There's a problem in that story! Right now clicking "Highlight Random Sample" doesn't work properly because right after dispatching the
"highlight"
event to ECharts, it also updates a local state, which re-renders the chart, and the highlight get clobbered. I was going to fix this issue by wrapping the chart inmemo
, but that's not a proper solution.memo
is only a performance optimization, we can't rely on it to maintain uncontrolled chart state for us.The correct solution is to use
useEffect
, which is designed for this exact scenario: synchronizing a local React state with something that React doesn't control.
