Printing in ReactJS Chart

6 Jun 20232 minutes to read

The rendered chart can be printed directly from the browser by calling the public method print. ID of the chart div element must be passed as argument to that method.

HTML

<body>
   <button type="button" onclick="print()" ></button> 
<div id="chartcontainer"></div>
<script>
function print() {
var chartObj = $("#chartcontainer").ejChart("instance");
chartObj.print("chartcontainer");
        }
</script>
</body>

HTML

ReactDOM.render(
    <EJ.Chart id="chartcontainer">
            
    </EJ.Chart>,
	document.getElementById('chartcontainer')
);

This print method can be called by performing any action on the web page. For example, by clicking a button. While calling the print method in chart, print preview will be displayed in the browser.
