Click event on yAxis Gantt Highcharts

Question

I am new in javascript, so building this Gantt Highcharts is a complete new world for me. I could create successfully the Gantt Chart, but now we need to add a click event on the y axis Labels (the category names Cat1, Cat2, Cat3 bellow).

We tried adding under the Y-axis/labels/events a funcion for 'click' but nothing happens.

Do you have a clue on what might it be, please?

Answer 1

The axis label click event is not directly available from the API. However, you can use the customEvents module to achieve this. Simply attach the following module to your code or obtain it from npm.

<script src="https://blacklabel.github.io/custom_events/js/customEvents.js"></script>
