Thank you for the tip, Echarts looks very nice !! But can you create live charts with it ?

Hi Roberto

I heard about echarts on a podcast, it just seemed a bit overkill compared to what I need to implement, I will give it a second look.

Take care

Hi,
In Mojolicious i have a html with echarts js code and I fill in the data variable and few others I need, through the stash. Very efficient in my use case.
By the way, in my opinion, Echarts can be an interesting solution for a Perl programmer to create high quality plots. Unfortunately a good/modern and complete plotting module is one of the things that Perl lacks.
Best regards

Hi Roberto, you mean as in server side rendering. I must admit I am not to the approach your outline of having the rendering done by the client, having the Mojolicious (or similar) service only deliver the raw data.

Guess I have been in the MVC-sphere for too long :-)

No, no sorry :) I meant that I have a template I fill on server with data for Echarts. The data are then embedded in the html. So all is done server side and I serve a self standing html
