Chartjs-Chart.js separation lines

✅

Now I see another solution: there are additional properties of gridLines for these purposes.

gridLines: {
  display: true,
  drawBorder: true,
  drawOnChartArea: false
}

Yes! It is possible !!

You can achieve that using the following chart plugin :

Chart.plugins.register({
   afterDatasetsDraw: function(chart) {
      var ctx = chart.ctx;
      var x_axis = chart.scales['x-axis-0'];
      //loop through ticks array
      x_axis.ticks.forEach(function(tick, index) {
         var x = x_axis.getPixelForTick(index);
         var y = chart.scales['y-axis-0'].bottom;
         var lineHeight = 8;
         var lineColor = 'black';
         //draw line
         ctx.save();
         ctx.beginPath();
         ctx.moveTo(x, y);
         ctx.lineTo(x, y + lineHeight);
         ctx.strokeStyle = lineColor;
         ctx.stroke();
         ctx.restore();
      });
   }
});

* add this at the beginning of your script
