What this book covers

Chapter 1, Introduction, introduces Chart.js and explains the basic concepts.

Chapter 2, Technology Fundamentals, explains the various fundamentals and setups needed for Chart.js

Chapter 3, Chart.js - Quick Start, provides a quick start to creating web-based data visualizations with Chart.js. It will show you how to set up the library and configure a basic web page on which you can place a chart. We will walk through a complete step-by-step example, describing how to create a bar chart and configure it with labels, tooltips, titles, interactions, colors, animations, and more.

Chapter 4, Creating Charts, covers several charts that can be created with Chart.js to efficiently communicate quantitative information and relationships. The choice of a chart depends on the type of data, how each set of values is related to one another, and what kind of relationships you want to show.

Chapter 5, Scales and Grid Configuration, explains how to configure the look and feel of a chart so it reflects a desired layout or style, follow good practices of chart design, and tune its interactive and responsive behavior.

Chapter 6, Configuring Styles and Interactivity, explores configuration topics that you won't use as frequently and that may require additional coding, extensions, and integration with other libraries, such as tooltip behavior configuration, label generation, scripting, creating mixed charts, creating plugins, using the Chart.js API, and using HTML Canvas with Chart.js.

Chapter 7, Advanced Chart.js, will explore fonts, padding, axes, screen resizing, and responsiveness.
