Using tooltip managed by ODS Charts with Boosted 4 renderer fails

    // Register the externalization of the tooltip/popup
    this.themeManager.externalizePopover(
      {},
      ODSCharts.ODSChartsPopoverManagers.BOOSTED4
    );

Reduced test cases

    at BOOSTED4_Definition._getOrCreatePopupInstance (ods-charts.js:2229:1)

I'm closing this bug as it no longer seems relevant. It has probably been solved at Docs: isolate charts in <iframe>s #173

Sorry but i think an explanation of Boosted dependency in the documentation is missing.
Just installed last week ODS in my project, and without Boosted, i had to disable externalizePopover to make it works

You're absolutely right, the documentaion is largely perfectible.

Just to be sure, do you use Boosted or not on your project?

Because the library also works without Boosted.

You can use :

• for graph layout
  • ODS Charts only
  • Boosted 5
  • Boosted 4
• to display a popover or tooltip :
  • Apache Echarts rendering customized for ODS by ODS Charts
  • Boosted 4 or 5 rendering

If your problem came from this misunderstanding, the bug is probably more a bug of incomplete documentation.

Let me know,

I am in a Nuxt project, with Boosted loaded by a Nuxt plugin, but it seems not injected directly in the page, boosted main global variable is not accessible.

ReferenceError: boosted is not defined at BOOSTED5_Definition._getOrCreatePopupInstance (ods-charts.js?v=70f8a3e3:2293:80)

[jacques-lebourgeois]

So, there is probably a bug, you are right.

In the meantime, you can still use ODS Charts popovers and tooltips by using Apache ECharts and ODS Charts rendering.

To do this, you need to specify the renderer ODSChartsPopoverManagers.NONE as the second parameter of the externalizePopover

themeManager.externalizePopover({ }, 
  ODSCharts.ODSChartsPopoverManagers.NONE
);

Unfortunately, the documentation doesn't make this very clear. But you can find this setting in the example pages of the online configurator by choosing "Apache ECharts rendrerer" as "Popover Renderer"

Ok nice.
I think it should be mentionned in the main README. It is more clear here. In the API documentation it is also relevant, but the design is more visually cluttered.
