Connecting points between missing data in chart.js

Question

I\'m using chart.js and I have some missing data between multiple day entries at certain points in my chart. I\'ve assigned these values null, but would like the chart to dr

Answer 1

I had the same problem and i've modified this version like this:

                    var lastPoint = null;
                helpers.each(dataset.points, function (point, index) {

                    if (!point.ignore && dataset.skipNullValues && lastPoint) {
                        ctx.beginPath();
                        ctx.moveTo(lastPoint.x, lastPoint.y);

                        if (this.options.bezierCurve) {
                            ctx.bezierCurveTo(
                                lastPoint.controlPoints.outer.x,
                                lastPoint.controlPoints.outer.y,
                                point.controlPoints.inner.x,
                                point.controlPoints.inner.y,
                                point.x,
                                point.y
                            );
                        } else {
                            ctx.lineTo(point.x, point.y);
                        }
                        ctx.stroke();
                    }

                    if (index > 0 && !dataset.points[index - 1].ignore && !point.ignore) {
                        if (this.options.bezierCurve) {
                            ctx.bezierCurveTo(
                                dataset.points[index - 1].controlPoints.outer.x,
                                dataset.points[index - 1].controlPoints.outer.y,
                                point.controlPoints.inner.x,
                                point.controlPoints.inner.y,
                                point.x,
                                point.y
                            );
                        }
                        else {
                            ctx.lineTo(point.x, point.y);
                        }

                        lastPoint = point;
                    }
                    else if (index === 0 || !point.ignore) {
                        ctx.moveTo(point.x, point.y);

                        if (!point.ignore) {
                            lastPoint = point;
                        }
                    }

                }, this);

For a better structure i have set a property for the dataset called "skipNullValues":

            var datasetObject = {
                label: dataset.label || null,
                fillColor: dataset.fillColor,
                strokeColor: dataset.strokeColor,
                pointColor: dataset.pointColor,
                pointStrokeColor: dataset.pointStrokeColor,
                tooltip: dataset.tooltip,
                line: dataset.line,
                fill: dataset.fill,
                points: [],
                skipNullValues: dataset.skipNullValues
            };

Here is the full working version!

Maybe there is a better solution, but for my uses it works.

Let me know if it is working for you!
