Change architecture to use charting model until end of pipeline and then draw

Open gionkunz opened this issue 9 years ago • 2 comments

We should change the architecture of Chartist so that it works with a model of chart elements and wait with drawing until the last step in the pipeline. This would give us several benefits:

  • Performance
  • More flexible for different rendering adapters (server side, image export etc.)
  • Easier to reason about
  • Solve some chicken / egg problems (plugins can modify the model before the chart has been drawn)

wondering what the status of this issue is; am mostly interested in using chartist in node as per #780, which is closed but perhaps not implemented yet?

Wanted to use this nice lib as well in an electron app and will have to finde another one because of this blocker. 😢
