Head over here ==> vue3-chart-v2

Prerequisite

Vue 3 is required

Install

npm npm install vue3-chart-v2 chart.js --save
yarn yarn add vue3-chart-v2 chart.js

How to use

You need to import the component and then either use extends or mixins and add it.

You can import each module individual.

import { Bar } from 'vue3-chart-v2'

Just create your own component.

// MonthlyChart.vue

<script>
import { defineComponent } from 'vue'
import { Bar } from 'vue3-chart-v2'

export default defineComponent({
  name: 'MonthlyChart',
  extends: Bar,
  mounted () {
    // Overwriting base render method with actual data.
    this.renderChart({
      labels: ['January', 'February', 'March', 'April', 'May', 'June', 'July', 'August', 'September', 'October', 'November', 'December'],
      datasets: [
        {
          label: 'GitHub Commits',
          backgroundColor: '#f87979',
          data: [40, 20, 12, 39, 10, 40, 39, 80, 40, 20, 12, 11]
        }
      ]
    })
  }
})
</script>

Then simply import and use your own extended component and use it like a normal vue component

<template>
  <MonthlyChart />
</template>

<script>
import { defineComponent } from 'vue'
import MonthlyChart from './path/to/MonthlyChart.vue'

export default defineComponent({
  name: 'App',
  components: {
    MonthlyChart
  }
})
</script>

Another Example with options

You can overwrite the default chart options as props. Just pass the options object as a second parameter to the render method

// MonthlyChart.vue
import { defineComponent } from 'vue'
import { Line } from 'vue3-chart-v2'

export default defineComponent({
  name: 'MonthlyChart',
  extends: Line,
  props: {
    chartData: {
      type: Object,
      required: true
    },
    chartOptions: {
      type: Object,
      required: false
    },
  },
  mounted () {
    this.renderChart(this.chartData, this.chartOptions)
  }
})

Then simply use it in your vue app

<template>
  <MonthlyChart v-bind:chartData="..." v-bind:chartOptions="..." />
</template>

<script>
import { defineComponent } from 'vue'
import MonthlyChart from './path/to/MonthlyChart.vue'

export default defineComponent({
  name: 'App',
  components: {
    MonthlyChart
  }
})
</script>
