chart Js 3.0 update

[abannsunny]

Hi

I was wondering if there are any plans to update ng2-charts to support the chart.js 3.0 release.

Thank you.

It would be nice to upgrade to charts.js 3.0

[cyberluke]

Copy that!

@santam85 do you think you can handle this? :)

[santam85]

@paviad sure thing! If you can get me access to the applitools project (even readonly) It would help a lot to reduce regressions though...

[paviad]

@santam85 Can we just create new applitools workspace and ditch the old one? Not getting any response from the owner @valorkin

[santam85]

Sure we can, we'd loose any baseline comparison though, and there is a cost involved if we want a plan that allows access to multiple people as a team

[santam85]

Quick update here: I have a working version of the library updated to Chart.js 3.0 beta 3
Will push the WIP to a branch soon for review, because some small changes to the APIs were needed due to breaking changes in Chart.js

[valorkin]

@santam85 well done!

Any update on this issue?

@jordancue waiting for chartjs/chartjs-plugin-datalabels#180

Sorry, I did not recognize this issue. Please close #1292 and thanks a lot for working on this!

Have a look at PR #1276
The Chart.js team has just released rc.2, and work has been done on the datalabels and annotation plugins (on which this library depends on) to make them compatible. Only a couple of visual tests are now failing (mostly related to the annotation plugin), but I expect to be able to quickly fix everything after the final 3.0 version of chart.js is out.

3.0 is released 😃

Is it safe to use the dev-3 branch? The PR seems approved.

@vibonacci not all dependencies have a stable and released Chart.js v3.0 compatible version (datalabel and financial charts), but in general what's on the branch works correclty.
I am in the process of getting it released under the next tag, while I finish up documentation work and the transitive deps release a final version.

How would I go about using the dev-3 branch in my package.json?

I have: "ng2-charts": "valor-software/ng2-charts#dev-3"

But when I run npm install, it eventually errors with: Not Found - GET https://registry.npmjs.org/chartjs-chart-financial - Not found

Unfortunately specifying the dependency like that will not work as the repo is currently using a git submodule. I am ready to push the required changes to make it work, but we need chartjs/chartjs-chart-financial#95 to be merged first, as there isn't any compatible release of that library.

Manual checkout and linking is needed if you want to test this branch.
