cannot create horizontal bar chart about ng2-charts HOT 2 CLOSED

horizontalBar is not a supported chart type according to ChartJs docs: https://www.chartjs.org/docs/latest/charts/area.html

from ng2-charts.

I feel you are supposed to be able to make a horizontal bar chart by setting it under the options for the bar chart in question.
options: { indexAxis: y }
The documentation in chart.js shows that you should be able to make a horizontal bar chart through setting the indexAxis to why under options: https://www.chartjs.org/docs/latest/samples/bar/horizontal.html

It does not seem this is supported in ng2-charts

For example, the following does not work:

(properties in myChart.component.ts)
public lineChartOptions = {
indexAxis: 'y',
responsive: true
};
public lineChartLabels = ['January', 'February', 'March', 'April', 'May', 'June', 'July'];
public lineChartType : ChartType = 'bar';
public lineChartLegend = true;
public lineChartData = [
{ data: [65, 59, 80, 81, 56, 55, 40], label: 'Series A' }
];

(myChart.component.html)
div style="display: block; width: 50vw">
<canvas baseChart
[datasets]="lineChartData"
[labels]="lineChartLabels"
[options]="lineChartOptions"
[legend]="lineChartLegend"
[type]="lineChartType"
>

/div>

type error:
Type '{ indexAxis: string; responsive: boolean; }' is not assignable to type '_DeepPartialObject<CoreChartOptions & ElementChartOptions & PluginChartOptions<...> & DatasetChartOptions<...> & ScaleChartOptions<...>>'.
