[Chartjs]-Horizontal xAxis labels in Chart.js

You can use the scale ticks maxRotation and minRotation properties to control this.

Here is an example.

let options = {
    responsive: true,
    maintainAspectRatio: false,
    scales: {
        yAxes: [{
            ticks: {
                beginAtZero: true
            }
        }],
        xAxes: [{
            ticks: {
                minRotation: 0,
                maxRotation: 0
            }
        }]
    }
};

Keep in mind that the reason they are diagonal is because chart.js calculated that they would not fit at their default horizontal orientation. If you find that they overflow on each other when horizontal then you can still use the above properties to tweak the rotation so they are only slightly diagonal.
