Chartkick column charts multiple colors

Question

I\'m using chartckick in my RoR project to generate charts, which works quite nice. (along with Google Charts).

I\'ve created a column chart with only 2 bars

Answer 1

The following also works. I didn't need any new files in initializers (no chartkick.rb file), this just worked by adding the following code to my helper file:

  def networth_data
    [
      {name: "Assets", data: {"NetWorth": 6979.53}}, 
      {name: "Liabilities", data: {"NetWorth": 10532.32}}
    ]
  end

And then in my html.erb i specified the colors and other options I wanted:

<%= column_chart networth_data, 
  colors: ["green", "#FF0000"], 
  library: {backgroundColor: "#FFF", height: 265} %>

...renders this chart:
