How to get a Series by ID or Name Instead of by Index

[Scott Hancock]

I know that I can get a chart series with code like this:

     var chart = document.getElementById("container").ej2_instances[0];

     chart.series[3].visible = document.getElementById("chkTempLow").checked;

But my chart has a dynamic number of series so I don't know the index of the series I want.

Is there any way to find/refer to a series by something other than it's index?

For example:

     chart.series['lowTemp']

     or

     chart.series[getSeriesIndexByID]

Thanks,

Hi Scott, 

Greetings from Syncfusion. 

We have analyzed your query. From that we suggest you to use the below workaround to achieve your scenario by using series name to get series. 

Code Snippet:  

<input id="seriesname" type="text" placeholder="Enter the series name to change color" style="width: 300px;" onchange="GetSeries()" /> 

<ejs-chart id="container" > 

    <e-chart-primaryxaxis valueType="Category"></e-chart-primaryxaxis> 

    <e-series-collection> 

        <e-series dataSource="ViewBag.DataSource" xName="Day" yName="YValue" type="Column" name="Product A" width="2"></e-series> 

        <e-series dataSource="ViewBag.DataSource" xName="Day" yName="YValue2" type="Column" name="Product B" width="2"></e-series> 

        <e-series dataSource="ViewBag.DataSource" xName="Day" yName="YValue3" type="Column" name="Product C" width="2"></e-series> 

    </e-series-collection> 

</ejs-chart> 

 

<script> 

    function GetSeries() { 

        var chart = document.getElementById("container").ej2_instances[0]; 

        var name = document.getElementById('seriesname').value; 

        var series = GetSeriesByName(chart.series, name); 

        series.fill = "Purple"; 

    } 

    function GetSeriesByName(series, name) { 

        for (var i = 0; i < series.length; i++) { 

            if (series[i].name == name) { 

                return series[i]; 

            } 

        } 

        return null; 

    } 

</script>
