ilueckel opened a new issue #13755: URL: https://github.com/apache/incubator-echarts/issues/13755
### What problem does this feature solve? The `init` function returns a class of type `ECharts`. This works fine as long as you use the chart variable right after initalization. ```ts import {init, EChartsOption} from "echarts"; ... export class BaseChart { initChart() { const chart = init(nativeElement); // do something else with the chart. } } ``` But all typings get lost, when you want to pass the chart around (e.g. for updating data later on) ```ts import {init, EChartsOption} from "echarts"; ... export class BaseChart { const chart: ECharts; // <--- This does not work. You can it make `any`, but then all typings are lost; initChart() { this.chart = init(nativeElement); // do something else with the chart. } } ``` The TypeScript definitions do not export the `ECharts` class ```ts import {ECharts} from "echarts" // <---- This is not possible ``` ### What does the proposed API look like? Extend the exports in TypeScript. Something like this: ``` export { ECharts, EChartsFullOption as EChartsOption, connect, disConnect, dispose, getInstanceByDom, getInstanceById, getMap, init, registerLocale, registerMap, registerTheme }; ``` <!-- This issue is generated by echarts-issue-helper.
