Chartjs-How to show bar graph on y axis in charjs

1👍

You will have to define the type of your Chart as horizontalBar in the configuration options:

var myBarChart = new Chart(ctx, {
    type: 'horizontalBar',
    data: data,
    options: options
});

or TypeScript for ng2-charts:

public barChartType: ChartType = 'horizontalBar';

Bear in mind

The configuration options for the horizontal bar chart are the same as for the bar chart.
However, any options specified on the x axis in a bar chart, are applied to the y axis in a horizontal bar chart.

Here is an example on Stackblitz:
https://stackblitz.com/edit/ng2-charts-bar-template-vqunbc

export class AppComponent  {
  public barChartOptions: ChartOptions = {
    responsive: true,
  };
  public barChartLabels: Label[] = ['2006', '2007', '2008', '2009', '2010', '2011', '2012'];
  public barChartType: ChartType = 'horizontalBar';
  public barChartLegend = true;
  public barChartPlugins = [];

  public barChartData: ChartDataSets[] = [
    { data: [65, 59, 80, 81, 56, 55, 40], label: 'Series A' },
    { data: [28, 48, 40, 19, 86, 27, 90], label: 'Series B' }
  ];

  constructor() { }

  ngOnInit() {
  }
}
