Vue Chart.js - Chart is not updating when data is changing

问题

I'm using Vue.js and Chart.js to draw some charts. Each time I call the function generateChart(), the chart is not updated automatically. When I check the data in Vue Devtools, they are correct but the chart does not reflect the data.

Fun fact: The chart is updating when I'm resizing the window.

What is wrong with what I'm doing?
How do I update the chart each time I call generateChart() ?

I feel this is going to be something related with object and array change detection caveats, but I'm not sure what to do.

<el-dialog title="Chart" v-model="showGeneratedChart">
     <line-chart :chartData="dataChart"></line-chart>
</el-dialog>

 export default{
    data (){
        const self = this;
        return {
         dataChart : {
                labels : [],
                datasets: [{
                        label: 'label',
                        backgroundColor: '#FC2525',
                        data: [0, 1, 2, 3, 4],
                    }]
        }
    }
}


 generateChart() { 
     this.dataChart['labels'] = [];
     this.dataChart['datasets'] = [];

     ... compute datasets and formattedLabels

     this.dataChart['labels'] = formattedLabels;
     this.dataChart['datasets'] = datasets;
 }

LineChart.js

import { Line, mixins } from 'vue-chartjs'

export default Line.extend({
    mixins: [mixins.reactiveProp],
    props: ["options"],
    mounted () {
        this.renderChart(this.chartData, this.options)
    }
})

Use a computed property for the chart data. And instead of calling this.renderChart on watch wrap it in a method and reuse that method on mounted and in watch.

Vue.component("line-chart", {
  extends: VueChartJs.Line,
  props: ["data", "options"],
  mounted() {
    this.renderLineChart();
  },
  computed: {
    chartData: function() {
      return this.data;
    }
  },
  methods: {
    renderLineChart: function() {
    this.renderChart(
      {
        labels: [
          "January",
          "February",
          "March",
          "April",
          "May",
          "June",
          "July"
        ],
        datasets: [
          {
            label: "Data One",
            backgroundColor: "#f87979",
            data: this.chartData
          }
        ]
      },
      { responsive: true, maintainAspectRatio: false }
    );      
    }
  },
  watch: {
    data: function() {
      this._chart.destroy();
      //this.renderChart(this.data, this.options);
      this.renderLineChart();
    }
  }
});

var vm = new Vue({
  el: ".app",
  data: {
    message: "Hello World",
    dataChart: [10, 39, 10, 40, 39, 0, 0],
    test: [4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4]
  },
  methods: {
    changeData: function() {
      this.dataChart = [6, 6, 3, 5, 5, 6];
    }
  }
});

You could also make the options a computed property, and if option not going to change much you can setup default props. https://vuejs.org/v2/guide/components.html#Prop-Validation

I never used vue-chartjs before, but it looks like your only issue is that you forgot to explicitely receive chartData as a prop in your line-chart component:

Change

export default Line.extend({
    mixins: [mixins.reactiveProp],
    props: ["options"],
    mounted () {
        this.renderChart(this.chartData, this.options)
    }
})

with

export default Line.extend({
    mixins: [mixins.reactiveProp],
    props: ["chartData", "options"],
    mounted () {
        this.renderChart(this.chartData, this.options)
    }
})

Also, be aware of vue reactivity issues when changing objects, this won't work:

this.dataChart['datasets'] = datasets;

you have to do something like this:

Vue.set(this.dataChart, 'datasets', datasets);

in order Vue to detect changes in your object.

watch: {
chartData: function (newData, oldData) {
  // let ctx = document.getElementById('doughnut-chart').getContext('2d')
  // console.log(ctx)
  // var chart = new Chart(ctx, {type: 'doughnut', data:, options: self.options})
  // // chart.config.data.datasets.push(newData)
  // chart.config.options.animation = false
  // console.log(chart)
  // chart.config.data.datasets.push(newData)
  // chart.config.optionsNoAnimation = optionsNoAnimation
  // console.log(chart.config.data.datasets.push(newData))
  // this.dataset = newData
  // chart.update()
  // console.log('options', this.data)
  console.log('new data from watcher', newData)
  this.data.datasets[0].data = newData
  this.renderChart(this.data, this.options)
}
}

add custom watcher to update any vue chart graph
