Modules

Overview

Modular System is the core of AnyChart 8. It allows you to significantly reduce the size of the JavaScript code running on your web page by connecting only those chart types and features that you actually use. The modular-based AnyChart is perfectly compatible with popular bundling tools such as Webpack, Browserify, and so on.

Basics

First Step

You should always add one of the following modules:

Reference them the <head> section of your page before any other modules:

<script src="https://cdn.anychart.com/releases/8.12.0/js/anychart-core.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdn.anychart.com/releases/8.12.0/js/anychart-bundle.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdn.anychart.com/releases/8.12.0/js/anychart-base.min.js"></script>

The main module, required by all chart types, is Core, the core of the engine. It is included, among other things, in the Base and Bundle modules, so you can also use them instead.

Note: All JS files with modules are stored on the AnyChart CDN server, but you can download any file and place it in another location. Learn more: Downloading AnyChart.

Combining Modules

The Core module should be combined with the modules required by the chart type and features you want to add - see the Chart Modules and Features sections.

For example, to create an exportable Pie chart, combine Core with the Pie and Doughnut and Exports modules:

<head>
  <script src="https://cdn.anychart.com/releases/8.12.0/js/anychart-core.min.js"></script>
  <script src="https://cdn.anychart.com/releases/8.12.0/js/anychart-pie.min.js"></script>
  <script src="https://cdn.anychart.com/releases/8.12.0/js/anychart-exports.min.js"></script>
</head>

The same logic applies to the Base module. However, please note that it already includes some chart types, so you have to reference other modules only if you need to add a chart type that is not included or a feature.

As for Bundle, it includes all other modules except Extensions.

Builder

Custom JavaScript Builder is designed for assembling a JavaScript file that contains only the features and chart types you are really going to use.

To build a custom JavaScript binary, check modules you want to include in the build: specify the chart types you are going to create and add features and themes if you need them. Then press the green "Build" button at the bottom.

You can also build a file that contains your license key. See the Credits article to learn more.

Bundle

The AnyChart Bundle build contains all chart modules and features. It is the biggest file, use it cautiously.
