How do I set up Chart.js in a Django project?

To set up Chart.js in a Django project, first, include the Chart.js library in your template. You can do this by adding a CDN link in your HTML file.

What files do I need to modify to integrate Chart.js?

You need to modify your HTML template to include the Chart.js script and create a canvas element for the chart. Additionally, you may need to update your views to pass data to the template.

Can you show me an example of how to create a bar chart?

Sure! In your JavaScript, you can create a bar chart like this:

var ctx = document.getElementById('myChart').getContext('2d');
var myChart = new Chart(ctx, {
    type: 'bar',
    data: {
        labels: ['Red', 'Blue', 'Yellow'],
        datasets: [{
            label: '# of Votes',
            data: [12, 19, 3],
            backgroundColor: ['rgba(255, 99, 132, 0.2)', 'rgba(54, 162, 235, 0.2)', 'rgba(255, 206, 86, 0.2)'],
            borderColor: ['rgba(255, 99, 132, 1)', 'rgba(54, 162, 235, 1)', 'rgba(255, 206, 86, 1)'],
            borderWidth: 1
        }]
    },
    options: {
        scales: {
            y: {
                beginAtZero: true
            }
        }
    }
});

What about dynamic data from Django?

You can pass dynamic data from your Django views to the template using context. For example, you can serialize your data to JSON and then use it in your Chart.js configuration.
