Chartjs-How to implement doughnut ChartJS with CodeIgniter 3 and display data from database

After going through the ChartJS documentation, I found and utilized the .update(config) method after previously initializing my chart with dummy data. Here’s what the JavaScript file looks like now:

$(function() {
if ($("#subChart").length) {
    var chart = $("#subChart");
    var fontFamily = '"Proxima Nova W01", -apple-system, system-ui, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif';
    
    // set defaults
    Chart.defaults.global.defaultFontFamily = fontFamily;
    Chart.defaults.global.tooltips.titleFontSize = 14;
    Chart.defaults.global.tooltips.titleMarginBottom = 4;
    Chart.defaults.global.tooltips.displayColors = false;
    Chart.defaults.global.tooltips.bodyFontSize = 12;
    Chart.defaults.global.tooltips.xPadding = 10;
    Chart.defaults.global.tooltips.yPadding = 8;
    var data = {
        labels: ["Processed", "Pending", "Cancelled"],
        datasets: [
            {
                data: [1, 1, 1],
                backgroundColor: ["#85c751", "#6896f9", "#d97b70"],
                hoverBackgroundColor: ["#85c751", "#6896f9", "#d97b70"],
                borderWidth: 0
            }
        ]
    };

    // -----------------
    // init donut chart
    // -----------------
    var subsChart = new Chart(chart, {
        type: 'doughnut',
        data: data,
        options: {
            legend: {
                display: false
            },
            animation: {
                animateScale: true
            },
            cutoutPercentage: 80
        }
    });

    // donut chart data
    jQuery.ajax({
        type: "GET",
        url: 'dashboard/get/subscriptions',
        success: function(response) {
            console.log(response);

            var obj = JSON.parse(response);
            console.log(obj);
            console.log(obj[0].count);

            var active = obj[0].count;
            var pending = obj[1].count;
            var cancelled = obj[2].count;

            console.log('Initial value:' + subsChart.data.datasets[0].data);
            subsChart.data.datasets[0].data[0] = active;
            subsChart.data.datasets[0].data[1] = pending;
            subsChart.data.datasets[0].data[2] = cancelled;
            subsChart.update(); 

            console.log('Updated value:' + subsChart.data.datasets[0].data);
        }
    })
 }
});

and here’s the output:
