Display start and end date range in timeseries LineChart using HighCharts - highcharts

Question

I have a simple line chart where I am trying to display time series data which have start and end. Like this
{"beginTimeSeconds": 1626145840, "endTimeSeconds": 1626232240, "totalTimeInSeconds": 0, "uri": "/logout"}
However, as per HighChart config timeseries only accept one timestamp like this.
Highcharts.chart('container', {
chart: {
zoomType: 'x'
},
xAxis: {
type: 'datetime'
},
yAxis: {
title: {
text: 'test'
}
},
legend: {
enabled: false
},
series: [{
type: 'line',
name: 'Test',
data: [
[1167609600000, 0.7537], // Only one timestamp
[1167696040000, 0.7537] // Only one timestamp
]
}]
});
Is there any way to pass range so that tooltip shows Start date - end date followed by value.

Answer 1

So by default in Highcharts, your point contains 4 main attributes which you can specify. Its x and y value, its name, and color. API reference: https://api.highcharts.com/highcharts/series.line.data
If you'd like your point to have some more attributes you can add them and e.g use one of them in the tooltip. Something like that: https://jsfiddle.net/BlackLabel/k49z8mv0/
Highcharts.chart('container', {
chart: {
zoomType: 'x'
},
xAxis: {
type: 'datetime'
},
yAxis: {
title: {
text: 'test'
}
},
legend: {
enabled: false
},
tooltip: {
formatter: function() {
return 'Point value is: ' + this.y + '<br/>The total time in Second
equals: ' + this.point.totalTimeInSeconds + '<br/>' +
Highcharts.dateFormat('%Y-%m-%d', this.point.beginTimeSeconds) + ' -
' + Highcharts.dateFormat('%Y-%m-%d', this.point.endTimeSeconds);
}
},
series: [{
type: 'line',
name: 'Test',
data: [{
x: 1167609600000,
y: 0.7537,
beginTimeSeconds: 1626145840,
endTimeSeconds: 1626232240,
totalTimeInSeconds: 0
},
{
x: 1167696040000,
y: 0.7537,
beginTimeSeconds: 1626145840,
endTimeSeconds: 1626232240,
totalTimeInSeconds: 1
}
]
}]
});
If that doesn't answer your question please precise what the issue is.
