For users who are using the Chart Field and want to incorporate information from the entity into the chart (rather than needing to alter the Chart form), we should pass the entity and the field name to the Chart element.
The API doesn't change, but now you can access the entity (i.e. node) like this:
function MYMODULE_chart_definition_alter(array &$definition, array $element, $chart_id) {
if ($element['#chart_library'] === 'highcharts') {
// Add a caption based on a field on your node containing a Chart field.
$node = $element['#entity'];
if ($node instanceof \Drupal\node\NodeInterface && $node->hasField('field_caption')) {
$definition['caption']['text'] = $node->field_caption->value ?? '';
}
}
}
