How to represent date array in java script for highcharts

I want to represent data include dates on highcharts dynamically(get from database) how can I do this?
assume this is my static data
series: [{
data: [[Date.parse('7/7/2017'),222],[Date.parse('9/9/2019'),333]],
pointStart: Date.parse('7/7/2017'),
pointInterval: 24 * 3600 * 1000 // one day
}]
});
how can I create this array([[Date.parse('7/7/2017'),222],[Date.parse('9/9/2019'),333]]) in java script dynamically and how can I pass it to series element in highcharts.

Here you go, i have prepare chart for you, from your data.
var initialData = [{
"name": "sales",
pointStart: Date.parse('7/7/2017'),
pointInterval: 24 * 3600 * 1000,
tickInterval: 24 * 3600 * 1000,
data: [[Date.parse('8/7/2017'),222],[Date.parse('9/7/2017'),333],[Date.parse('11/7/2017'),333]]}];
var chart = new Highcharts.Chart({
chart: {
renderTo: 'container',
defaultSeriesType: 'area',
},
xAxis: {
type: 'datetime',
tickmarkPlacement: 'on',
showFirstLabel: true,
showLastLabel: true,
endOnTick: true,
// second: '%H:%M:%S',
dateTimeLabelFormats: {
day: '%d. %b',
month: '%b \'%y',
year: '%Y'
},
labels: {
formatter: function() {
return Highcharts.dateFormat('%d %b %Y', this.value);
}
}
//,tickInterval : null
},
yAxis: {
},
legend: {
enabled: true
},
plotOptions: {
area: {
fillOpacity: .5,
marker: {
radius: 4
},
stacking: 'normal'
}
},
series: initialData
});
<script src="http://code.highcharts.com/highcharts.src.js"></script>

Zoom option in Highchart not working for large amount of data

I need to create a highchart with jquery. I have given the Zoom type as x. The Zoom option in chart is not working when there are large amount of data.
In my X-Axis I will be having date value :
Below is my chart implementation:
// Global chart options
Highcharts.setOptions({
chart: {
borderRadius: 0,
borderWidth: 1,
borderColor: '#DADCE0',
marginRight: 45,
zoomType: 'x',
width: 600,
height: 400
},
credits: {
enabled: false
},
xAxis: {
type: 'datetime',
minRange: 8 * 24 * 3600000,
labels: {
format: '{value:%m-%d-%Y}', //'{value:%m-%d-%Y}'
rotation: 45
}
},
plotOptions: {
series:{
fillOpacity:0.1
},
spline: {
marker: {
enabled: false,
symbol: 'circle',
radius: 2,
states: {
hover: {
enabled: true
}
}
},
lineWidth: 1,
threshold: null
},
area: {
marker: {
enabled: false,
symbol: 'circle',
radius: 2,
states: {
hover: {
enabled: true
}
}
},
lineWidth: 1,
threshold: null
}
},
global: {
useUTC: false
}
});
var chartJobCount = new Highcharts.Chart({
chart: {
renderTo: 'container-segementReport',
type: 'areaspline'
},
colors: ['#0D4F8B','#00CCFF', '#ff0000', '#ff69b4','#663399','#ffa500','#006400','#654321'],
title: {
text: 'Segments (Classic)'
},
yAxis: {
title: {
text: 'Production Ratio'
},
labels: {
formatter: function () {
return Highcharts.numberFormat(this.value, 0, '', ',');
}
}
},
tooltip: {
formatter: function () {
return '<b>' + this.series.name + ' </b> <br/> Date : <b>' + Highcharts.dateFormat('%m-%d-%Y', this.x) + ' </b> <br/> Production Ratio: <b>' + this.y + '</b>';
}
},
series: getProductionRatio() --// This function will get the data for series
});
When I try to zoom the chart, the contents present in the chart gets hided.
Is there anything that needs to taken care in the point interval for X-Axis ?
Thanks in Advance !

Highcharts: X axis, MySQL datetime

I cannot get highcharts to recognize my timestamps, they are in javascript date format.
Tried many different approaches, but cannot get it to work when both the data and time array's are seperate.
Fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/SjL6F/
$(function () {
Highcharts.setOptions({
lang: {
thousandsSep: ''
}
});
$('#container').highcharts({
title: {
text: 'Temperature - Last 24 hours',
},
credits: {
enabled: false
},
subtitle: {
text: "Test Site",
x: -20
},
xAxis: {
type: 'datetime',
labels: {
enabled: true
},
categories: time,
tickInterval: 3600 * 1000,
dateTimeLabelFormats: {
day: '%e of %b'
}
},
yAxis: [{
title: {
text: 'Temperature (\u00b0C)'
},
plotLines: [{
value: 0,
width: 1,
color: '#808080'
}]
}],
tooltip: {
shared: true
},
series: [{
name: 'Temperature',
data: temp,
type: 'line',
tooltip: {
valueSuffix: ' C'
},
marker: {
enabled: false
}
}]
});
});
Highcharts just shows the raw javascript date value.

You are setting categories, which isn't datetime type for xAxis. Remove them, then concat time and temp arrays.
For example:
var concatenatedData = [];
$.each(time, function(i, e){
concatenatedData.push([parseInt(e), temp[i]]);
});
Demo:
http://jsfiddle.net/SjL6F/1/
Note: I have added parseInt, because Highcharts requires timestamps to be numbers, not strings.

highcharts: epoch time not properly connected to Xaxis

When i have inconsistent data coming in (when for example the server that gathers the data is down) highcharts does not plot the X correctly.
It still plots like there is data on the X while there is not.
It should afcouse plot the correct hour when there actually is data.
Here is the fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/ZVwFK/
Data variable is inconsistant!
Can someone show me how i can correct this error?

There are two ways of specifying time data for Highcharts and I think you are using the wrong way for the problem. It's the second style you should use when having gaps in the data.
A compact array without gaps only containing the values for each time-point
data: [2, 5, 3, 6, 1]
Then you specify the time-point for the first measure together with the interval. eg:
pointStart: Date.UTC(2013,1,12), // start point in milliseconds
pointInterval: 3600 // interval in milliseconds
You cannot have different length between the time-points this way.
A two dimensional array with both time-points and measure
data: [[Date.UTC(2013,1,12), 2],
[Date.UTC(2013,1,12), 5],
[Date.UTC(2013,1,12), 3],
...]
This way of specifying the array can have gaps where there's no data.
See the reference here
and example here.

Highchart crashing with multiple Y axis

My highchart crashes chrome, when i add the 2nd serie.
Cannot see Chrome console to debug.. :(
Does anyone have an idea?
$(function () {
var chart;
$(document).ready(function() {
chart = new Highcharts.Chart({
chart: {
renderTo: 'container',
type: 'line',
margin: [40,10,60,80],
},
title: {
text: 'Temperature Today'
},
xAxis: {
type: 'datetime',
dateTimeLabelFormats: {
day: '%H:%M'
},
tickInterval: 3600 * 1000,
labels: {
rotation: -45,
align: 'right',
style: {
fontSize: '10px',
fontFamily: 'Verdana, sans-serif'
}
},
},
yAxis: {
title: {
text: 'Temperature'
},
minorGridLineWidth: 0,
/* gridLineWidth: 0, */
/* alternateGridColor: null */
},
tooltip: {
formatter: function() {
return ''+
Highcharts.dateFormat('%H:%M', this.x) +': '+ this.y;
}
},
plotOptions: {
spline: {
lineWidth: 4,
states: {
hover: {
lineWidth: 3
}
},
marker: {
enabled: false,
states: {
hover: {
enabled: true,
symbol: 'circle',
radius: 3,
lineWidth: 1
}
}
},
}
},
series: [{
name: 'Temperature',
data: temp,
type: 'line',
showInLegend: false,
pointInterval: 60 * 1000,
pointStart: Date.UTC(2006, 0, 1),
marker: {
enabled: false
},
dashStyle: 'solid',
yAxis: 0,
xAxis: 0,
} , {
name: 'Humdity',
data: hum,
yAxis: 1,
xAxis: 0,
showInLegend: false,
type: 'line',
}],
navigation: {
menuItemStyle: {
fontSize: '6px'
}
}
});
});
});

You only have one yAxis, so it breaks because you set the second serie to display into the second one( yes, that's what yAxis: 1 means ).
Remove it or create the second yAxis.
Update:
Use yAxis: 0 the reffer the first and 1 to the second.
Missing , after } on line 36 of jsfiddle.
Store data before.
