skip to Main Content

I’m working with Highcharts on a React view. For accessibility and SEO reasons, I want to customize the desc tag, but I couldn’t figure out how to do it looking in the documentation. Highcharts automatically inserts a desc tag like this:

<desc>Created with Highcharts 6.2.0</desc>

Is there any way to change this or is this hard-coded?

  1. You can use this solution:

    (1) Create a fork from https://github.com/highcharts/highcharts

    (2) Change the content what hard-coded from

    <desc>Created with Highcharts 6.2.0</desc>
    

    to

    <desc>foo bar baa</desc>
    

    (3) Install npm package from GitHub directly

    npm install https://github.com/<username>/<repository>/tarball/master

  2. You can modify the <desc> tag by wrapping H.SVGRenderer.init method:

    H.wrap(H.SVGRenderer.prototype, 'init', function(proceed) {
        proceed.apply(this, Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments, 1));
    
        this.box.children[0].innerHTML = 'Custom description';
    
    });
