How to make labels clickable in angular-chart

by

You can use the getPointsAtEvent event to detect the closest point on the graph, and retrieve its associated label. The problem is that you cannot detect a click directly on a label element as it as drawn as text in the <canvas> element.

Demo :

angular.module( 'app', ['tc.chartjs']);

angular.module( 'app' )
.controller( 'AppController', function( $scope ) {
    
    $scope.chart;
    
    $scope.chartClick = function( event ) {
    
      var pointsClicked = $scope.chart.getPointsAtEvent(event); 
    	if (!pointsClicked || pointsClicked.length == 0)
      	return;
    
      if (pointsClicked[0].label)
        $scope.label = 'You clicked on ' + pointsClicked[0].label;
    };

    
    // Chart.js Data
    $scope.data = {
      labels: ['January', 'February', 'March', 'April', 'May', 'June', 'July'],
      datasets: [
        {
          label: 'My First dataset',
          fillColor: 'rgba(220,220,220,0.2)',
          strokeColor: 'rgba(220,220,220,1)',
          pointColor: 'rgba(220,220,220,1)',
          pointStrokeColor: '#fff',
          pointHighlightFill: '#fff',
          pointHighlightStroke: 'rgba(220,220,220,1)',
          data: [65, 59, 80, 81, 56, 55, 40]
        }
      ]
    };

    // Chart.js Options
    $scope.options =  {
      // Sets the chart to be responsive
      responsive: true
    };

    
});
