I understand you want to update view with new fresh json data every xx ms
in summary you need to :

  • have a service which exposes a shared observable, say data$;
  • the service has the method to fetch the remote data and update the shared observable above, say getRemoteData()
  • that service Observable.interval() which calls the method to fetch the remote data
  • have your component that displays the data
  • have the component subscribe to the data observable from the service.

the next sample code illustrates how to implement it

import {takeWhile, first} from 'rxjs/operators';
import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { interval } from "rxjs";
import { PositionsModel } from "./positionsmodel";
import { MouvementService } from './mouvement.service';

@Component({
  selector: 'app-mouvementview',
  template: '<div *ngIf="data"> your chart </div>',
})

export class MouvementviewComponent implements OnInit {
  public data: PositionsModel;
  private display: boolean; // whether to display info in the component
                            // use *ngIf="display" in your html to take
                            // advantage of this
  private alive: boolean; // used to unsubscribe from the IntervalObservable
                          // when OnDestroy is called.
  results : string;
  // Inject mouvementService
  constructor(private mouvementService: MouvementService) {
    this.display = false;

    }

ngOnInit() {
   this.mouvementService.getPositions().pipe(
      first()) // only gets fired once
      .subscribe((data) => {
        this.data = data;
        this.display = true;
        this.alive = true;
});

// get our data every subsequent 200 mseconds
interval(200).pipe(
      takeWhile(() => this.alive)) // only fires when component is alive
      .subscribe(() => {
        this.mouvementService.getPositions()
          .subscribe(data => {
        console.log(data);
        this.data = data;
          });
      });

}

ngOnDestroy(){
    this.alive = false; // switches your IntervalObservable off
  }
}

You can use Chart.jsโ€™s addData() function with a setTimeout method for this.

<!DOCTYPE html>

    <head>
         <title>Add data</title>
         <script src = "https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/Chart.js/2.7.3/Chart.js"></script>
    </head>
    <body>      
        <div class = "container">
            <canvas id="myChart"></canvas>            
        </div>
        <script src = "script.js"></script>
    </body>
</html>

script.js

let ctx = document.getElementById("myChart").getContext('2d');
        let myChart = new Chart(ctx, {
            type: 'line',
            data: {
                labels: ["Red", "Blue", "Yellow", "Green", "Purple", "Orange"],
                datasets: [{
                    label: '# of Votes',
                    data: [7, 9, 3, 5, 2, 3],
                    backgroundColor: [
                        'rgba(255, 99, 132, 0.2)',
                        'rgba(54, 162, 235, 0.2)',
                        'rgba(255, 206, 86, 0.2)',
                        'rgba(75, 192, 192, 0.2)',
                        'rgba(153, 102, 255, 0.2)',
                        'rgba(255, 159, 64, 0.2)'
                    ],
                    borderColor: [
                        'rgba(255,99,132,1)',
                        'rgba(54, 162, 235, 1)',
                        'rgba(255, 206, 86, 1)',
                        'rgba(75, 192, 192, 1)',
                        'rgba(153, 102, 255, 1)',
                        'rgba(255, 159, 64, 1)'
                    ],
                    borderWidth: 1
                }]
            },
            options: {
                scales: {
                    yAxes: [{
                        ticks: {
                            beginAtZero:true
                        }
                    }]
                }
            }
        });

        setTimeout(function() {
            addData(myChart, "White", 7);
        },3000);

        function addData(chart, label, data) {
            console.log(console.log(chart.data.datasets[0].data));
            chart.data.labels.push(label);
            chart.data.datasets[0].data.push(data);
            chart.update();
        } 

Hope this could be helpful. You can change setTimeout to setInterval if you prefer adding data to the chart in intervals (such as every 2 secs).
