Highcharts, initially created as a simple charting tool for monitoring snow depth, has evolved into a popular visualization library known for its interactive features and ease of use. This tutorial demonstrates how to build an e-commerce dashboard using Cube.js and Highcharts, incorporating various Highcharts modules such as Maps, Stock, and Solid Gauge. Despite some parts being outdated, the guide outlines the process of setting up a PostgreSQL database with Cube.js as the backend and creating a React-based frontend application. It explains the use of Cube's data schema for multidimensional analysis and guides users through the steps of generating and configuring the necessary components. The tutorial also explains how to use the Highcharts API for rendering charts, with a focus on setting static chart options, adding data, and passing it to the Highcharts component. The complete source code and a live demo are available online for further exploration.
