Stuck on a chart.js item as the docs don't seem to be particularly clear.
Simply trying to remove a gridline from the chart. I tried both the old syntax that was referenced here in Stack overflow:
options: {
scales: {
xAxes: [{
gridLines: {
display: false,
}
}]
}
}
And the new syntax:
options: {
scales: {
y: {
grid: {
drawBorder: false
}
}
}
}
Neither work...
Here's my Snippet:
var ctx = document.getElementById("myChart");
var myChart = new Chart(ctx, {
type: 'bar',
data: {
labels: ["Red", "Blue", "Yellow", "Green", "Purple", "Orange"],
datasets: [{
label: '# of Votes',
data: [12, 19, 10, 5, 8, 11]
}]
},
options: {
scales: {
xAxes: [{
gridLines: {
display: false,
}
}],
y: {
grid: {
drawBorder: false
}
},
}
}
});.myChartDiv {
max-width: 600px;
max-height: 400px;
}<html>
<body>
<div class="myChartDiv">
<canvas id="myChart" width="600" height="400"></canvas>
</div>
</body>

The property you are looking for is called display instead of drawBorder, also your xAxes are defined in the wrong way, you were using v2 syntax instead of v3
Example:
var ctx = document.getElementById("myChart");
var myChart = new Chart(ctx, {
type: 'bar',
data: {
labels: ["Red", "Blue", "Yellow", "Green", "Purple", "Orange"],
datasets: [{
label: '# of Votes',
data: [12, 19, 10, 5, 8, 11]
}]
},
options: {
scales: {
x: {
grid: {
display: false,
}
},
y: {
grid: {
display: false
}
},
}
}
});.myChartDiv {
max-width: 600px;
max-height: 400px;
}<html>
<body>
<div class="myChartDiv">
<canvas id="myChart" width="600" height="400"></canvas>
</div>
</body>
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/chart.js"></script>
</html>Here is the solution.
Looks like lot of configuration has changed in the new version.
Reference from documentation here.
var ctx = document.getElementById("myChart");
var myChart = new Chart(ctx, {
type: 'bar',
data: {
labels: ["Red", "Blue", "Yellow", "Green", "Purple", "Orange"],
datasets: [{
label: '# of Votes',
data: [12, 19, 10, 5, 8, 11]
}]
},
options: {
scales: {
x: {
grid: {
drawOnChartArea:false
}
},
y: {
grid: {
drawOnChartArea:false
}
}
}
}
});.myChartDiv {
max-width: 600px;
max-height: 400px;
}<html>
<body>
<div class="myChartDiv">
<canvas id="myChart" width="600" height="400"></canvas>
</div>
</body>
