Samples

If you are looking for samples for all available export methods, you can find them in the ./samples folder. They are divided into five categories (Batch, CLI, HTTP, Node.js Module, and Resources), each in a separate folder. Below is a list of commands to run all the samples for quick usage:

Batch

The batch example allows exporting more than one chart using the CLI. To make this work, files must be separated as shown below.

• batch{1-3}.json: highcharts-export-server --batch "./samples/batch/batch1.json=./samples/batch/batch1.png;./samples/batch/batch2.json=./samples/batch/batch2.png;./samples/batch/batch3.json=./samples/batch/batch3.png;"

CLI

The CLI examples use the --infile and --loadConfig options to load chart JSON configuration or SVG representation.

• infileJson.json: highcharts-export-server --infile ./samples/cli/infileJson.json --outfile ./samples/cli/infileJson.png
• infileNotJson.json: highcharts-export-server --infile ./samples/cli/infileNotJson.json --outfile ./samples/cli/infileNotJson.png
• svgBasic.svg: highcharts-export-server --infile ./samples/cli/svgBasic.svg --outfile ./samples/cli/svgBasic.png
• svgBigger.svg: highcharts-export-server --infile ./samples/cli/svgBigger.svg --outfile ./samples/cli/svgBigger.png
• svgForeignObject.svg: highcharts-export-server --infile ./samples/cli/svgForeignObject.svg --outfile ./samples/cli/svgForeignObject.png

HTTP

The HTTP request examples require the server to be enabled. This can be done with the highcharts-export-server --enableServer true command. Below examples use Curl as a method to send the request.

• requestInfile.json: curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST --data-binary "@samples/http/requestInfile.json" 127.0.0.1:7801 -o samples/http/requestInfile.png
• requestSvg.json: curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST --data-binary "@samples/http/requestSvg.json" 127.0.0.1:7801 -o samples/http/requestSvg.png

Node.js module

The Node.js module examples show how to export charts using the available API.

• optionsPhantom.js: node ./samples/module/optionsPhantom.js
• optionsPuppeteer.js: node ./samples/module/optionsPuppeteer.js
• promises.js: node ./samples/module/promises.js
• svg.js: node ./samples/module/svg.js

Resources

The Resources category contains resources such as callback, custom code, custom options, global and theme options, resources file, etc., which are used throughout all samples and tests.
