ChartSerializer – amCharts 5 Documentation

Type class

Serializes a whole chart, with its axes, series, data and legends, into a config that JsonParser builds the chart from again. Unlike Serializer, by default it writes states and adapters, keeps adapter callbacks as functions, and goes 10 levels deep.

Sources

ChartSerializer can be used (imported) via one of the following packages.

// Import ChartSerializer
import * as am5plugins_json from "@amcharts/amcharts5/plugins/json";

am5plugins_json.ChartSerializer.new(root, {
  // ... config if applicable
});

<!-- Load ChartSerializer -->
<script src="plugins/json.js">

<script>
// Create ChartSerializer
am5plugins_json.ChartSerializer.new(root, {
  // ... config if applicable
});
</script>

Inheritance

ChartSerializer extends Serializer.

ChartSerializer is not extended by any other symbol.

Settings

Set these settings on a ChartSerializer object using its set() and setAll() methods.

Read about settings concept.

animations #	Type `Array` Inherited from `IEntitySettings` Animations the element plays on its own, described as data - so they can be set from a JSON config and saved with it. Each one animates a setting of the element (or, with `target: "dataItem"`, a value of its data item - a map point's `positionOnLine`, say). They start when the setting is applied, restart when it changes, and stop when the element is disposed. A saved config keeps what was configured, never a value caught half way through an animation. sprite.set("animations", [ { key: "rotation", to: 360, duration: 4000, loops: 0 }, { key: "scale", from: 1, to: 1.3, duration: 800, loops: 0, yoyo: true, easing: "sine" } ]); @since 5.20.8
excludeProperties #	Type `Array` Inherited from `ISerializerSettings` Properties to leave out of the output, e.g. `"data"`. @since 5.3.2
excludeSettings #	Type `Array` Inherited from `ISerializerSettings` Settings to leave out of the output. Ignored when `includeSettings` is set.
fullSettings #	Type `Array` Inherited from `ISerializerSettings` Settings whose plain-object values are written with all their keys. In other settings, a plain object comes out empty. @since 6.4.3
functionsAs #	Type `"string"` \| `"function"` Default `"string"` Inherited from `ISerializerSettings` How adapter callbacks are written (see `includeAdapters`): `"string"` as their source code, `"function"` as the functions themselves, which JSON can't hold. `ChartSerializer` uses `"function"` unless set.
id #	Type `undefined` \| `string` Inherited from `IEntitySettings` A unique ID for looking the element up in `root.entitiesById`. Setting an ID that another element already has throws an error.
ignoreThemes #	Type `undefined` \| `false` \| `true` Default `false` Inherited from `IEntitySettings` Ignores themes: no theme rule applies to the element, not even one of the default theme. @since 5.15.6
includeAdapters #	Type `undefined` \| `false` \| `true` Default `false` Inherited from `ISerializerSettings` Writes the elements' adapters. @since 5.15.0
includeRoot #	Type `undefined` \| `false` \| `true` Default `false` Adds a `root` section with what was configured on the `Root`, such as its settings, formatters and locale. @since 5.20.2
includeSettings #	Type `Array` Inherited from `ISerializerSettings` The only settings to write; all others are left out.
includeStates #	Type `undefined` \| `false` \| `true` Default `false` Inherited from `ISerializerSettings` Writes the elements' states. @since 5.15.0
maxDepth #	Type `undefined` \| `number` Default `2` Inherited from `ISerializerSettings` How many levels of nested objects to write; deeper ones are left out.
removeEmptyObjects #	Type `undefined` \| `false` \| `true` Default `true` Leaves empty objects out of the output.
runningAnimations #	Type `undefined` \| `false` \| `true` Default `true` Inherited from `ISerializerSettings` Write an animation started in code that loops forever - a globe that keeps turning, a marker that keeps pulsing - into the `animations` setting, so the saved chart plays it too. Animations that end (`appear()`, state changes, zooming) are never written, and neither is one whose easing is a function of its own rather than one of amCharts' easings. @since 5.21.0
stateAnimationDuration #	Type `undefined` \| `number` Default `0` Inherited from `IEntitySettings` How long, in milliseconds, a switch from one state to another animates. `0` switches at once.
stateAnimationEasing #	Type `$ease.Easing` Default `out(cubic)` Inherited from `IEntitySettings` Easing of the animated switch from one state to another.
themeTags #	Type `Array` Inherited from `IEntitySettings` Tags that theme rules can target. They also count for the element's children, so a rule can match a child by a tag of its parent. Click here for more info
themeTagsSelf #	Type `Array` Inherited from `IEntitySettings` Tags that theme rules can target, like `themeTags`, but only for this element, not its children. Click here for more info
themes #	Type `Array` Inherited from `IEntitySettings` Themes applied to the element and everything inside it.
userData #	Type `any` Inherited from `IEntitySettings` Any data of your own to keep with the element.
