Challenges

We cannot use options directly like this, it causes type error
  1. const options = {  
  2.   title: {  
  3.     text: 'My chart'  
  4.   },  
  5.   series: [{  
  6.     data: [1, 2, 3]  
  7.   }]  
  8. }  
Instead we use this 
  1. const options: Highcharts.Options = {  
  2.   title: {  
  3.     text: 'My chart'  
  4.   },  
  5.   series: [{  
  6.     data: [1, 2, 3]  
  7.   }]  
  8. }  
  Importing statement looks like below
  1. import drilldown from 'highcharts/modules/drilldown';
  2. import * as Highcharts from 'highcharts';  
  3. import HighchartsReact from 'highcharts-react-official';  
  4. drilldown(Highcharts)  
Because in every sample available javascript is defined as,
  1. import Highcharts from 'highcharts';(Here no default export available so its causes error)  
For drilleddown  we have to specify type:undefined for every data,or else it causes error,
  • Sample Output 
  • Normal PieChart
  • Drilldown Chart
