Configuration

Arguments are passed as-is to the instance of ChartJS. View Examples.

  props: {
     type: {
       type: String,
       required: true
     },
     data: {
       type: Object,
       required: true
     },
     options: {
       type: Object,
       default () {
         return {}
       },
     },
     plugins: {
       type: Array,
       default () {
         return []
       }
     }
   }

Events

A default event hook plugin is injected into each chart object and emits the following: ChartJS events

Event listeners are converted to camelcase in Vue3. Events marked as "cancellable" can be "canceled" by the calling preventDefault method on the event parameter.
