Plugins

    Plugins can be shared between chart instances:

    Plugins can also be defined directly in the chart config (a.k.a. inline plugins):

    Plugins can be registered globally to be applied on all charts (a.k.a. global plugins):

    Plugins must define a unique id in order to be configurable.

    • can't start with a dot or an underscore
    • can't contain any non-URL-safe characters
    • can't contain uppercase letters

    Plugin options

    Plugin options are located under the options.plugins config and are scoped by the plugin ID: options.plugins.{plugin-id}.
