You can use ViewChild
to reference html element and use it inside you component. I have also modified few things in your code to toggle charts.
To summarize:
- Use
ViewChild
to access html element in your component - Updated app component to toggle charts as opposed to just adding data
- Updated label to accept click event to toggle checkbox
Take a look at this stackblitz.
app.component.html
<label>
<input type="checkbox" value=1
(change)="chooseEntity($event.target.checked, 1, entityData[0])">
Microsoft
</label>
<label>
<input type="checkbox" (change)="chooseEntity($event.target.checked, 2, entityData[1])">
IBM
</label>
<div *ngIf="chartData.length !== 0">
<app-limus-utilisation-chart *ngFor="let entity of chartData" [chartdata]="entity"></app-limus-utilisation-chart>
</div>
chart.component.html
<div #chartReport>
<canvas #canvas></canvas>
</div>
chart.component.ts
import {
Component,
ElementRef,
Input,
OnInit,
ViewChild,
ViewEncapsulation
} from "@angular/core";
import { Chart } from "chart.js";
import { OnChanges } from "@angular/core";
@Component({
selector: "app-limus-utilisation-chart",
templateUrl: "./chart.component.html",
encapsulation: ViewEncapsulation.None
})
export class LimusUtilisationChartComponent implements OnInit, OnChanges {
myChart: Chart;
@Input() chartdata: any;
@ViewChild("canvas") stackchartcanvas: ElementRef;
constructor() {}
ngOnChanges() {
this.getStackedChart();
}
ngOnInit(): void {
this.getStackedChart();
}
getStackedChart() {
Chart.Tooltip.positioners.custom = function(elements, position) {
//debugger;
return {
x: position.x,
y:
elements[0]._view.base - (elements[0].height() + elements[1].height())
};
};
const canvas: any = this.stackchartcanvas.nativeElement;
const ctx = canvas.getContext("2d");
var data = {
labels: this.chartdata.buyernames,
datasets: [
{
label: "Utilised Limit",
data: this.chartdata.utilisedlimitData,
backgroundColor: "#22aa99"
},
{
label: "Available Limit",
data: this.chartdata.availablelimit,
backgroundColor: "#994499"
}
]
};
setTimeout(() => {
this.myChart = new Chart(ctx, {
type: "bar",
data: data,
options: {
tooltips: {
mode: "index",
intersect: true,
position: "custom",
yAlign: "bottom"
},
scales: {
xAxes: [
{
stacked: true
}
],
yAxes: [
{
stacked: false,
display: false
}
]
}
}
});
});
}
}

The problem is this line here:
const canvas: any = document.getElementById('canvas1');
You have multiple elements with that ID on the page (Because you did *ngFor), so it always attaches itself to the first element on the page.
Instead of using getElementByID, you should use Angular’s built-in @ViewChild
.
Like this:
chart.component.html:
<canvas #stackchartcanvas></canvas>
chart.component.ts:
@ViewChild("stackchartcanvas") myCanvas: ElementRef<HTMLCanvasElement>;
....
....
....
getStackedChart() {
const canvas = this.myCanvas.nativeElement;
}
Stackblitz: https://stackblitz.com/edit/angular-chart-js-kny4en?file=src%2Fapp%2Fchart.component.ts
(Also, in your original code, this.chartData.push()
ran EVERY time a checkbox was clicked, even if the checkbox was false, but that’s a different, unrelated problem, which has also been fixed.)
