I have a collection of projects, each of which have a completion date. I am trying to display it on a horizontal bar graph such that the label is on the y-axis and the completion date is on the x-axis, as in this image: Target axis. I am currently using Chart.js
The problem I am encountering is that Chart.js seems to be incapable of interpreting my data as dates - instead it evaluates it (for example, 2017-02-10 is interpreted as 2005). Based on the documentation at chartjs.org/docs/#scales-time-scale, I have tried to use Moment.js to parse my date strings into moments, but it can't render it.
My best guess is that, since it's a horizontal bar graph, my x-axis values are being treated like y-axis values, and the documentation states that the time scale is only supported on the x-axis.
Is there some workaround that would allow me to use dates as the data, so that it looks like this image, but with the axes from the first image? If not, is there another library I could use that does support this? I haven't found any examples of people using time scales on a horizontal graph, so I don't know if other libraries like CanvasJS can do it either.
Thanks.
