I am making a chart using Chart.js and have a problem about the x axis of my line chart. I made a multi-line chart, and everything looks good, as you can see in the image below.
What I would like to achieve is that the labels on my x-axis (dates) are displayed only when there is a data point on the chart, so not all days are as they are now. I actually don't have that much experience with all of the web development, so any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
My code in its current form:
function newDate(day, month) {
return moment().date(day).month(month);
}
var ctx = document.getElementById("chart_hr");
var tabPane = document.getElementById("overview_hr");
var data = {
labels: [newDate(8,8), newDate(10,8), newDate(12,8), newDate(17,8), newDate(21,8), newDate(23,8), newDate(28,8), newDate(1,9), newDate(4,9)],
datasets: [
{
fill: false,
data: [140, 180, 150, 150, 180, 150, 150, 150, 170],
lineTension: 0,
},
{
fill: false,
data: [80, 100, 80, 80, 80, 80, 100, 80, 100],
lineTension: 0,
}
]
};
var options = {
scales: {
xAxes: [{
type: 'time',
time: {
displayFormats: {
'millisecond': 'DD MMM',
'second': 'DD MMM',
'minute': 'DD MMM',
'hour': 'DD MMM',
'day': 'DD MMM',
'week': 'DD MMM',
'month': 'DD MMM',
'quarter': 'DD MMM',
'year': 'DD MMM',
},
unitStepSize: 1,
unit: 'day',
},
gridLines : {
display : false,
}
}],
yAxes: [{
ticks: {
min: 50,
max: 190,
stepSize: 10,
}
}],
},
};
var myLineChart = new Chart(ctx, {
type: 'line',
data: data,
options: options
});
