I’m new to Javascript and it took me a while to realize the SciChart JS is front-end library that runs on browser. I thought it could be deployed to the back-end with node.js until running into errors.
Is SciChart JS only support front-end? With the tutorial provided, the bundle.js is visible to the users, including the license key. Is it how it designed? Or I missed something fundamental? Is it possible to make it back-end? Thanks.

Hi Gang Xu
At the moment SciChart is a client-side library and cannot be deployed in a server-side environment. We do have solutions to render charts server-side which we can integrate to your applications on a consultancy basis but not as part of the core SciChart.js product.
If you have a feature request and want to leave us some detail, please use the Feature Request system on the right of the website ->
Please put your features in here with details about what you want to do and why, as that helps us decide the roadmap.
Thanks!
Best regards,
Andrew

Thanks for the clarification. I can try to transfer data from backend to frontend for rendering charts. Just out of curiosity, does development team have concerns of licence-key security?

Try using our Builder API to create a JSON Chart definition on server side & then sending that definition to the client for rendering. It will allow you to control charts, data, chart configuration and theme from the server: https://www.scichart.com/documentation/js/current/webframe.html#Intro%20to%20the%20Builder%20API.html

Regarding runtime licensing security. The license key only works on your domain so cannot be used on anyone else’s website.
