How to call a function inside the Apexcharts Events with angular component?

Question

I am using apexcharts angular library for graphical representation of my data. I want to trigger another function when i click on the bar. This is my configuration for bar charts.

this.chartOptions = {
      series: [
        {
          name: "basic",
          data:[25,30,35,40]
        }
      ],
      chart: {
        type: "bar",
        height: 350,
        
        events: {
          click(event, chartContext, config) {
            console.log(config.seriesIndex);
            console.log(config.dataPointIndex);
            //this.getStates(config.dataPointIndex);
            var test: number = config.dataPointIndex;
            console.log(config.globals.labels[test]);
            this.getStates(test);
          }
        }
      },
      plotOptions: {
        bar: {
          horizontal: true
        }
      },
      dataLabels: {
        enabled: false
      },
      xaxis: {
        categories: ["India","Pakistan","USA","England"]
      }
    }

Here, getStates is a function that i want to trigger when i click on any bar in charts.

Can someone please reply how to call that function?

You could pass in an arrow function as the callback to preserve the meaning of this keyword.

chart: {
  type: "bar",
  height: 350,
  events: {
    click: (event: any, chartContext: any, config: any) => {
      this.getStates(config.dataPointIndex);

      console.log(config.seriesIndex);
      console.log(config.dataPointIndex);
      var test: number = config.dataPointIndex;
      console.log(config.globals.labels[test]);
      this.getStates(test);
    }
  }
}

You could find more info about the meaning of this keyword in callback here.
