[Question] How to update attribute/properties dynamically from Component Script?
Question
We have a use case where we want to insert charts dynamically using Highcharts Editor. I have created a component, which on drag and drop, opens a modal based and based on user's selection, returns a SVG image. I am wondering how can I add it to the model's body. Right now I am using innerHTML to insert but the getHTML does not have the SVG image as part of div. Code for component:
domc.addType('charts-component', {
model: {
defaults: {
tagName: 'div',
script,
js: '',
svg: '',
attributes: {
class: 'highcharts',
},
'script-props': ['js', 'svg'],
},
init() {
this.on('change:js', this.handleJSChange);
this.on('change:svg', this.handleSVGChange);
this.on('change:attributes', this.handleAttrChange);
},
handleJSChange() {
console.log('JS Changed');
this.addAttributes({ js: this.props().js });
},
handleSVGChange() {},
handleAttrChange() {
console.log(this.getAttributes());
},
},
view: {},
});
Also I want to set the JS output of highcharts editor as attribute to the div(or, is there a way, I can add it to component but not render it, but be able to retrieve it by getHTML), is there a way I can dynamically add it? Tried listening to the properties on change event but looks like it is not getting triggered if I change it from inside script.
My script method to call Highcharts:
const script = function (properties) {
try {
var modal = highed.ModalEditor(
function (chart) {
var html = chart.export.svg();
var elements = document.getElementsByClassName('highcharts');
elements[0].innerHTML = html;// I understand I have to do things a tad bit differently if I want to add multiple charts.
elements[0].setAttribute('js', chart.export.js());
properties.js = chart.export.js();
}
);
modal.show();
} catch (err) {
console.log(err);
}
};

You don't need components with JS in this case (in your final code you don't execute any JS), is enough for you something like this:
domc.addType('charts-component', {
view: {
events: {
dblclick: 'onActive', // in order to reopen the modal on double click
},
onActive() {
const { model } = this; // model is the component
const modal = highed.ModalEditor(({ export }) => {
// use `content` for static stuff, the editor will render it without transforming the HTML/SVG in components
model.set({ content: export.svg(), js: export.js() });
}).show();
// I don't know the API but I guess you should recall the previous data somehow
// eg. .show({ data: model.get('js') })
}
},
});
Sorry for spamming. I was not able to upload usecase video from my work laptop.

@artf Any help here will be appreciated. I went through the docs again and nothing stands out, which I could be missing.
