Highcharts.stockChart: 1) calling conventions from nicegui and 2) documentation

[metaperl]

Hello, there is support for calling highcharts stockChart from nicegui - #284

But my question is it appears that one must supply two arguments to a chart method - type and extras instead of simply having a chart method... i.e.: currently you must do:

chart = ui.chart( .... , type = 'stockChart', extras = ['stock'])

instead of

chart = ui.stock_chart( ... )

are the current calling conventions done to create a 1-to-1 mapping with the highcharts API?

Also: where is the documentation for stockChart?

1. I dont know where to look at the highcharts site
2. The way to call stockChart in NiceGUI is not documented either. There are only a few comments on the chart method with no link to a working example.

The current documentation of ui.chart might be limited, but we can't cover all Highcharts features in our documentation. Therefore there is no dedicated section about Highcharts' stock charts.

Note that the element ui.chart is an entry point for all Highcharts variants, since we didn't want to clutter the ui namespace with too many elements. The section Chart with extra dependencies
shows how to create a different chart type.

1. Kindly update the URL in your reply from http://127.0.0.1:8080/documentation/chart#chart_with_extra_dependencies to https://nicegui.io/documentation/chart#chart_with_extra_dependencies
2. The section Chart with extra dependencies says to use, e.g., Highcharts.stockChart instead, set the type property to "stockChart". ... but is type enough? it appears that one must supply two arguments to a chart method - type and extras

Thanks for the hint; I updated the URL. 🙂
Have you tried adding the "stock" extra? Does it work?
What exactly do you propose? Do you expect the documentation to add a remark about the "stock" extra?

I'll close this discussion because the feature request remains unclear.
