Highcharts Not displaying function's data values - javascript

i Have created a Highchart using the Following Highchart's Demo:
https://www.highcharts.com/demo/dynamic-update
Now What I did I created my Own function to add dynamic values to the Chart.
I created a function to get the dynamic data from a particular php file whose data changes on every page load event.
I am getting the data values in the getData function console.log
Here is the Script That I am using.
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
function getData(){
$.ajax({
type: 'GET',
url: 'data.php',
success: function(data){
// var number = document.write(data) ;
console.log(data);
return data ;
}
}) ;
}
Highcharts.chart('chart', {
chart: {
type: 'spline',
animation: Highcharts.svg, // don't animate in old IE
marginRight: 10,
events: {
load: function () {
// set up the updating of the chart each second
var series = this.series[0];
setInterval(function () {
var x = (new Date()).getTime(), // current time
y = getData();
console.log(y);
series.addPoint([x, y], true, true);
}, 1000);
}
}
},
time: {
useUTC: false
},
title: {
text: 'Live random data'
},
xAxis: {
type: 'datetime',
tickPixelInterval: 150
},
yAxis: {
title: {
text: 'Value'
},
plotLines: [{
value: 0,
width: 1,
color: '#808080'
}]
},
tooltip: {
headerFormat: '<b>{series.name}</b><br/>',
pointFormat: '{point.x:%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S}<br/>{point.y:.2f}'
},
legend: {
enabled: false
},
exporting: {
enabled: false
},
series: [{
name: 'Random data',
data: (function () {
// generate an array of random data
var data = [],
time = (new Date()).getTime(),
i;
for (i = -19; i <= 0; i += 1) {
data.push({
x: time + i * 1000,
y: getData()
});
}
return data;
}())
}]
});
});
</script>
Now as you can see that I have created a getData function and getting the data value in return.
On console log under the getData function, I am getting integer Value in return every one second.
the problem is that under the Highchart's function, I am not able to get the data values using getData function, it's returning undefined in the console .
Highchart's is running but it does not show any data points. it is moving but without showing any data points.
Please correct me in the area , where I am doing wrong.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks

ajax calls are run asynchronously so you cant really return data from it.
instead you should render chart inside the ajax success function.
A good example is here already.
https://www.highcharts.com/docs/working-with-data/live-data
Basically
1. point on load to call a function getData
2. in Getdata call ajax function.
3. in success of ajax render chart with new data.
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() {
chart = Highcharts.chart('container', {
chart: {
type: 'spline',
events: {
load: requestData
}
},
title: {
text: 'Live random data'
},
xAxis: {
type: 'datetime',
tickPixelInterval: 150,
maxZoom: 20 * 1000
},
yAxis: {
minPadding: 0.2,
maxPadding: 0.2,
title: {
text: 'Value',
margin: 80
}
},
series: [{
name: 'Random data',
data: []
}]
});
});
/**
* Request data from the server, add it to the graph and set a timeout
* to request again
*/
function requestData() {
$.ajax({
url: 'live-server-data.php',
success: function(point) {
var series = chart.series[0],
shift = series.data.length > 20; // shift if the series is
// longer than 20
// add the point
chart.series[0].addPoint(point, true, shift);
// call it again after one second - add this if you want to auto refresh
// setTimeout(requestData, 1000);
},
cache: false
});
}

Render chart only once with multiple events : Highcharts

So what I have is a chart in which I have events function which loads data for multiple sets.
suppose I have data of 3000 points. The first data set renders the first 1000 points and after that second data set renders 2000 points.
for which I am calling my 'events' function .
but the problem arises that after showing the first 1000 set of data. The chart starts from the begining.
I don't want that.
That's why I need a solution so that my Highchart's chart render only once and the event function loads continuously.
Here's a snip of my Highchart's js
Highcharts.chart("chartcontainer", { // make thsi chart load only once.
chart: {
type: 'line',
animation: Highcharts.svg, // don't animate in old IE
marginRight: 10,
//Load this event function as the data updates
events: {
load: function() {
var series = this.series[0],
chart = this;
setInterval(function() {
//some logic regarding the chart
//..
v = {
y: y,
x: x
};
console.log("V value", v);
series.addSeries(v, false, true);
counter++;
localcounter++;
} else
{
oldcounter=counter;
flagToreload=1;
}
}, 1000/130);
setInterval(function() {
chart.redraw(false);
}, 100);
}
}
},
time: {
useUTC: false
},
title: {
text: 'Live random data'
},
xAxis: {
type: 'Value',
gridLineWidth: 1
},
yAxis: {
title: {
text: 'Value'
},
plotLines: [{
value: 0,
width: 1,
color: '#808080'
}],
gridLineWidth: 1
},
tooltip: {
headerFormat: '<b>{series.name}</b><br/>',
pointFormat: '{point.x:%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S}<br/>{point.y:.2f}'
},
exporting: {
enabled: false
},
series: [{
animation: false,
name: 'Random data',
data: (function() {
// generate an array of random data
var data = [],
time = counter,
i;
for (i = -1000; i <= 0; i += 1) {
data.push([
counter,
null
]);
}
return data;
}())
}]
});
You can use:
addPoint method:
chart: {
events: {
load: function() {
var newData,
chart = this,
series = chart.series[0];
setInterval(function() {
newData = getRandomData();
newData.forEach(function(el) {
series.addPoint(el, false);
});
chart.redraw();
}, 2000);
}
}
}

setInterval(function() {
newData = getRandomData();
combinedData = series.userOptions.data.concat(newData);
series.setData(combinedData);
}, 2000);
}
}

dynamic chart with Highcharts using json

I've a question about how to create a dynamic chart using json, I tried and my graph didn't show a result, when I checked out, I've no error with my code. This is my code :
<script>
var chart; // global
function requestData() {
$.ajax({
url: 'api_heartrate.php',
success: function(point) {
var series = chart.series[0],
shift = series.data.length > 20; // shift if the series is longer than 20
// add the point
chart.series[0].addPoint(eval(point), true, shift);
// call it again after one second
setTimeout(requestData, 1000);
},
cache: false
});
}
$(document).ready(function() {
chart = new Highcharts.Chart({
chart: {
renderTo: 'container',
defaultSeriesType: 'spline',
events: {
load: requestData
}
},
title: {
text: 'Live random data'
},
xAxis: {
type: 'datetime',
tickPixelInterval: 150,
maxZoom: 20 * 1000
},
yAxis: {
minPadding: 0.2,
maxPadding: 0.2,
title: {
text: 'Value',
margin: 80
}
},
series: [{
name: 'Random data',
data: []
}]
});
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="container" style="width: 800px; height: 400px; margin: 0 auto"></div>`
this is my json :
http://health.barrukurniawan.tech/api_heartrate.php
[{"time":"2018-08-02 09:30:11","nilai_sensor":"78"}]
I tried following a tutorial from this link :
Highcharts Dynamic Chart with MySQL Data doesn't reload
Thanks for your attention, gladly waiting for an answer :)
There are multiple small errors in your approach
eval is bad, parse it using JSON.parse instead.
During load, chart is not defined yet, so your callback will not work.
Highcharts needs time in milliseconds since 1970.
highcharts expects an object {x: , y: ,...} you give it {time: , nilai_sensor: }.
Solutions:
point = JSON.parse(point)
events: {
load: function() {
setInterval(function() {
requestData(chart)
}, 1000);
}
}
new Date(point[0].time).getTime()
{x: new Date(point[0].time).getTime(), y: point[0].nilai_sensor}
Here is a working example using your input with static data(and some added time to keep it moving): https://jsfiddle.net/ewolden/md975oLk/23/

Highchart xAxis label steps wrong

I am loading Highcharts like this.
var options = {
credits: {
enabled: false
},
chart: {
renderTo: 'chart_box',
type: 'areaspline'
},
title: {
text: ''
},
xAxis: {
crosshairs: true,
labels: {
step: 5,
rotation: -45
}
},
series: []
};
Then I have a function which is called when graph needs to be loaded. Upon calling the function, data is fetched through AJAX and assigned to series and date lie this:
$.ajax({
url: 'url/charts',
type: 'post',
data: data
}).done(function(data) {
var dateCount = data.dates.length;
var stepCount = 1;
if (dateCount > 10) {
stepCount = 5;
}
options.xAxis.categories = data.dates;
$.each(data.series, function(name, elem) {
options.series.push({
name: name.replace('_', ' ').toUpperCase().trim(),
data: elem
})
});
chart = new Highcharts.Chart(options);
});
The issue here is that even though I have given step as 5 , it is showing dates with 15 dates interval. I mean in xAxis labels. It seems like it will be multiplied by three always. If I give 2, it will show 6 days interval in labels. Everything working fine in a chart which is not using AJAX to load data.

Javascript,Highcharts : Avoiding parallel function calls

I am developing a dashboard, where there are 5 buttons, and on click of each button, corresponding chart is displayed in the same div.
The structure of my code is as follows :
$(document).ready(function(){
$("button").click(function(){
function requestData() {
$.ajax({
url : ....,
success : function(){
.....
//Real Time Plotting of Data
chart.series[0].addPoint(eval(point), true, shift);
setTimeout(requestData, 2000);
}
});
}
chart = new Highcharts.Chart({
chart: {
renderTo: 'chart',
defaultSeriesType: 'spline'
},
....
....
});
});
});
The Problem : On every click of the button, a parallel requestData() starts, multiple parallel threads run at the same time. This leads in random addPoint and increase in memory consumed.
Also, when checked with Highcharts.Chart in the console, after every click, a undefined objects adds up.
How do I restructure the code for optimum performance ?
Refer the code below, your high chart implement can be like this
$(function () {
$(document).ready(function () {
$('#container').highcharts({
chart: {
type: 'spline',
animation: Highcharts.svg, // don't animate in old IE
marginRight: 10,
events: {
load: function () {
// set up the updating of the chart each second
var series = this.series[0];
setInterval(function () {
var x = (new Date()).getTime(), // current time
y = Math.random();
series.addPoint([x, y], true, true);
}, 1000);
}
}
},
title: {
text: 'Live random data'
},
xAxis: {
type: 'datetime',
tickPixelInterval: 150
},
yAxis: {
title: {
text: 'Value'
},
plotLines: [{
value: 0,
width: 1,
color: '#808080'
}]
},
tooltip: {
formatter: function () {
return '<b>' + this.series.name + '</b><br/>' +
Highcharts.dateFormat('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S', this.x) + '<br/>' +
Highcharts.numberFormat(this.y, 2);
}
},
legend: {
enabled: false
},
exporting: {
enabled: false
},
series: [{
name: 'Random data',
data: (function () {
// generate an array of random data
var data = [],
time = (new Date()).getTime(),
i;
for (i = -19; i <= 0; i += 1) {
data.push({
x: time + i * 1000,
y: Math.random()
});
}
return data;
}())
}]
});
});
});
Basically, you do not need to make your arrangement to live plotting, high chart has this option UPDATE
Refer live fiddle
http://jsfiddle.net/anilk/3u0ng35s/
Replace below data option to your ajax call
data: (function () {
// generate an array of random data
var data = [],
time = (new Date()).getTime(),
i;
for (i = -19; i <= 0; i += 1) {
data.push({
x: time + i * 1000,
y: Math.random()
});
}
return data;
}

dynamic highcharts with json data

I m trying to figure it out that is it possible to make the json data fetched dynamically from a database with the help of php and mysql and can be plotted with highcharts that too dynamic auto updating? Any help would be appreciated.
following the code i have tried and is not working properly and want to implement to the the website for 10 lines.

// Create a PHP array and echo it as JSON

var chart = new Highcharts.Chart(options);

The highcharts website has some useful articles about working with dynamic data. That is probably the best place to start.

Try something out, and if you have trouble, come back here with a more specific question showing what you have tried. As it stands, your question is too broad, and will probably get closed.
An ajax request for updating data looks something like:
function requestData() {
$.ajax({
url: 'live-server-data.php',
success: function(point) {
var series = chart.series[0],
shift = series.data.length > 20; // shift if the series is // longer than 20
// add the point
chart.series[0].addPoint(point, true, shift);
// call it again after one second
setTimeout(requestData, 1000);
},
cache: false
});
