loading JSON from highcharter graph into highcharts web editor #770

Closed lm-ccc closed 3 months ago

Hi there

thanks for the great package :) I'm a beginner so apologies if my question doesn't make sense!

I'm interested to know whether its possible to save the JSON for a highcharter chart (as in #269 ), and then load the chart into the highcharts editor, by clicking the button circled in the screenshot.

I gave this a go with the file saved from the example below, but it didn't seem to work when trying to upload it in the web editor:

library(highcharter)
library(jsonlite)
hc <- hchart(mtcars, "point", hcaes(x = mpg, y = cyl))
hc_json <- toJSON(hc$x$hc_opts, auto_unbox = TRUE, pretty = TRUE)
write(hc_json, "test.json")

My desired workflow is:

  1. generate charts in R with highcharter
  2. Import into highcharts editor, and save to cloud (i don't have a highcharts license yet.. so don't know what this step looks like)
  3. Potentially tweak the chart in the highcharts editor
  4. Embed in a wordpress website

I'm interested to know what this workflow looks like for others, and whether there is an established way to achieve this.

Thanks - and apologies again if this question isn't appropriate here Luke
