Create URL For Custom Chart

To use your custom chart code with the TS or Playground you need to genrate a https url because we are rendering chart inside a iframe. For this tutorial we will be using ngrok to expose our localhost application to the internet.

Ways of genrating URLs​

  • Set up a secure web hook using ngrok to expose your localhost application to the internet, This we will be using in tutorial for faster development process.
  • Deploy your application on a web server such as vercel or github pages.

You can do this at end of turorial. With the help of steps provided here

Using ngrok​

  • If you haven't already, download and install ngrok from its official website.

  • Authenticate ngrok with your account

    ngrok authtoken YOUR_AUTH_TOKEN

  • Go to your vite project and start the project

    npm run dev

  • In a new terminal window, run ngrok and specify the port used by your Vite app (default is 5173).

    ngrok http 5173

  • After deployment u will get url like this: ngrok output

Deploy your chart​

If the chart creation is successful, you can host it on a server and make it available for use:

To deploy your charts, you can use Vercel, Netlify, or any server that can render an HTML page. For information, see Vite documentation for vercel.

To deploy the chart on a test domain in Vercel, install Vercel CLI and run the following command:

vercel;

For more information about Vercel deployment, see Vercel documentation.
