chart.js 4.4.0

Chart.js is a JavaScript library that enables designers and developers to create simple yet flexible charts using the HTML5 canvas element. This powerful tool supports a variety of chart types, including line, bar, pie, and radar charts, among others. Built for simplicity and flexibility, Chart.js provides an optimal solution for data visualization in web projects.

Using Chart.js is quite straightforward. First, you need to add the Chart.js script to your project by including it in your HTML file like so:

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/chart.js"></script>

Then, you can create a canvas element in your HTML where the chart will be drawn:

<canvas id="myChart"></canvas>

Next, in your JavaScript file or script tag, you can create a new chart by creating a Chart object:

var ctx = document.getElementById('myChart').getContext('2d');
var myChart = new Chart(ctx, {
    type: 'line',  // type of chart: line, bar, radar, doughnut, etc.
    data: {
        labels: ['Jan', 'Feb', 'Mar', 'Apr', 'May', 'Jun', 'Jul', 'Aug', 'Sept', 'Oct', 'Nov', 'Dec'],
        datasets: [{
            label: 'Sales',
            data: [12, 19, 3, 5, 2, 3, 9, 10, 12, 17, 19, 22]
        }]
    },
    options: {
        scales: {
            y: {
                beginAtZero: true
            }
        }
    }
});
