# Chart Component

ABP Chart component exposed by `@abp/ng.components/chart.js` is based on [`charts.js`](https://www.chartjs.org/) v3+. You don't need to install the `chart.js` package. Since the `@abp/ng.components` is dependent on the `chart.js`, the package is already installed in your project.

> Chart component loads `chart.js` script lazy. So it does not increase the bundle size.

## How to Use

First of all, need to import the `ChartComponent` to your component. Then, `abp-chart` component can be used. See an example:

```ts
// chart-demo.component.ts
import { Component } from "@angular/core";
import { ChartComponent } from "@abp/ng.components/chart.js";

@Component({
  selector: "app-chart-demo",
  imports: [ChartComponent],
  template: ` <abp-chart type="pie" [data]="data"></abp-chart> `,
})
export class ChartDemoComponent {
  data = {
    labels: ["Data 1", "Data 2", "Data 3"],
    datasets: [
      {
        label: "Dataset 1",
        data: [40, 15, 45],
        backgroundColor: ["#ff7675", "#fdcb6e", "#0984e3"],
      },
    ],
  };
}
```

> **Important Note**: Changing the chart data without creating a new data instance does not trigger change detection. In order to chart to redraw itself, a new data object needs to be created.
