You can use a custom plugin to generate a legend and bind the click handler to all your charts, in my current implementation you will have to put all your charts in a single array for it to work:
const getOrCreateLegendList = (chart, id) => {
const legendContainer = document.getElementById(id);
let listContainer = legendContainer.querySelector('ul');
if (!listContainer) {
listContainer = document.createElement('ul');
listContainer.style.display = 'flex';
listContainer.style.flexDirection = 'row';
listContainer.style.margin = 0;
listContainer.style.padding = 0;
legendContainer.appendChild(listContainer);
}
return listContainer;
};
const htmlLegendPlugin = {
id: 'htmlLegend',
afterUpdate(chart, args, options) {
const ul = getOrCreateLegendList(chart, options.containerID);
// Remove old legend items
while (ul.firstChild) {
ul.firstChild.remove();
}
// Reuse the built-in legendItems generator
const items = chart.options.plugins.legend.labels.generateLabels(chart);
items.forEach(item => {
const li = document.createElement('li');
li.style.alignItems = 'center';
li.style.cursor = 'pointer';
li.style.display = 'flex';
li.style.flexDirection = 'row';
li.style.marginLeft = '10px';
li.onclick = () => {
const {
type
} = chart.config;
if (type === 'pie' || type === 'doughnut') {
// Pie and doughnut charts only have a single dataset and visibility is per item
charts.forEach((chartItem) => {
chartItem.toggleDataVisibility(item.index);
chartItem.update();
})
} else {
charts.forEach((chartItem) => {
chartItem.setDatasetVisibility(item.datasetIndex, !chartItem.isDatasetVisible(item.datasetIndex));
chartItem.update();
})
}
};
// Color box
const boxSpan = document.createElement('span');
boxSpan.style.background = item.fillStyle;
boxSpan.style.borderColor = item.strokeStyle;
boxSpan.style.borderWidth = item.lineWidth + 'px';
boxSpan.style.display = 'inline-block';
boxSpan.style.height = '20px';
boxSpan.style.marginRight = '10px';
boxSpan.style.width = '20px';
// Text
const textContainer = document.createElement('p');
textContainer.style.color = item.fontColor;
textContainer.style.margin = 0;
textContainer.style.padding = 0;
textContainer.style.textDecoration = item.hidden ? 'line-through' : '';
const text = document.createTextNode(item.text);
textContainer.appendChild(text);
li.appendChild(boxSpan);
li.appendChild(textContainer);
ul.appendChild(li);
});
}
};
const options = {
type: 'line',
data: {
labels: ["Red", "Blue", "Yellow", "Green", "Purple", "Orange"],
datasets: [{
label: '# of Votes',
data: [12, 19, 3, 5, 2, 3],
borderColor: 'pink',
backgroundColor: 'pink',
},
{
label: '# of Points',
data: [7, 11, 5, 8, 3, 7],
borderColor: 'yellow',
backgroundColor: 'yellow',
}
]
},
options: {
plugins: {
legend: {
display: false,
},
htmlLegend: {
// ID of the container to put the legend in
containerID: 'chartLegend',
}
}
},
plugins: [htmlLegendPlugin]
}
const options2 = {
type: 'line',
data: {
labels: ["Red", "Blue", "Yellow", "Green", "Purple", "Orange"],
datasets: [{
label: '# of Votes',
data: [4, 9, 13, 15, 12, 6],

}
}
}
}
const ctx = document.getElementById('chartJSContainer').getContext('2d');
const ctx2 = document.getElementById('chartJSContainer2').getContext('2d');
const chart = new Chart(ctx, options);
const chart2 = new Chart(ctx2, options2);
const charts = [chart, chart2];
