chart.type

Configuration Structure

chart: {
  type: 'line' | 'area' | ...,
}

The type option selects which kind of chart ApexCharts renders. It is the single most important chart option: each value maps to a dedicated chart type with its own behavior and plotOptions. It is part of the chart configuration.

Default: 'line'

Added in 7.1.0:

Types that render through another type's engine

Several chart.type values are presets over a base renderer rather than renderers of their own. ApexCharts rewrites chart.type to the pathway it routes through and records what you asked for on chart.requestedType, which is read-only.

You setRenders through
'funnel', 'pyramid', 'histogram''bar'
'waterfall', 'dumbbell''rangeBar'
'streamgraph''rangeArea'
'raincloud''violin'
'gauge''radialBar'
'waffle''unit'

This matters in two places: the entry point you import when tree-shaking is the base one, and a chart.type read back off a rendered chart is the base type, not the alias.
