How to add a point to chart.js line chart?

@deron 

To add a point to a line chart using Chart.js, you need to update the data array of the dataset associated with the chart. Here's an example of how you can do it:

1. First, make sure you have included the necessary Chart.js library in your HTML file. You can either download it and host it locally, or you can use a CDN. Here's an example using a CDN:

1

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/chart.js"></script>

1. Create a canvas element in your HTML file where you want to render the line chart:

1

<canvas id="myChart"></canvas>

1. In your JavaScript code, initialize the chart using Chart.js and define the initial data for the line chart:

 1
 2
 3
 4
 5
 6
 7
 8
 9
10
11
12

var chart = new Chart(document.getElementById('myChart'), {
  type: 'line',
  data: {
    labels: ['Label 1', 'Label 2', 'Label 3'], // Example labels
    datasets: [{
      label: 'Dataset 1',
      data: [1, 2, 3], // Example data points
      borderColor: 'blue',
      fill: false
    }]
  },
});

1. To add a new point to the line chart, you need to update the data array of the dataset. For example, if you want to add a new point with the value 4 to the dataset:

1

chart.data.datasets[0].data.push(4);

1. After updating the data, you need to update the chart to reflect the changes:

1

chart.update();

Now, when you run your code, a new point with the value 4 will be added to the line chart. Remember to update the labels array as well if you want to display the corresponding labels for the new point.
