amCharts 4 Editor

amCharts 4 Editor is a chart configuration creation and editing GUI for amCharts 4. It is intended to be used as part of your application to enable your users to create and edit chart configurations.

Installation

There are two steps that you need to complete to add amCharts 4 Editor to your CMS.

1. Install the package:

npm install @amcharts4/editor4

or

yarn add @amcharts/editor4

2. Configure your build process to copy am4editor directory inside of this package into the output of your build.

For example, you can use a tool like ncp to copy these files into the public directory of your projects. An included React demo uses this technique in a typical Create React App-based application:

Standard CRA scripts in package.json are modified to perform the copying before the build:

"scripts": {
    "copy-editor": "ncp ./node_modules/@amcharts/editor4/am4editor ./public/am4editor",
    "start": "yarn copy-editor && react-scripts start",
    "build": " yarn copy-editor && react-scripts build",
}

Vue sample, on the other hand, uses a different approach and modifies webpack configuration to perform the copy.

Usage

First, you'll need to import Editor launcher into your app like this:

// import Editor Launcher
import * as am4editor from '@amcharts/editor4';

Then you create an instance of the EditorLauncher class and call its launch() method passing chart configuration object in case you want to edit an existing chart.

Something like this:

const launcher = new am4editor.EditorLauncher();
launcher.launch(chartConfig);

Refer to EditorLauncher reference in the documentation to learn about available properties and configuration options.
