Implementation

Within the front-end, charts are a re-usable module that can be configured in the chart catalog, programmatically included in pages but also embedded in articles using a markdown format.

Charts are defined in two modes: Custom chart and Model chart.

Custom charts are configurable in the CMS.

Model charts are defined by entities traced from data sources. They are one of the building blocks for the creation of the data space.

Chart embedding in articles

Both chart modes can be embedded in articles through a custom HTML dom element.
