With one item in the data, y axis shows proper number.
Nothing shows up in the chart. It shows only x and y axis, but nothing inside the chart. What needs to be done to display data in the chart?
When I add second item in the data, y axis changes and shows 0 to 1. Why is this happening?
import Chart from 'chart.js/auto'
import 'chartjs-adapter-date-fns';
const timeScaleChart = () => {
const data = [
{ year: "2022-05-01", count: 30, borderColor: "red", backgroundColor: 'blue' },
{ year: "2026-05-01", count: 40, borderColor: "red", backgroundColor: 'blue' },
];
new Chart(
document.getElementById('timeline'),
{
type: 'line',
options: {
plugins: {
title: {
text: 'Chart.js Time Scale',
display: true
}
},
scales: {
x: {
type: 'time',
time: {
unit: 'day'
},
title: {
display: true,
text: 'Date'
}
},
y: {
title: {
display: true,
text: 'count'
}
}
},
},
data: {
labels: data.map(row => row.year),
datasets: [
{
label: 'Time scale',
data: [{
x: data.map(row => row.year),
y: data.map(row => row.count),
}],
borderColor: data.map(row => row.borderColor),
backgroundColor: data.map(row => row.backgroundColor),
fill: false,
}
]
}
}
);
};
export default timeScaleChart;
I needed to transform the data.
and use it
data: transformedData
