Populate Stock Chart With Data

This section explains how to plot below JSON data to the Stock Chart.

Add a series object to the chart by using series property and then set the JSON data to dataSource property.

Since the JSON contains DateTime data, set the valueType for horizontal axis to DateTime. By default, the axis valueType is Numeric.

<ejs-stockchart id="stockchart" load="stockload">
                <e-stockchart-series-collection>
                    <e-stockchart-series type='Candle' xName='x' name='Apple'> </e-stockchart-series>
                </e-stockchart-series-collection>
            </ejs-stockchart>

    <script>
        var data = chartData;
        function stockload(args) {
            args.stockChart.series[0].dataSource = data;

        }
    </script>
