Highcharts Pie Chart data formatting

Question

I have a Pie Chart that gets its data from the file. In raw form, this is the data:

[{"name":"Dual","load":"20"},{"name":"Gas","load":"35"},{"name":"Other_Fossil_Fuels","load":"15"},{"name":"Nuclear","load":"12"},{"name":"Hydro","load":"8"},{"name":"Wind","load":"10"},{"name":"Other_Renwables","load":"10"}]

I am trying to make a method that formats this data correctly so that it can be used in the pie chart. However only the Names come through correctly, with all of the percentages set to 0. I have a feeling that it is because the raw data is saved as a String. But using parseInt() on the data before pushing doesn't help and the === check returns num. Here is the code i am trying to implement.

function setPieData(data){
    var json = JSON.parse(data); 
    var fuelTypes = [{name: 'Dual',load:[]},
                    {name: 'Gas', load:[]},
                    {name: 'Other_Fossil_Fuels', load:[]},
                    {name: 'Nuclear', load: []},
                    {name: 'Hydro', load: []},
                    {name: 'Wind', load: []},
                    {name: 'Other_Renwables', load:[]}];

    for(i=0; i < json.length; i++){
        if(json[i].name == fuelTypes[i].name){

            fuelTypes[i].load.push(parseInt(json[i].load));

        }
        if(fuelTypes[i].load === parseInt(fuelTypes[i].load, 10)){
            alert("not num");
        }else{
            alert("num");
        }
    }

    drawChart(fuelTypes);
}

function drawChart(stuff){
    var globalDate = new Date();
    var dMth = globalDate.getMonth() + 1;
    var dDay = globalDate.getDate();
    var dYr = globalDate.getFullYear();
    var dStr = dMth + '/' + dDay + '/' + dYr;
    title = "Real-time Fuel Mix " + dStr;

    var seriesData= stuff;



    Highcharts.setOptions({
         colors: ['#C00000', '#FF0000', '#7F7F7F', '#FFC000', '#4F81BD', '#00B050', '#92D050']
        });
    $('#container').highcharts({
        chart: {
            plotBackgroundColor: null,
            plotBorderWidth: null,
            plotShadow: false,
            type: 'pie'
        },

        title: {
            text: title
        },
        tooltip: {
            pointFormat: '{series.name}: <b>{point.percentage:.1f}%</b>'
        },
        plotOptions: {
            pie: {
                allowPointSelect: true,
                cursor: 'pointer',
                dataLabels: {
                    enabled: true,
                    format: '<b>{point.name}</b>: {point.percentage:.1f} %',
                    style: {
                        color: (Highcharts.theme && Highcharts.theme.contrastTextColor) || 'black'
                    }
                },
                showInLegend: true
            }
        },
        series: [{
            name: "MI Power",
            colorByPoint: true,
            data: stuff
        }]

Answer 1

create an Array and push your data like following

 var dataPie =[]; 
 var abc =your data //your json
 $.each(abc,function(i,el)
 {
  dataPie.push({name :el.name,y: parseInt(el.load)});
});

use dataPie in your drawChart function.
