Hi @etpinard thanks for the response

Here is my code block..I am calling myPlot.on after Plotly.newPlot

  this.constructPlotData();
  this.plotHeading = this.donutInput.plotHeading;
  this.plotContainerId = this.donutInput.containerId;
  setTimeout( () => {
    Plotly.newPlot(this.plotContainerId, this.plotdata, this.ploylayout,{displayModeBar: false});
    let myPlot = document.getElementById(this.plotContainerId);
    myPlot.on('plotly_click', function(data){
      console.log(data.points[0].label);
    });
  },1);

from plotly.js.

I am trying to use it angular 2 project but it is returning the error
Property 'on' does not exist on type 'HTMLElement'.

let myPlot = document.getElementById('donutChartHigh');
myPlot.on('plotly_click', function(data){
console.log(data.points[0].label);
});

from plotly.js.

Think it is more of a compilation error. But your code will work. If you are concerned on the error. You can create a child class for ES6 HTMLElement class. Add the below code above in your component.

class CustomHTMLElement extends HTMLElement {
  constructor() {
    super();
  }
  on(event_type, cb) {
  }
}

And type cast in element selection

let myPlot = <CustomHTMLElement>document.getElementById(this.plotContainerId);
