Set Highcharts map width to 100% and height to a fix value

Hello,

I'm trying to set a map's width to 100% (the parent element has a width across the whole screen, so 100vw) but limit the height to 250px. However, the map always defaults back to the 600px width.

I'm not setting a width in the chart options but only the height of 250px.

Code: Select all

this.chartOptions = { chart: { height: 250, ... }, ... }
How do I get the chart's width to adjust to the container size?

Hello littlerave!
Thanks for contacting us with your question!

I was trying to reproduce your problem, but in my case, everything is working correctly. I see, that you are using this.chartOptions so I assume, you are using an angular and I have prepared a simple demo using Angular. I set width to 100vw, height to 250px and zoom to a random location to show that the map is stretched to the width. Could you reproduce your issue in an online editor? You can use my demo.

Demo: https://stackblitz.com/edit/highcharts- ... map-xkuxec

I am looking for your response.
Regards!

Thank you for your reply. Your assumption is correct, I'm using angular. If I set the 100vw as inline style to the <highcharts-chart> element, it does work. Is there a way to set the width in my scss files instead of inline?

littlerave,

You can add these lines to your SCSS file:

Code: Select all

highcharts-chart {
  width: 100vw;
  display: block;
}
and import SCSS files in component, like this:

Code: Select all

@Component({
  selector: 'my-app',
  templateUrl: './app.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./app.component.scss'],
})
You can check the working demo below.

Feel free to ask any further questions.
Kind regards!
