Feature request: Render chart without DOM

[ahoyahoy]

Hi there,

I've been trying to use the library in Node.js to render the graph as a string.
I also experimented with jsdom, but encountered numerous obstacles and couldn't get it to work.

If the library is framework-agnostic, would it be possible to add a variant where features like ResizeObserver, event listeners, etc., are not required?

Something like this would be very helpful.

const SvgElem = new XYContainerStatic({
    width: 800,
    height: 300,
    classnames: 'xy',
    components: [line],
    xAxis: new Axis(),
    yAxis: new Axis(),
  }, data);

Thanks for the feedback @ahoyahoy!

I've been thinking about implementing this feature for over a year. Unfortunately, we don't have the bandwidth for it right now, but if you're interested in exploring it, I can help you run the Unovis development environment (it'll be pretty easy) and show you the parts of the code you might need to update.

If not, I'm sure we'll add support for server-side rendering at some point, but I don't know when.

@rokotyan thanks! :)
If I get to it before you do, I'll let you know.

@rokotyan I'm looking for a way to export a graph in .png or .svg format. Any advice?

@n-bes You can try using dom-to-image https://github.com/tsayen/dom-to-image or html2canvas https://github.com/niklasvh/html2canvas
