I was very surprised that I found almost no information about this topic.
I have a ChartJS pie chart that I want to drill down into after clicking a slice of the pie.
How would you do that?
I've solved my problem using this awesome answer:
Click events on Pie Charts in Chart.js
The code:
$(document).ready(function() {
var canvas = document.getElementById("myChart");
var ctx = canvas.getContext("2d");
var myNewChart = new Chart(ctx, {
type: 'pie',
data: data
});
canvas.onclick = function(evt) {
var activePoints = myNewChart.getElementsAtEvent(evt);
if (activePoints[0]) {
var chartData = activePoints[0]['_chart'].config.data;
var idx = activePoints[0]['_index'];
var label = chartData.labels[idx];
var value = chartData.datasets[0].data[idx];
var color = chartData.datasets[0].backgroundColor[idx]; //Or any other data you wish to take from the clicked slice
alert(label + ' ' + value + ' ' + color); //Or any other function you want to execute. I sent the data to the server, and used the response i got from the server to create a new chart in a Bootstrap modal.
}
};
});
That works perfectly. Just instead of alerting the information, i send it to the server using AJAX, and displaying a new chart in a bootstrap modal.
