Highcharts SeriesType - Create new series type

[James Ong]

I'm trying to implement 'mappie' from http://jsfiddle.net/gh/get/library/pure/highcharts/highcharts/tree/master/samples/maps/demo/map-pies/

Specifically, I'm having trouble trying to include in the new mappie series type and kept encountering Highcharts Error 17 The requested series type does not exist (https://www.highcharts.com/errors/17)

I've tried to create the new series type like so ...

export default (function(H) {
    H.seriesType('mappie', 'pie', {
    ...

import Mappie from './MappieHighmaps';
Mappie(ReactHighcharts.Highcharts);

componentDidUpdate(prevProps, prevState) {
        ...
        let chart = this.refs.mapChart.getChart();
        ReactHighcharts.Highcharts.each(chart.series[0].points, function (state) {
            ...
            // Add the pie for this state
            chart.addSeries({
                type: 'mappie',
            ...

But it's not working. Could you please advise on how to proceed creating this new series type?
