I have been attempting to integrate ChartJS with Angular2, but I keep encountering an error message stating that 'Chart is not defined'. I made sure to install the ChartJS typings and referenced them accordingly. Additionally, I included the chartjs script in the index.html file. Can someone point out what might be causing this issue?
/// <reference path="../../website/typings/main/ambient/chart/index.d.ts" />
import {Directive, ElementRef, Renderer, Input} from 'angular2/core';
@Directive({
selector: '[chart]'
})
export class ChartDirective {
constructor(el: ElementRef, renderer: Renderer) {
//el.nativeElement.style.backgroundColor = 'yellow';
var data = {
labels: ["January", "February", "March", "April", "May", "June", "July"],
datasets: [
{
label: "My First dataset",
fillColor: "rgba(220,220,220,0.2)",
strokeColor: "rgba(220,220,220,1)",
pointColor: "rgba(220,220,220,1)",
pointStrokeColor: "#fff",
pointHighlightFill: "#fff",
pointHighlightStroke: "rgba(220,220,220,1)",
data: [65, 59, 80, 81, 56, 55, 40]
},
{
label: "My Second dataset",
fillColor: "rgba(151,187,205,0.2)",
strokeColor: "rgba(151,187,205,1)",
pointColor: "rgba(151,187,205,1)",
pointStrokeColor: "#fff",
pointHighlightFill: "#fff",
pointHighlightStroke: "rgba(151,187,205,1)",
data: [28, 48, 40, 19, 86, 27, 90]
}
]
};
var ctx: any = el.nativeElement.getContext("2d");
var lineChart = new Chart(ctx);
////var lineChartOptions = areaChartOptions;
////lineChartOptions.datasetFill = false;
lineChart.Line(data);
}
}
UPDATE:
This is how my index.html file looks:
