Need help with chart.js time series chart

[bernhard]

Can anybody please help me getting this chart.js work? ?

It should look like this example in the docs, but I can't just copy the code of the docs over because I don't have all those util functions on my setup. Maybe someone could explain how I can make those docs examples work on my laptop as well?

Hello @bernhard,
playing around a bit with your example I came up with:

https://codepen.io/3fingers/pen/dyNdvyx

Note I uncommented line 63 on my example, which looks like the culprit for the blank result, so there is something related to time values I didn't figured out (even though I've tried different formats).

Thx, unfortunately that does not help. That's now a regular line chart having "stupid" axis that are not aware of the date (having wrong sort order and wrong distance).

Also I'd really need some help how to use all the examples in the docs and how I can customize them for my needs... The installation section (https://www.chartjs.org/docs/latest/getting-started/installation.html) does not help me either - I have no idea about all those module packer systems. I've tried to do some research but it did not help..

Maybe someone can give me pointers in the right direction ? thanks!

You can look at the utils here: https://github.com/chartjs/Chart.js/blob/master/docs/scripts/utils.js. Seems like there not really complex, but likely make documentation examples more terse.

Thx. But how do I integrate them in my project (for testing and playing around with the chart.js samples)?

My javascript level is unfortunately not the best, so I'm overwhelmed by all those new module/import/export stuff and how to use it ?
