Integration

Chart.js can be integrated with plain JavaScript or with different module loaders. The examples below show how to load Chart.js in different systems.

Script Tag

  1. <script src="path/to/chartjs/dist/Chart.js"></script>
  2. <script>
  3. var myChart = new Chart(ctx, {...});
  4. </script>

Webpack

  1. import Chart from 'chart.js';
  2. var myChart = new Chart(ctx, {...});

Common JS

  1. var Chart = require('chart.js');
  2. var myChart = new Chart(ctx, {...});

Require JS

  1. require(['path/to/chartjs/dist/Chart.js'], function(Chart){
  2. var myChart = new Chart(ctx, {...});
  3. });
Important: RequireJS can not load CommonJS module as is, so be sure to require one of the built UMD files instead (i.e. dist/Chart.js, dist/Chart.min.js, etc.).
