for example:

// render the echarts component below with rel
<ReactEcharts ref={(e) => { this.echarts_react = e; }}
  option={this.getOption()} />

// then get the `ReactEcharts` use this.echarts_react

let echarts_instance = this.echarts_react.getEchartsInstance();
// then you can use any API of echarts.
let base64 = echarts_instance.getDataURL();

About API of echarts, can see http://echarts.baidu.com/api.html#echartsInstance.

You can use the API to do:

  1. binding / unbinding event.
  2. dynamic charts with dynamic data.
  3. get the echarts dom / dataURL / base64, save the chart to png.
  4. release the charts.

5. Q & A

  • How to render the chart with svg when using echarts 4.x

Use the props opts of component with renderer = 'svg'. For example:

<ReactEcharts
  option={this.getOption()}
  style={{height: '300px'}}
  opts={{renderer: 'svg'}} // use svg to render the chart.
/>
