-how to import highcharts with webpack and babel-Highcharts

Try using the package name as used during npm install:

import highcharts from 'highcharts-release';

i am working with AngulrJS, ES6, Webpack and Babel. it took me a while to find it but i ended up using expose on highchart.

this is what i did:

npm install highcharts --save

import 'expose?highcharts!highcharts/highcharts';

only import as shown, no need for any thing else.

and then you can simple use highchart in your controller (without adding it as a dependency)

import Highcharts from 'highcharts';
import 'highcharts-ng'  //add this line if you wish to use highcharts angular directive

And then add a new rule in the webpack.config.js

{
   test: require.resolve('highcharts'),
   use:[{
        loader: 'expose-loader',
        options: 'Highcharts'
   }]
}

You don't need any extra plugin or modification in your webpack config file. Just follow these steps:

install typings file for highcharts using this:

npm install --save @types/highcharts

change your import statements to following:

import * as Highcharts from 'highcharts'; import HighchartsMore = require('highcharts/highcharts-more'); HighchartsMore(Highcharts);

For me only this method is working with webpack(and was working with browserify as well):

global.js

import $ from 'jquery';

global.$ = global.jQuery = $;

app.js

import './globals';
import 'angular';
import 'highcharts';
// ...

I don't know why webpack.ProvidePlugin works fine with AngularJS but not with highcharts.

My config was looking like:

new webpack.ProvidePlugin({
    $: 'jquery',
    jQuery: 'jquery',
    'window.jQuery': 'jquery', // for using with AngularJS
    _: 'underscore',
    moment: 'moment'
})

// I've also tried this but without luck:
{
  test: require.resolve('highcharts'),
  loader: 'imports-loader?jQuery=jquery'
}

Try doing an npm install highcharts-release. Then in your JavaScript file do import Highcharts from 'highcharts-release/highcharts';. There may be a better way, but that worked for me.

Try variations of:

require('expose?Highcharts!highcharts');
require('highcharts/modules/map')(Highcharts);
require('highcharts/highcharts-more')(Highcharts);
require('expose?Highcharts!highcharts/highstock');

If you wander around in ./node_modules/highcharts/... you might be able to trial-and-error your way into the modules and/or libs you need.

I don't have any joy using the form

$('myselector').highcharts(...)

Replacing them with

Highcharts.chart('myselector', ...)

works for me.

This is how I solved it, using Webpack v4.16.5 and Highcharts v5.0.11.

webpack.config

module: {
  rules: [
    {
      test: /\.js$/,
      exclude: /(node_modules|bower_components)/,
      use: [{
        loader: 'babel-loader'
      }]
    },
    {
      test: /highcharts.*/,
      loader: 'imports-loader?window=>global&window.jQuery=>$'
    }
    // ...
  ],
  alias: {
    jquery: 'jquery/jquery'
    // ...
  }
},
externals: {
  jQuery: 'jQuery'
},
plugins: [
  new webpack.ProvidePlugin({
    $: 'jquery',
    jQuery: 'jquery',
    'window.jQuery': 'jquery',
    'window.$': 'jquery',
    Highcharts: 'highcharts/highcharts'
    // ...
  })
]

main.js 1st option

import addMore from 'highcharts/highcharts-more'
import addExporting from 'highcharts/modules/exporting'
import addOfflineExporting from 'highcharts/modules/offline-exporting'
import addSolidGauge from 'highcharts/modules/solid-gauge'
import addDrilldown from 'highcharts/modules/drilldown'
import addTreemap from 'highcharts/modules/treemap'
import addFunnel from 'highcharts/modules/funnel'

addMore(Highcharts)
addExporting(Highcharts)
addOfflineExporting(Highcharts)
addSolidGauge(Highcharts)
addDrilldown(Highcharts)
addTreemap(Highcharts)
addFunnel(Highcharts)

main.js 2nd option:

require('highcharts/highcharts-more')(Highcharts)
require('highcharts/modules/exporting')(Highcharts)
require('highcharts/modules/offline-exporting')(Highcharts)
require('highcharts/modules/solid-gauge')(Highcharts)
require('highcharts/modules/drilldown')(Highcharts)
require('highcharts/modules/treemap')(Highcharts)
require('highcharts/modules/funnel')(Highcharts)

This way, it's both $(..).highcharts() and Highcharts.chart() usable.

Hope this helps!

Try this:

npm install highcharts

The issue I faced with this approach is using other modules in highcharts, such as highcharts-more, map, etc., To overcome this I imported highcharts and the other required modules like this:

import highcharts from 'highcharts';
import highchartsMore from 'highcharts-more';
highchartsMore(highcharts);
