HTML template for using config / setup / actions from Samples section

[lfoltyn]

Documentation Is:

• Missing or needed?
• Confusing
• Not sure?

Please Explain in Detail...

Hi all,

maybe I just overlooked that part in you documentation.

But it took me some time to figure out, how to use the code displayed in Samples section from tabs config / setup / actions - e.g. from here https://www.chartjs.org/docs/latest/samples/bar/border-radius.html - in some working HTML example.

I simply missed some HTML template, where I would replace 3 sections with the code from the Sample to see the outcome.

Your Proposal for Changes

I would add somewhere in this page a sample HTML template (e.g. using CDN for including the js library) and the instruction that it is enough to replace 3 sections based on the Sample for config / setup / actions tabs.

To be honest I did not investigate where to copy the code from actions tab. I did not need that in my HTML example.

Important are these two lines, but some complete example is needed:

...

<script>
  const ctx = document.getElementById('myChart');
     
  // definitions for config / setup / actions
  
  const myChart = new Chart(ctx, config);
</script>
...

For a sample that can be copied and pasted and used directly you can check the usage page.

There used to be simple samples in the 2.9 version https://github.com/chartjs/Chart.js/blob/2.9/samples/charts/bar/stacked-group.html

But they are no longer present in the latest version of the repo...
