This add-on provides a Highcharts wrapper for Vaadin 7 and 8 similar to HighCharts - Vaadin Add-on Directory. In contrast to Vaadin Charts this add-on does not provide a fancy Java API to configure charts. Instead it basically provides a chart component with a method that allows you to set Highcharts JavaScript code to configure the chart. This is especially useful if you want to create charts based on templates.
The new add-on version also allows to dynamically update the chart via the method “manipulateChart”. Moreover, it allows you to listen to Highcharts events and to call user-defined server functions. For more details about how to manipulate charts and listen to events take a look at the demo and the demo source code (highcharts-vaadin7/src/test/java/org/vaadin/highcharts/HighChartDemoUI.java at master · xylo/highcharts-vaadin7 · GitHub).
Note that you require a separate Highcharts license to use this add-on unless you use it only in a non-profit project. See Buy Highcharts License | Highcharts Online Shop for more information.
