Using the library with online code playgrounds

It is possible to use our hosted library bundles on a few select code playground / online editors (such as JSFiddle). This document provides guidance on how to correctly configure the library for these sites when using our hosted library files. Please see the starter templates below to get started quickly with a working example which you can use to create your own examples, produce bug reproductions, or experiment with the library.

  • See Hosting Library Cross Origin for more information on how to use the library when the html page and the library bundles aren't on the same origin.

How to setup​

The latest version of the libraries are hosted on the following domains:

  • https://charting-library.tradingview-widget.com
  • https://trading-terminal.tradingview-widget.com

  1. Select one of the domains listed above depending on whether you are creating an example for the Advanced Charts or the Trading Platform. The following steps will use the https://charting-library.tradingview-widget.com domain.

  2. Within the head of your html file you can load the standalone versions of the library and the demo data-feed implementation with the following script tags:

    <script
       type="text/javascript"
       src="https://charting-library.tradingview-widget.com/charting_library/charting_library.standalone.js"
    ></script>
    <script
       type="text/javascript"
       src="https://charting-library.tradingview-widget.com/datafeeds/udf/dist/bundle.js"
    ></script>

  3. The library_path property in the widget constructor options should be set to charting_library sub folder of the domain of choice, for example:

    library_path: 'https://charting-library.tradingview-widget.com/charting_library/',

Supported sites​

Currently, the use of the hosted library files is only supported on the following sites:

Attempting to use the library files hosted by tradingview-widget.com on any other origin will result in a CORS error which will prevent the chart from loading correctly.

Note​

  • The library files hosted by tradingview-widget.com will always be the latest version available on the charting_library GitHub repository 🔐 (access is restricted) on the master branch. If you would like to use a specific version then you should rather link to your hosted library files (and ensure that your server allows CORS for the code playground site of your choice).
  • Please note that the demo charts and study template storage server (http://saveload.tradingview.com) isn't compatible with requests from any origin except localhost and tradingview.com. Attempting to use this server from any other origin will still result in a CORS error.
  • When specifying a custom css file via the custom_css_url widget constructor option, be aware that the css url should be specified relative to the library_path option. Have a look at the Themed Advanced Charts example for a working example.
