Create a heatmap using Yii2 highcharts widget - highcharts

Question

I am trying to adapt a highcharts heatmap from raw coding to the Yii2 plugin by Milos Schuman. Area and line charts are working but there is not an example of using heatmap and I tried almost everything.
This is the code as shown in highcharts demo:
$(function () {
$('#container').highcharts({
chart: {
type: 'heatmap',
},
title: {
text: 'Sales per employee per weekday'
},
xAxis: {
categories: ['Alexander', 'Marie', 'Maximilian', 'Sophia', 'Lukas', 'Maria', 'Leon', 'Anna', 'Tim', 'Laura']
},
yAxis: {
categories: ['Monday', 'Tuesday', 'Wednesday', 'Thursday', 'Friday'],
},
series: [{
name: 'Sales per employee',
borderWidth: 1,
data: [[0, 0, 10], [0, 1, 19], [0, 2, 8], [0, 3, 24], [0, 4, 67], [1, 0, 92], [1, 1, 58], [1, 2, 78], [1, 3, 117], [1, 4, 48], [2, 0, 35], [2, 1, 15], [2, 2, 123], [2, 3, 64], [2, 4, 52], [3, 0, 72], [3, 1, 132], [3, 2, 114], [3, 3, 19], [3, 4, 16], [4, 0, 38], [4, 1, 5], [4, 2, 8], [4, 3, 117], [4, 4, 115], [5, 0, 88], [5, 1, 32], [5, 2, 12], [5, 3, 6], [5, 4, 120], [6, 0, 13], [6, 1, 44], [6, 2, 88], [6, 3, 98], [6, 4, 96], [7, 0, 31], [7, 1, 1], [7, 2, 82], [7, 3, 32], [7, 4, 30], [8, 0, 85], [8, 1, 97], [8, 2, 123], [8, 3, 64], [8, 4, 84], [9, 0, 47], [9, 1, 114], [9, 2, 31], [9, 3, 48], [9, 4, 91]],
dataLabels: {
enabled: true,
color: '#000000'
}
}]
});
});
And a sample of Area chart using the Yii2 widget:
use miloschuman\highcharts\Highcharts;
echo Highcharts::widget([
'options' => [
'title' => ['text' => 'Fruit Consumption'],
'xAxis' => [
'categories' => ['Apples', 'Bananas', 'Oranges']
],
'yAxis' => [
'title' => ['text' => 'Fruit eaten']
],
'series' => [
['name' => 'Jane', 'data' => [1, 0, 4]],
['name' => 'John', 'data' => [5, 7, 3]]
]
]
]);

Answer 1

The problem basically is that in case of a heatmap chart it is required to specify that the heatmap module is needed before the options description like that:
'scripts' => [
'modules/heatmap', // adds heatmap support
],
That is a working sample based on the highcharts demo:
$heatmap_options = [
'scripts' => [
'modules/heatmap', // adds heatmap support
],
'options' => [
'title' => ['text' => 'Sales per employee per weekday'],
'chart' => [
'type' => 'heatmap'
],
'xAxis' => [
'categories' =>['Alexander', 'Marie', 'Maximilian', 'Sophia', 'Lukas', 'Maria', 'Leon', 'Anna', 'Tim', 'Laura']
],
'yAxis' => [
'categories' => ['Monday', 'Tuesday', 'Wednesday', 'Thursday', 'Friday']
],
'colorAxis' =>[
],
'series' => [[
'name' => 'Sales per employee',
'borderWidth' => 1,
'data' => [[0, 0, 10], [0, 1, 19], [0, 2, 8], [0, 3, 24], [0, 4, 67], [1, 0, 92], [1, 1, 58], [1, 2, 78], [1, 3, 117],
[1, 4, 48], [2, 0, 35], [2, 1, 15], [2, 2, 123], [2, 3, 64], [2, 4, 52], [3, 0, 72], [3, 1, 132], [3, 2, 114],
[3, 3, 19], [3, 4, 16], [4, 0, 38], [4, 1, 5], [4, 2, 8], [4, 3, 117], [4, 4, 115], [5, 0, 88], [5, 1, 32], [5, 2, 12],
[5, 3, 6], [5, 4, 120], [6, 0, 13], [6, 1, 44], [6, 2, 88], [6, 3, 98], [6, 4, 96], [7, 0, 31], [7, 1, 1], [7, 2, 82],
[7, 3, 32], [7, 4, 30], [8, 0, 85], [8, 1, 97], [8, 2, 123], [8, 3, 64], [8, 4, 84], [9, 0, 47], [9, 1, 114], [9, 2, 31],
[9, 3, 48], [9, 4, 91]],
'dataLabels' => [
'enabled' => true,
'color' => '#000000'
]
]
]
]
];
echo Highcharts::widget($heatmap_options);
