show label in tooltip but not in x axis for chartjs line chart

Question

I currently am using a line chart with chart.js, and have a label set that looks like this [\"January 2015\", \"February 2015\", \"March 2015\", \"April 2015\", \"May

Answer 1

For anyone looking to achieve this on Chart JS V2 the following will work:

 var options =  {  
         scales: {
            xAxes: [{
                afterTickToLabelConversion: function(data){


                var xLabels = data.ticks;

                xLabels.forEach(function (labels, i) {
                    if (i % 2 == 1){
                        xLabels[i] = '';
                    }
                });
            } 
        }]   
    }
}

Then pass the options variable as usual into a:

myLineChart = new Chart(ctx, {
    type: 'line',
    data: data,
    options: options
});`
