[Chartjs]-Chartjs duration horizontal bar chart

I found the way to work this out with the help of @John Go-Soco. Some very key pieces of the graph config are bellow. In short, each line is a separate dataset with two data points defining a start date and the end date.

const yMap = [ 'amlodipine', 'simvastatin', 'lisinopril' ];

const mapDataPoint = function(xValue, yValue) {
                       return {
                          x: xValue,
                          y: yMap.indexOf(yValue)
                       };
                     };

const config = {
                type: 'line',
                data: {
                    datasets: [
                        {
                            //other dataset config options here
                            data: [
                                mapDataPoint('1/1/2007', 'simvastatin'),
                                mapDataPoint('6/1/2010', 'simvastatin'),
                            ]
                        },
                        {
                            //other dataset config options here
                            data: [
                                mapDataPoint('9/1/2010', 'simvastatin'),
                                mapDataPoint('11/1/2018', 'simvastatin'),
                            ]
                        },
                        {
                            //other dataset config options here
                            data: [
                                mapDataPoint('1/1/2007', 'lisinopril'),
                                mapDataPoint('9/1/2015', 'lisinopril'),
                            ]
                        },
                        {

                            ]
                        },
                    ]

            };

const ctx = 'reference to your ctx here';

const chart = new Chart(ctx, config)
