chartist-plugin-legendTitle

Plugin to create Chartist legend.

Here the demo.

Installation

Please read Chartist official page here on how to add plugin.

And then add this plugin to your code.

Available Options

var options = {
      position: 'top', // Available options: 'top', 'right', 'bottom', 'left'. All options should be `string`
      seriesName: ['Add first seriesName', 'Add second seriesName'], // This options to naming the series in case the series name didn't declared in main chart options.
      width: 'max-content', // This option (optional) determine the width of legends when placed on left or right of the chart.
    };

Important:

Especially when set the legend position on right or left, we should add chartPadding.right or chartPadding.left accordingly where the legend will be positioned in the chart.

Here the example:

<script>
        var data = {
            labels: ['Mon', 'Tue', 'Wed', 'Thu', 'Fri'],
            series: [
                [1, 2, 3, 5, 30],
                [0, 1, 4, 3, 6],
                [0, 3, 2, 3, 4]
            ]
        };

        var options = {
            chartPadding: {
                right: 130 // We set the right padding to give a space for the legend. For this case we give 130 on the right because we want to place the legend on right position.
            },
            plugins: [
                Chartist.plugins.ctLegendTitle({
                    position: 'right', // Legend will be placed on the right of chart.
                    seriesName: ['First series', 'Second series','Third series']
                })
            ]
        };

        new Chartist.Line('.ct-chart', data, options);
</script>
