Now, here we will import HighchartsChartComponent from highcharts-angular and then we add on declarations part. so let's update app.module.ts file as like bellow:

src/app/app.module.ts

import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { HighchartsChartComponent } from 'highcharts-angular';
   
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
   
@NgModule({
  declarations: [
    AppComponent,
    HighchartsChartComponent
  ],
  imports: [
    BrowserModule
  ],
  providers: [],
  bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule { }

Step 4: Use Highcharts

Here, we will update app.component.ts file here, in this file we will create data json array and pass to highcharts option variable.

You can also use services for getting dynamic data using api. you can see example here for creating services if you want: How to create new service in Angular?.

You can update as bellow app.component.ts file.

src/app/app.component.ts

import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import * as Highcharts from 'highcharts';
   
@Component({
  selector: 'app-root',
  templateUrl: './app.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./app.component.css']
})
export class AppComponent {
    title = 'myHighchart';
   
    data = [{
            name: 'ItSolutionStuff.com',
            data: [500, 700, 555, 444, 777, 877, 944, 567, 666, 789, 456, 654]
         },{
            name: 'Nicesnippets.com',
            data: [677, 455, 677, 877, 455, 778, 888, 567, 785, 488, 567, 654]
         }];
   
    highcharts = Highcharts;
    chartOptions = {   
      chart: {
         type: "spline"
      },
      title: {
         text: "Monthly Site Visitor"
      },
      xAxis:{
         categories:["Jan", "Feb", "Mar", "Apr", "May", "Jun", "Jul", "Aug", "Sep", "Oct", "Nov", "Dec"]
      },
      yAxis: {          
         title:{
            text:"Visitors"
         } 
      },
      series: this.data
    };
}

Step 5: Display Highcharts

Here, we will update html file as like bellow, so update it as like bellow:

src/app/app.component.html

<h1>Angular Highcharts Example - ItSolutionStuff.com</h1>
   
<highcharts-chart
   [Highcharts] = "highcharts" 
   [options] = "chartOptions" 
   style = "width: 100%; height: 400px; display: block;">
</highcharts-chart>

Now you can run angular app:

Run Angular App:
