Highstocks-Rails

This gem just includes Highstocks as an asset in the Rails 3.1 (or newer) asset pipeline.

The gem currently uses Highstock 2.1.5

What is Highstock?

Highstock lets you create stock or general timeline charts in pure JavaScript, including sophisticated navigation options like a small navigator series, preset date ranges, date picker, scrolling and panning.

Highstock is not free for commercial use, so make sure you have a valid license to use Highstocks.

Will including this gem also give Higcharts features?

The answer is here in this link: Yes, all features of Highcharts are included in Highstock.

Here is a Sample Application showing the usage and also plotting both highstocks and highcharts. 👍

Installation

Add the gem to the Gemfile:

gem "highstocks-rails"    

Usage
