I would create some basic directive (isolate scope) that receives chart settings and use as template:
<div id="container"></div>
In addition we can write several watchers to listen on user actions.
Here is working example How to use it:
(Its not based on your settings but you can use the same flow)
Demo Fiddle
Directive
myapp.directive('myElem',
function () {
return {
restrict: 'E',
replace:true,
scope: {
config: '='
},
template: '<div id="container" style="min-width: 310px; height: 400px; margin: 0 auto"></div>',
link: function (scope, element, attrs) {
var chart = false;
var initChart = function() {
if (chart) chart.destroy();
var config = scope.config || {};
chart = new Highcharts.Chart(config);
if(config.loading) {
chart.showLoading();
}
};
initChart();
scope.$watch('config.loading', function (loading) {
if(loading) {
chart.showLoading();
} else {
chart.hideLoading();
}
});
scope.$watch('config.series[0].type', function (type) {
chart.series[0].update({type: type});
});
scope.$watch('config.series[0].dataLabels.enabled', function (enableDataLabels) {
chart.series[0].update({dataLabels: {enabled: enableDataLabels}});
});
}//end watch
}
}) ;
The usage:
<my-elem config="chartConfig"> </my-elem>
[EDIT]
Demo 2 FIddle
HTML
<div>
<my-elem ></my-elem>
</div>
JS
var myapp = angular.module('myModule', []);
myapp.directive('myElem',
function () {
return {
restrict: 'E',
replace:true,
template: '<div id="chartdiv" style="min-width: 310px; height: 400px; margin: 0 auto"></div>',
link: function (scope, element, attrs) {
var chart = false;
var initChart = function() {
if (chart) chart.destroy();
var config = scope.config || {};
chart = AmCharts.makeChart("chartdiv", {
