Issue with Updating Charts -> Adding or Removing Data code example about chart.js HOT 4 CLOSED

The functions in https://www.chartjs.org/docs/4.4.0/samples/bar/horizontal.html seems to work fine. Can you give an example where it does not work, what happens and what did you expect?

from chart.js.

Sorry, I should have been more specific. It's the code on this docs page: https://www.chartjs.org/docs/4.4.0/developers/updates.html#adding-or-removing-data

Specifically these two functions:

function addData(chart, label, newData) {
    chart.data.labels.push(label);
    chart.data.datasets.forEach((dataset) => {
        dataset.data.push(newData);
    });
    chart.update();
}

function removeData(chart) {
    chart.data.labels.pop();
    chart.data.datasets.forEach((dataset) => {
        dataset.data.pop();
    });
    chart.update();
}

With a chart that has more than one element in chart.data.labels, removeData only removes one, so the chart ends up with leftover stale data.

from chart.js.

The current functions work as expected. They are not meant to replace or remove all the data.

They are meant to add a data entry to each dataset or remove a data entry from each dataset and that is exactly what the example is showing

from chart.js.

Ah ok thanks for clarifying. I misunderstood the intent of the functions. I'll close this.
