To customize the legend labels in Chart.js to display as dashed lines that match the style of the lines in the chart, you can use the following code snippet:
```javascript
var config = {
type: 'line',
data: {
labels: ['January', 'February', 'March', 'April', 'May', 'June', 'July'],
datasets: [{
label: 'Dataset 1',
data: [65, 59, 80, 81, 56, 55, 40],
borderColor: 'red',
borderDash: [5, 5] // Set borderDash to define a dashed line
}, {
label: 'Dataset 2',
data: [28, 48, 40, 19, 86, 27, 90],
borderColor: 'blue',
borderDash: [5, 5] // Set borderDash to define a dashed line
}]
},
options: {
legend: {
labels: {
// Use the same line style as in the datasets
filter: function(legendItem, chartData) {
if (legendItem.datasetIndex && chartData.datasets[legendItem.datasetIndex].borderDash) {
legendItem.lineStyle = chartData.datasets[legendItem.datasetIndex].borderDash;
}
return true;
}
}
}
}
};
```
In this code snippet, we defined two datasets with dashed lines using the `borderDash` property. Then, we customized the legend labels to display the same line style as in the datasets by using the filter function in the legend options. The `filter` function checks if the dataset has a `borderDash` defined and sets the `lineStyle` of the legend item accordingly.
By using this code snippet, the legend labels in Chart.js will display as dashed lines that match the style of the lines in the chart.
