Updating highcharts dynamically with json response - angularjs

Question

I am trying to draw highcharts with the json response, however I can able to draw for the first time, but unable to update the series with new data
function get_chart(data) {
//alert('hello..' + data);
return {
xAxis: {
type: 'datetime',
labels: {
formatter: function() {
var monthStr = Highcharts.dateFormat('%b', this.value);
var firstLetter = monthStr.substring(0, 1);
return firstLetter;
}
}
},
title: {
text: data.measurementName
},
chart: {
height: 300,
width: 500,
type: 'column',
zoomType: 'x'
},
credits: {
enabled: false
},
plotOptions: {
series: {
cursor: 'pointer',
point: {
events: {
click: function() {
console.log ('Category: '+ this.category +', value: '+ this.y);
}
}
}
}
},
series: [{
name: 'Hours',
data: (function() {
var chart = [{key:data.measurementName, values:[]}];
var i = 0;
if(typeof(data) == 'string')return chart;
for(n in data.values){
data.values[n].snapshot = new Date(data.values[n].snapshot);
data.values[n].value = parseInt(data.values[n].value);
}
chart[0].values = data.values.map(function(arrayObj){
return [arrayObj.value]
});
return chart[0].values;
})()
}]
};
}
and I am calling this function like
$scope.renderChart = function(measurement){
$scope.showChart = false;
restApp.getMeasurementForCompID(comp.id, measurement.id).then(function(data){
console.log(data);
$scope.example_chart = get_chart(data);
console.log($scope.example_chart);
$scope.showChart = true;
});
}
Here getMeasurementForCompID is another function which gets the data from database.
What is the problem here? any help..

I used https://github.com/pablojim/highcharts-ng
I just alter the data object and the highcharts reflects the change.
