ChartJS, click event handler, how to extract chart data










0















Let's say I have a bar chart, something like this:



enter image description here



How would I extract data about my click target, for example I would love to get, the color on which user clicked, the appropriate month and year (listed below the vertical bars). I set onClick property as a child of chart options property, and I print out the results (first param is event, second is supposed to be item clicked) and console log output. However I can't really figure out where my needed data is hidden if anywhere at all.



Can anyone help ?



EDIT: Figured out how to extract month and year, only color clicked left.
