'Chart JS how to display an array of data objects as bar chart
I want to display a bar chart - each bar is a user/student. And for each student, there will be an xAxis label displaying the students name
The below code is a VueJS computed property and called chartData
My data array for the bar chart is an array of objects. Here is how i generate it
let dataRow = this.responses.map((d) => {
return {
label: d.user.name,
data: [d.grade],
}
});
Here is how I generate my labels
let users = [];
this.responses.map((d) => {
users.push(d.user.name)
});
I then return on object with an array of labels and datasets with data being an array of objects
return {
labels: users,
datasets: [{
data: dataRow
}],
}
Here is how I render the chart:
{
extends: Bar,
props: ["chartdata"],
data() {
return {
options: {
responsive: true,
maintainAspectRatio: false,
scales: {
yAxes: [{
ticks: {
beginAtZero: true,
max: 100
}
}],
},
}
}
},
mounted() {
this.renderChart(this.chartdata, this.options)
}
}
Issue: Nothing displays and there are no errors
The bar chart only seems to work when the data in the datasets is not an array of object like:
testData: {
labels: ['test', 'test', 'test'],
datasets: [{
data: [65, 59, 80],
}]
}
After Sayf-Eddine comment, i have managed to achieve this:
I changed how i returned the chartdata like:
return {
labels: users,
datasets: dataRow
}
However, all bars are mapping to the first label

After Vitaliy Rayets comment i figured out what was wrong
i needed to return the data row like:
let dataRow = this.responses.map((d) => {
return {
label: d.user.name,
y: [d.grade],
}
});
**I changed the property 'data' to 'y' **
