Try asking the question over in the users mailing list where others may have
dealt with similar situations. It’s a discussion worth having.
Parameterising options to static JS wrapping Kendo components might be too
onerous - I don’t know. The closest I’ve come to it is parameterising for
HighCharts, which I balked at initially but later found it’s actually not too
bad. I wrote a separate static JS script for each style of chart that I wanted
to produce, and each one has slightly different options.
Here’s an example, just in case it helps. The static JS script in it produces a
3D chart from 1 data series. The other scripts will have slightly different
params.
void afterRender() {
JSONObject params = new JSONObject();
params.put("id", chartContainer.getClientId());
params.put("showLegend", false);
JSONArray categories = new JSONArray();
JSONArray series0 = new JSONArray();
for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
if (i < evaluations.size()) {
categories.put(formatDefault(evaluations.get(i).getStartAt().toLocalDate()));
series0.put(deNullForJSONArray(toInteger(evaluations.get(i).getSomethingOrOther())));
}
else {
categories.put("");
series0.put(JSONObject.NULL);
}
}
params.put("categories", categories);
params.put("series0Values", series0);
params.put("yAxisTitle",
messages.get(“something-or-other-axis-label"));
JSONArray yAxisLabels = new JSONArray();
yAxisLabels.put(toLabel(YesSlightNos.N));
yAxisLabels.put(toLabel(YesSlightNos.S));
yAxisLabels.put(toLabel(YesSlightNos.Y));
params.put("yAxisLabels", yAxisLabels);
params.put("yAxisFloor", 0);
params.put("yAxisCeiling", 2);
params.put("yAxisMinRange", 3);
params.put("yAxisTickInterval", 1);
javaScriptSupport.require("components/report/highcharts/ClassicOneSeries3DHighChart")
.invoke("init").with(params);
}
