Add priceline events support
I have a project where I need to be able to react to clicks on pricelines.
I know I can add a new priceline and setup several of its options but I need to be able to remove it when the user clicks on it.
Also I would like to be able to change the cursor or show a floating pane when the user hovers over a priceline so the user can see information about that price. Obviously, the code for the floating pane would be custom code, not something integrated in the library.
I guess this could be achieved if MouseEventParams
interface is updated with a property hoveredPriceLine
. This way simply by calling chart.subscribeClick(param)
and chart.subscribeCrosshairMove(param)
we could implement the required logic.
We already have the field to store a hovered marker id
https://github.com/tradingview/lightweight-charts/blob/d4863ffc1c0988b2d9b03744d28bdfbdc2ca989e/src/api/ichart-api.ts#L53-L56
These ids can be provided via optional fileld
https://github.com/tradingview/lightweight-charts/blob/d4863ffc1c0988b2d9b03744d28bdfbdc2ca989e/src/model/series-markers.ts#L33-L36
Probably we can add an additional optional field id
in PriceLineOptions
and rename the field hoveredMarkerId
to hoveredObjectId
so we can provide not only a marker id but a custom price line id too
I like @kirchet suggestion, it leaves place for future expansion.
