I'm attempting to use Charts.js with Bootstrap Studio 4.0.whateverTheLatestVersionIs.
I'm importing the Charts.js code into BS via "Link External JavaScript"
I'm creating a canvas
tag inside of a div
, as follows:
<canvas id="myChart" width="400" height="400"></canvas>
To eliminate typos, etc., I'm cutting and pasting demo code from Charts.js into a demo project, as follows.
I attempted to drop a script
tag in right below the canvas
, as follows:
<script>
var ctx = document.getElementById("myChart");
var myChart = new Chart(ctx, {
type: 'bar',
data: {
labels: ["Red", "Blue", "Yellow", "Green", "Purple", "Orange"],
datasets: [{
label: '# of Votes',
data: [12, 19, 3, 5, 2, 3],
backgroundColor: [
'rgba(255, 99, 132, 0.2)',
'rgba(54, 162, 235, 0.2)',
'rgba(255, 206, 86, 0.2)',
'rgba(75, 192, 192, 0.2)',
'rgba(153, 102, 255, 0.2)',
'rgba(255, 159, 64, 0.2)'
],
borderColor: [
'rgba(255,99,132,1)',
'rgba(54, 162, 235, 1)',
'rgba(255, 206, 86, 1)',
'rgba(75, 192, 192, 1)',
'rgba(153, 102, 255, 1)',
'rgba(255, 159, 64, 1)'
],
borderWidth: 1
}]
},
options: {
scales: {
yAxes: [{
ticks: {
beginAtZero:true
}
}]
}
}
});
</script>
The canvas is allocated to the height and width I've specified, but the chart won't ****ing draw. I've also tried putting the chart code in a scripts.js
file. I've tried using var ctx = $(#myChart)
instead of getElementById
.
I've tried fiddling with the order of the scripts. What am I screwing up and how do I fix it so I can render a chart?
