How config the HighChart with nuxt ui-Theme?

I’m working with Highcharts and Nuxt UI. How can I apply the Nuxt UI style through the plugins/highcharts.client.js file? Is it possible to use the color mode here—especially for switching between dark and white (light) themes? Below is my current highcharts.client.js:

import Highcharts from 'highcharts';
import HighchartsVue from 'highcharts-vue';


export default defineNuxtPlugin((nuxtApp) => {
    console.log('Highcharts plugin loaded'); // Debugging-Log

    Highcharts.setOptions({
        chart: {
            // styledMode: true,
            backgroundColor: '#f0f0f0', // Hintergrundfarbe
            style: {
                fontFamily: 'Arial, sans-serif' // Schriftart
            }
        },
        title: {
            style: {
                color: '#333333',
                fontSize: '20px'
            }
        },
        xAxis: {
            labels: {
                style: {
                    color: '#333333',
                    fontSize: '12px'
                }
            }
        },
        yAxis: {
            labels: {
                style: {
                    color: '#333333',
                    fontSize: '12px'
                }
            },
            title: {
                style: {
                    color: '#333333',
                    fontSize: '14px'
                }
            }
        },
        tooltip: {
            backgroundColor: 'rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.85)',
            style: {
                color: '#333333',
                fontSize: '12px'
            }
        },
        plotOptions: {
            series: {
                dataLabels: {
                    style: {
                        color: '#333333',
                        fontSize: '12px'
                    }
                }
            }
        }

Hi @ninox023. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave: ---------------------- To configure Highcharts with Nuxt UI theming and support color mode switching, you can leverage the useColorMode composable from @nuxtjs/color-mode module, which is included in Nuxt UI. Here's how you can modify your plugins/highcharts.client.js file to achieve this:

import Highcharts from 'highcharts';
import HighchartsVue from 'highcharts-vue';
import { useColorMode } from '#imports';

export default defineNuxtPlugin((nuxtApp) => {
  console.log('Highcharts plugin loaded');

  const updateChartTheme = (isDark) => {
    const theme = isDark ? {
      backgroundColor: '#1a1a1a',
      textColor: '#e0e0e0',
      lineColor: '#707073',
      tickColor: '#707073',
    } : {
      backgroundColor: '#ffffff',
      textColor: '#333333',
      lineColor: '#e6e6e6',
      tickColor: '#e6e6e6',
    };
Highcharts.setOptions({
      chart: {
        backgroundColor: theme.backgroundColor,
        style: {
          fontFamily: 'Arial, sans-serif'
        }
      },
      title: {
        style: {
          color: theme.textColor,
          fontSize: '20px'
        }
      },
      xAxis: {
        labels: {
          style: {
            color: theme.textColor,
            fontSize: '12px'
          }
        },
        lineColor: theme.lineColor,
        tickColor: theme.tickColor
      },
      yAxis: {
        labels: {
          style: {
            color: theme.textColor,
            fontSize: '12px'
          }
        },
        title: {
          style: {
            color: theme.textColor,
            fontSize: '14px'
          }
        },
        gridLineColor: theme.lineColor
      },
      tooltip: {
        backgroundColor: isDark ? 'rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.85)' : 'rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.85)',
        style: {
          color: theme.textColor,
          fontSize: '12px'
        }
      },
      plotOptions: {
        series: {
          dataLabels: {
            style: {
              color: theme.textColor,
              fontSize: '12px'
            }
          }
        }
      }
    });
  };

  const colorMode = useColorMode();
  
  // Initial theme setup
  updateChartTheme(colorMode.value === 'dark');

  // Watch for color mode changes
  watch(() => colorMode.value, (newColorMode) => {
    updateChartTheme(newColorMode === 'dark');
  });

  nuxtApp.vueApp.use(HighchartsVue);
});

import Highcharts from 'highcharts';
import HighchartsVue from 'highcharts-vue';
import { useColorMode } from '#imports';

export default defineNuxtPlugin((nuxtApp) => {
  console.log('Highcharts plugin loaded');

  const updateChartTheme = (isDark) => {
    const theme = isDark ? {
      backgroundColor: '#1a1a1a',
      textColor: '#e0e0e0',
      lineColor: '#707073',
      tickColor: '#707073',
    } : {
      backgroundColor: '#ffffff',
      textColor: '#333333',
      lineColor: '#e6e6e6',
      tickColor: '#e6e6e6',
    };
Highcharts.setOptions({
      chart: {
        backgroundColor: theme.backgroundColor,
        style: {
          fontFamily: 'Arial, sans-serif'
        }
      },
      title: {
        style: {
          color: theme.textColor,
          fontSize: '20px'
        }
      },
      xAxis: {
        labels: {
          style: {
            color: theme.textColor,
            fontSize: '12px'
          }
        },
        lineColor: theme.lineColor,
        tickColor: theme.tickColor
      },
      yAxis: {
        labels: {
          style: {
            color: theme.textColor,
            fontSize: '12px'
          }
        },
        title: {
          style: {
            color: theme.textColor,
            fontSize: '14px'
          }
        },
        gridLineColor: theme.lineColor
      },
      tooltip: {
        backgroundColor: isDark ? 'rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.85)' : 'rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.85)',
        style: {
          color: theme.textColor,
          fontSize: '12px'
        }
      },
      plotOptions: {
        series: {
          dataLabels: {
            style: {
              color: theme.textColor,
              fontSize: '12px'
            }
          }
        }
      }
    });
  };

  const colorMode = useColorMode();
  
  // Initial theme setup
  updateChartTheme(colorMode.value === 'dark');

  // Watch for color mode changes
  watch(() => colorMode.value, (newColorMode) => {
    updateChartTheme(newColorMode === 'dark');
  });

  nuxtApp.vueApp.use(HighchartsVue);
});

This modified plugin does the following: 1. It imports the useColorMode composable from Nuxt. 2. Defines an updateChartTheme function that sets Highcharts options based on whether dark mode is active or not. 3. Uses the useColorMode composable to get the current color mode. 4. Sets the initial theme based on the current color mode. 5. Sets up a watcher to update the Highcharts theme whenever the color mode changes. This approach allows your Highcharts to automatically switch between light and dark themes in sync with your Nuxt UI theme. To ensure this works correctly, make sure you have properly set up color mode in your Nuxt config. You can refer to the Nuxt UI documentation on dark mode for more details. Remember that this plugin should be client-side only (as indicated by the .client.js extension in your file name) since it uses browser-specific APIs. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

Unfortunately, it doesn't work. I have now reduced it to the bare minimum. I just want the background to be adjusted according to the theme. Can you create a highcharts.client.js file for me? @kapa.ai Unfortunately, it doesn't work. I have now reduced it to the bare minimum.

kapa.ai•2d ago

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books: ---------------------- I apologize for the confusion in my previous answer. Let's create a simplified version of the highcharts.client.js file that focuses solely on adjusting the background color based on the theme. Here's a minimal implementation:

import Highcharts from 'highcharts';
import HighchartsVue from 'highcharts-vue';
import { useColorMode } from '#imports';

export default defineNuxtPlugin((nuxtApp) => {
  console.log('Highcharts plugin loaded');

  const colorMode = useColorMode();

  const updateChartTheme = () => {
    const backgroundColor = colorMode.value === 'dark' ? '#1a1a1a' : '#ffffff';

    Highcharts.setOptions({
      chart: {
        backgroundColor: backgroundColor
      }
    });
  };

  // Initial theme setup
  updateChartTheme();

  // Watch for color mode changes
  watch(() => colorMode.value, () => {
    updateChartTheme();
  });

  nuxtApp.vueApp.use(HighchartsVue);
});

import Highcharts from 'highcharts';
import HighchartsVue from 'highcharts-vue';
import { useColorMode } from '#imports';

export default defineNuxtPlugin((nuxtApp) => {
  console.log('Highcharts plugin loaded');

  const colorMode = useColorMode();

  const updateChartTheme = () => {
    const backgroundColor = colorMode.value === 'dark' ? '#1a1a1a' : '#ffffff';

    Highcharts.setOptions({
      chart: {
        backgroundColor: backgroundColor
      }
    });
  };

  // Initial theme setup
  updateChartTheme();

  // Watch for color mode changes
  watch(() => colorMode.value, () => {
    updateChartTheme();
  });

  nuxtApp.vueApp.use(HighchartsVue);
});

This simplified version does the following: 1. Imports the necessary modules, including useColorMode from Nuxt. 2. Defines an updateChartTheme function that only sets the background color based on the current color mode. 3. Calls updateChartTheme initially to set the correct background color when the plugin loads. 4. Sets up a watcher to update the background color whenever the color mode changes. 5. Registers the HighchartsVue plugin with the Nuxt app. Make sure this file is placed in your plugins directory and named highcharts.client.js. To ensure that the color mode is working correctly, double-check that you have properly set up the @nuxtjs/color-mode module in your Nuxt configuration. You can refer to the Nuxt UI documentation on dark mode for more details on setting up color mode. If you're still experiencing issues, it might be helpful to add some console logs in the updateChartTheme function to verify that it's being called and that the color mode is changing as expected. For example:

const updateChartTheme = () => {
  console.log('Updating chart theme, color mode:', colorMode.value);
  const backgroundColor = colorMode.value === 'dark' ? '#1a1a1a' : '#ffffff';
  console.log('Setting background color to:', backgroundColor);

  Highcharts.setOptions({
    chart: {
      backgroundColor: backgroundColor
    }
  });
};

const updateChartTheme = () => {
  console.log('Updating chart theme, color mode:', colorMode.value);
  const backgroundColor = colorMode.value === 'dark' ? '#1a1a1a' : '#ffffff';
  console.log('Setting background color to:', backgroundColor);

  Highcharts.setOptions({
    chart: {
      backgroundColor: backgroundColor
    }
  });
};

These logs can help you debug and ensure that the plugin is working as intended. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

@kapa.ai I dont get any logs. Maybe I need to modify my nuxt.config.ts?

// https://nuxt.com/docs/api/configuration/nuxt-config
export default defineNuxtConfig({
  extends: ['@nuxt/ui-pro'],

  modules: [
    '@nuxt/eslint',
    '@nuxt/fonts',
    '@nuxt/ui',
    '@vueuse/nuxt',
    '@nuxtjs/supabase',
    'nuxt-highcharts',
  ],

  supabase: {
    redirect: false
  },

  devtools: {
    enabled: true
  },

  colorMode: {
    disableTransition: true
  },

  ui: {
    safelistColors: ['primary', 'red', 'orange', 'green']
  },

  routeRules: {
    // Temporary workaround for prerender regression. see https://github.com/nuxt/nuxt/issues/27490
    '/': { prerender: true }
  },

  future: {
    compatibilityVersion: 4
  },

  compatibilityDate: '2024-07-11',

  typescript: {
    strict: false
  },

  eslint: {
    config: {
      stylistic: {
        commaDangle: 'never',
        braceStyle: '1tbs'
      }
    }
  }
})

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books: ---------------------- Based on your nuxt.config.ts file and the issue you're experiencing with not getting any logs, there are a few things we can adjust to help troubleshoot and potentially resolve the problem: 1. First, let's ensure that your Highcharts plugin is being loaded correctly. Add the following to your nuxt.config.ts:

export default defineNuxtConfig({
  // ... other configurations
  plugins: [
    { src: '~/plugins/highcharts.client.js', mode: 'client' }
  ],
  // ... rest of your config
})

export default defineNuxtConfig({
  // ... other configurations
  plugins: [
    { src: '~/plugins/highcharts.client.js', mode: 'client' }
  ],
  // ... rest of your config
})

This explicitly tells Nuxt to load your Highcharts plugin on the client side. 2. For debugging purposes, let's enable more verbose logging. Add the following to your nuxt.config.ts:

export default defineNuxtConfig({
  // ... other configurations
  debug: true,
  // ... rest of your config
})

export default defineNuxtConfig({
  // ... other configurations
  debug: true,
  // ... rest of your config
})

This will enable more detailed debug logs, which might help identify any issues. You can refer to the Nuxt Configuration documentation for more information on the debug option. 3. Ensure that your color mode configuration is correct. You already have a colorMode section, but let's adjust it slightly:

export default defineNuxtConfig({
  // ... other configurations
  colorMode: {
    preference: 'system', // default value of $colorMode.preference
    fallback: 'light', // fallback value if not system preference found
    hid: 'nuxt-color-mode-script',
    globalName: '__NUXT_COLOR_MODE__',
    componentName: 'ColorScheme',
    classPrefix: '',
    classSuffix: '-mode',
    storageKey: 'nuxt-color-mode'
  },
  // ... rest of your config
})

export default defineNuxtConfig({
  // ... other configurations
  colorMode: {
    preference: 'system', // default value of $colorMode.preference
    fallback: 'light', // fallback value if not system preference found
    hid: 'nuxt-color-mode-script',
    globalName: '__NUXT_COLOR_MODE__',
    componentName: 'ColorScheme',
    classPrefix: '',
    classSuffix: '-mode',
    storageKey: 'nuxt-color-mode'
  },
  // ... rest of your config
})

This configuration ensures that the color mode is properly set up and should work with your Highcharts plugin. You can find more details about these options in the Nuxt UI documentation on dark mode. 4. Make sure you're not using SSR (Server-Side Rendering) for pages that include Highcharts, as Highcharts is a client-side library. You can do this by adding ssr: false to the specific pages that use Highcharts or globally in your nuxt.config.ts if your entire app is client-side:

export default defineNuxtConfig({
  // ... other configurations
  ssr: false,
  // ... rest of your config
})

export default defineNuxtConfig({
  // ... other configurations
  ssr: false,
  // ... rest of your config
})

After making these changes, try running your Nuxt application again. You should see more detailed logs in the console, including the "Highcharts plugin loaded" message from your plugin. If you're still not seeing any logs, there might be an issue with how your plugin is being loaded or executed. In that case, you might want to try moving the console.log to the top of your plugin file, outside of the defineNuxtPlugin function, to see if it's being executed at all:

console.log('Highcharts plugin file loaded');

export default defineNuxtPlugin((nuxtApp) => {
  // ... rest of your plugin code
});

console.log('Highcharts plugin file loaded');

export default defineNuxtPlugin((nuxtApp) => {
  // ... rest of your plugin code
});

This should help identify whether the issue is with the plugin loading or with the execution of the code inside the plugin. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

@kapa.ai Where can I find all the theme-setups incl. colors, fonts etc. for nuxt.ui?

kapa.ai•2d ago

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books: ---------------------- To configure the theme settings including colors, fonts, and other UI elements for Nuxt UI, you can use the app.config.ts file in your Nuxt project. This file allows you to customize various aspects of the UI theme. Here's where you can find information about theme setup for Nuxt UI: 1. Nuxt UI Theming Documentation This documentation provides comprehensive information on how to customize the look and feel of Nuxt UI components. It covers: - Colors configuration - Dark mode setup - CSS variables - Component customization 2. Nuxt UI Pro Theming Documentation For Nuxt UI Pro users, this page offers additional theming options, including: - Variables for background and foreground colors - Header height customization - Icon overrides Here's an example of how you can set up theme-related configurations in your app.config.ts file:

export default defineAppConfig({
  ui: {
    primary: 'green',
    gray: 'slate',
    font: {
      sans: 'DM Sans',
      mono: 'DM Mono'
    },
    variables: {
      light: {
        background: '255 255 255',
        foreground: 'var(--color-gray-700)'
      },
      dark: {
        background: 'var(--color-gray-900)',
        foreground: 'var(--color-gray-200)'
      },
      header: {
        height: '4rem'
      }
    },
    icons: {
      dark: 'i-heroicons-moon-20-solid',
      light: 'i-heroicons-sun-20-solid'
    }
  }
})

export default defineAppConfig({
  ui: {
    primary: 'green',
    gray: 'slate',
    font: {
      sans: 'DM Sans',
      mono: 'DM Mono'
    },
    variables: {
      light: {
        background: '255 255 255',
        foreground: 'var(--color-gray-700)'
      },
      dark: {
        background: 'var(--color-gray-900)',
        foreground: 'var(--color-gray-200)'
      },
      header: {
        height: '4rem'
      }
    },
    icons: {
      dark: 'i-heroicons-moon-20-solid',
      light: 'i-heroicons-sun-20-solid'
    }
  }
})

This configuration allows you to set the primary color, gray shade, fonts, light/dark mode variables, and custom icons. Remember that you can further customize individual components by overriding their specific configurations in the same ui object. For more detailed information on each aspect of theming, I recommend referring to the documentation links provided above. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------
