Issue
So basically, on div click (jquery), I have a bootstrap modal popup that has a chart. The chart works fine, and the rendering is perfect, the problem comes when I click another div.
Here's my HTML
<div class="modal fade" id="myModal" tabindex="-1" role="dialog">
<div class="modal-dialog">
<div class="card">
<div class="text-right cross"> hello<i class="fa fa-times"></i> </div>
<div id="chartDiv" *ngIf="chart"><canvas #chart>{{ chart }}</canvas></div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
On a separate note, I'm using Chart.register(...registerables) in my constructor. Here goes my TS (just the relevant code):
import { Chart, registerables } from 'chart.js';
export class HomeComponent implements OnInit{
@ViewChild('chart') canvas: ElementRef;
chart: any = [];
ngOnInit(): void {
$('#myModal').on('hide.bs.modal', function () {
$(".canvas").remove();
})
$('#myModal').on('show.bs.modal', function () {
$("div.chart").append('<canvas #chart>{{chart}}</canvas>');
$('#chart').trigger('focus')
})
}
divClick()
{
$('#myModal').modal('show');
this.chart = this.getChartData()
}
getChartData(): Chart {
this.chart = new Chart(this.canvas.nativeElement.getContext('2d'), {data})
//please don't worry about data its coming from api and it works fine
return this.chart
}
}
This is all just very high level, but I'm happy to include any other code needed. I researched so many articles and ways to fix this error but couldn't find any. If you can point me to a resource where Chart js is implemented using Angular, it'd be helpful. Also, I tried the "destroy" function on this.chart but that doesn't work either. Is there any other way to use this rather than exposing canvas. Just don't know what I'm doing wrong. I even tried removing and re-adding canvas classs through jquery (in onInit) but that doesn't work either. (Chartjs v3.7.0)
Solution
You're doing everything right, and you're so close. I believe there's no need to store anything in this.chart. Simply return and render. To fix your multi-instance error, simply add a check for chart existence before rendering.
divClick()
{
var chartExist = Chart.getChart("myChart"); // <canvas> id
if (chartExist != undefined)
chartExist.destroy();
$('#myModal').modal('show');
this.getChartData()
}
getChartData(): any {
return new Chart(this.canvas.nativeElement.getContext('2d'), {data})
}
In your HTML, simply add id for chart
<canvas id="myChart" #chart>{{ chart }}</canvas>
