Attr initialization for data-series-defaults-type

[Michael]

I can't seem to initialize the chart's seriesDefaults.type property by using data attributes:

data-series-defaults-type="line"

Should this work, or am I doing something wrong?

Hello Michael,

I have already replied to your support ticket which contained the same question, however I am pasting my answer here too so the other users who are interested in the same scenario can read it: 

In order to initialize the seriesDefaults property via the data attributes you can use the following: 

<div id="chart" data-role="chart" data-series-defaults="{ type: 'line' }" //...></div>

Great, thank you!!  I've been roaming through your documentation for lots of things in the past week, and I really don't remember seeing this at all, but maybe it's there somewhere.  I never would have even thought to try the syntax you gave.  Just as a suggestion, I would love to see the following added to your documentation for every single property and event on your objects:

-Whether declarative binding is supported (because I'm finding some give an error that they are not supported).
-A clear example of how to setup the declarative binding for that particular property/event.

Thanks again!

Hi Michael,

Thank you for the feedback - we really appreciate it. As for the suggestions - we will definitely consider them. I agree that our documentation is not complete, however creating it is an ongoing process which is with high priority for us.

What about the documentation? This Thread is nearly 2 years old and I sill can't find any documentation about:
 data-role="chart"
 data-legend="{ position: 'bottom' }"
 data-series-defaults="{ type: 'line' }"
data-series....

BR,
