The error occur because in the scope of the metthod updateChartAjaxCall, myChart does not exist because your declared it inside the β$(document).ready(function(){β function
This should work
function addData(chart, label, data) {
chart.data.labels.push(label);
chart.data.datasets.forEach((dataset) => {
dataset.data.push(data);
});
chart.update();
}
function removeData(chart) {
chart.data.labels.pop();
chart.data.datasets.forEach((dataset) => {
dataset.data.pop();
});
chart.update();
}
var myChart;
function updateChartAjaxCall(data1, data2) {
//ajax call here
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: 'data.php',
dataType: 'html',
data: {
data1: data1,
data2: data2
},
success: function (data) {
removeData(myChart);
addData(myChart, 'newLabel', [23, 33, 4]);
},
error: function (xhr, ajaxOptions, thrownError) {
console.log(thrownError);
},
complete: function () {}
});
event.preventDefault();
}
$(document).ready(function () {
$.ajax({
url: "http://localhost/chartjs/data.php",
method: "GET",
success: function (data) {
console.log(data);
var op1 = [];
var op2 = [];
let data_keys = Object.keys(data[0])
console.log(data_keys)
first = data_keys[0] //1st element
second = data_keys[1] //2nd element
for (var i in data) {
op1.push(data[i][first])
op2.push(data[i][second])
}
var chartdata = {
labels: op1,
datasets: [{
label: 'SystemID and Apparent Power (VA)',
backgroundColor: 'rgba(250, 50, 50, 0.4)',
borderColor: 'rgba(500, 50, 50, 0.5)',
hoverBackgroundColor: 'rgba(500, 30, 30, 0.2)',
hoverBorderColor: 'rgba(500, 30, 30, 0.3)',
data: op2
}]
};
var ctx = document.getElementById('mycanvas').getContext('2d');
myChart = new Chart(ctx, {
type: 'line',
data: chartdata,
options: {
scales: {
xAxes: [{
ticks: {
fontSize: 10
}
}],
yAxes: [{
ticks: {
fontSize: 10
}
}]
}
}
});
},
error: function (data) {
console.log(data);
}
});
});
You can also add the utils function to the prototype to use function from myChart
Chart.prototype.removeData = function() {
this.data.labels.pop();
this.data.datasets.forEach((dataset) => {
dataset.data.pop();
});
this.update();
}
Chart.prototype.addData = function(label, data) {
this.data.labels.push(label);
this.data.datasets.forEach((dataset) => {
dataset.data.push(data);
});
this.update();
}
