Documentation

You can use chartjs-chart-sankey.js as ES module. You'll need to manually register two components

import {Chart} from 'chart.js';
import {SankeyController, Flow} from 'chartjs-chart-sankey';

Chart.register(SankeyController, Flow);

To create a sankey chart, include chartjs-chart-sankey.js after chart.js and then create the chart by setting the type attribute to 'sankey'

const chart = new Chart(ctx, {
  type: 'sankey',
  data: dataObject
});

Configuration

Example:

const chart = new Chart(ctx, {
  type: 'sankey',
  data: {
    datasets: [{
      label: 'My sankey',
      data: [
        {from: 'a', to: 'b', flow: 10},
        {from: 'a', to: 'c', flow: 5},
        {from: 'b', to: 'c', flow: 10}
      ],
      colorFrom: (c) => getColor(c.dataset.data[c.dataIndex].from),
      colorTo: (c) => getColor(c.dataset.data[c.dataIndex].to),
      colorMode: 'gradient', // or 'from' or 'to'
      /* optional labels */
      labels: {
        a: 'Label A',
        b: 'Label B',
        c: 'Label C'
      },
      /* optional priority */
      priority: {
        a: 0,
        b: 1,
        c: 2
      },
      size: 'max', // or 'min' if flow overlap is preferred
    }]
  },
});
