Provide a way of changing the theme without the need of explicit injection of the entire theme

[gatapia]

I think it would be great to be able to change the chart themes using highcharts-angular without requiring copy/paste of the entire theme file from the node_modules folder.

Something like adding the theme js file in the scripts array of the angular.json file would be great. This currently does not work.

Themes should be possible to load the same way as a module based on the file structure - https://unpkg.com/highcharts@6.2.0/themes/dark-unica.js (here's how a theme looks when loaded from NPM/NodeJS), so use this docs: https://github.com/highcharts/highcharts-angular#to-load-a-module

You need entire theme to set it, half of it will only apply half of the changes - I probably missed something in your comment, please provide more info for the issue.

Just tried this and it works as expected. Thanks, and apologies for redundant issue, perhaps add to documentation. Asked on stackoverflow and no one seemed to know either.

Ok, thank's for the suggestion.

Marking the issue as an enhancement suggestion.

To-do list:

• required: add docs for adding themes - FAQ sections
• optional: ?styled mode info in docs - FAQ section?

In the next release of highcharts, we will publish themes as scss files in the npm.

Hi everyone..I'm trying to apply an existing theme in Highcharts but I just don't understand How to do this...For example, in "node_modules/highcharts/js/es-modules/themes/", there is multiple themes. If I want to use one of them (for example, dark-unica.js) in my custom component, How can I do it ?

Thank you in advance for you answer

Instructions given above by @KacperMadej is the way. I also updated my question stackoverflow with instructions
