Hiden Gridline in chart JS

I try to hide the Gridline of Chart.js . But I can not hide it. I want a chart like the one below.
But the result of the charting is not what I expected
I can not hoiden it. Besides, vertical can not bold. Here is the config chart (I am using angular and chart js library)
this.chartDemo = {
title: {
display: false,
},
legend: {
position: 'right',
display: false,
},
scales: {
xAxes: [
{
ticks: {
beginAtZero: true,
max: 100,
min: 0,
},
gridLines: {
drawOnChartArea: false
},
display: false,
},
],
yAxes: [
{
display: this.handleShow(),
gridLines: {
drawOnChartArea: false
}
},
],
},
responsive: false,
plugins: {
grace: {
grace: 2,
hardMax: true,
},
datalabels: {
anchor: 'end',
align: 'end',
rotation: 0,
padding: 12,
clip: false,
labels: {
value: {
color: '#000',
},
},
font: {
size: '12',
weight: 'bold',
},
},
},
};
Please give me the solution

You can set display:false on gridLines attribute, like this:
scales: {
yAxes: [{
stacked: true,
gridLines: {
display: false,
}
}],
xAxes: [{
gridLines: {
display: false
}
}]
}
Here is working snippet:
var data = {
labels: ["Jan", "Feb", "Mar", "Apr", "May", "Jun", "Jul"],
datasets: [{
label: "Dataset #1",
backgroundColor: "rgba(255,99,132,0.2)",
borderColor: "rgba(255,99,132,1)",
borderWidth: 2,
hoverBackgroundColor: "rgba(255,99,132,0.4)",
hoverBorderColor: "rgba(255,99,132,1)",
data: [65, 59, 20, 81, 56, 55, 40],
}]
};
var options = {
maintainAspectRatio: false,
scales: {
yAxes: [{
stacked: true,
gridLines: {
display: false
}
}],
xAxes: [{
gridLines: {
display: false
}
}]
}
};
Chart.Bar('chart', {
options: options,
data: data
});
console.clear();
body {
background: #1D1F20;
padding: 16px;
}
canvas {
border: 1px dotted red;
}
.chart-container {
position: relative;
margin: auto;
height: 80vh;
width: 80vw;
}

<div class="chart-container">

Remove padding from chartJs horizontal bar chart

Hey :) thanks in advance for helping me out on this issue.
I have a horizontal chart in ChartJs with some dummy info. I currently want to line it up with the statistic above it. In ChartJs the charts get rendered inside a <canvas> tag. I want to remove the spacing in the chart. I'm assuming this is padding but its not on the canvas it's within the chart itself. I've read up on the docs and tried a few of the choices.
Just some extra info, I customized the chart and it now looks like this:
Removed the legend
Flipped the labels
Changed the label colour
Removed the grid lines
HTML:
<canvas id="myChart" width="400" height="150"></canvas>
var ctx = document.getElementById('myChart').getContext('2d');
var myChart = new Chart(ctx, {
type: 'horizontalBar',
data: {
labels: ['1', '2'],
datasets: [{
label: 'Money in',
data: [5, 19],
backgroundColor: [
'rgb(0,51,160)',
'rgb(26,121,191)'
],
borderWidth: 0
}]
},
options: {
scales: {
yAxes: [{
ticks: {
fontColor: 'white',
display: true,
position: top,
mirror: true,
beginAtZero: true,
fontSize: 17,
padding: -9,
z: 1
},
gridLines: {
display: false
}
}],
xAxes: [{
gridLines: {
display: false
},
ticks: {
beginAtZero: true,
display: false
}
}]
},
legend: {
display: false
}
}
});

You can define the layout with negative left padding as follows:
options: {
layout: {
padding: {
left: -10
}
},
...
Please have a look at the following code snippet where the chart canvas is defined with a border in order to emphasize the alignment with the preceding text.
var myChart = new Chart(document.getElementById('myChart'), {
type: 'horizontalBar',
data: {
labels: ['1', '2'],
datasets: [{
label: 'Money in',
data: [5, 19],
backgroundColor: ['rgb(0,51,160)', 'rgb(26,121,191)'],
borderWidth: 0
}]
},
options: {
layout: {
padding: {
left: -10
}
},
scales: {
yAxes: [{
ticks: {
fontColor: 'white',
mirror: true,
beginAtZero: true,
fontSize: 17,
padding: -9,
z: 1
},
gridLines: {
display: false
}
}],
xAxes: [{
gridLines: {
display: false
},
ticks: {
beginAtZero: true,
display: false
}
}]
},
legend: {
display: false
}
}
});
canvas{
max-width: 300px;
border: 1px solid #000;
}

Removing axes lines on chart.js

I have been working with some Chart.js and I have been trying to figure out how to remove the axis lines on a chart.
You can see the grid lines I am trying to remove in this image.
I have managed to remove the grid lines that appear within the chart where the data is represented, but I am having an issue removing these two lines.
You can see the chart.js I have created for the chart below.
var ctx = document.getElementById("volCause").getContext('2d');
var volCause_Doughnut = new Chart(ctx, {
type: 'horizontalBar',
data: {
labels: <?php echo $cause_label_json?>,
datasets: [{
backgroundColor: benefactoGraph_colours,
data: <?php echo $cause_value_json?>
}]
},
options: {
maintainAspectRatio: false,
legend: {
display: false,
},
scales: {
xAxes: [{
scaleLabel: {
display: true,
labelString: 'Volunteer Hours',
},
gridLines: {
display: false,
},
}],
yAxes: [{
gridLines: {
display: false,
}
}]
}
}
});
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

You need to set the drawBorder property of grid-lines to false in order to remove those axis lines, like so :
...
scales: {
xAxes: [{
scaleLabel: {
display: true,
labelString: 'Volunteer Hours',
},
gridLines: {
display: false,
drawBorder: false //<- set this
},
}],
yAxes: [{
gridLines: {
display: false,
drawBorder: false //<- set this
}
}]
}
...

You can set display: false in your axis object
scales: {
xAxes: [{
display: false,
gridLines: {}
}],
yAxes: [{
display: false,
gridLines: {}
}]
}

The other answers are correct for different versions of chart.js, but as of Jan 2020, with version 2.9.3, I was able to resolve the issue by nesting display: false inside of gridlines as follows:
...
, options:
scales: {
xAxes: [{
gridLines: {
display: false
},
...

Chart JS Error: Chart is not defined Firefox

I am new to Chart JS, I am currently using it in Angular JS version 1.5.3 and Chart JS I am using version 2.1.4 this is my code below
var myChart = new Chart(ctx, {
type: 'line',
data: {
labels: dates,
datasets: [{
label: 'Player Count',
data: count,
backgroundColor: "rgba(153,255,51,0.6)"
}]
},
options: {
tooltips: {titleFontSize:29, bodyFontSize:29},
scales: {
xAxes: [{
display: true,
gridLines: {
display: true
},
ticks: {
fontColor: '#000000'
},
scaleLabel: {
display: true,
labelString: 'Date',
fontColor: '#000000'
}

},
scaleLabel: {
display: true,

fontColor: '#000000'
}
}]
}
}
});
I am seeing my chart displayed in Chrome, but in Firefox I am getting this error
Error: Chart is not defined
I am not sure what is the reason, any feedback will help thanks

This is because, ChartJS library is not being loaded by the time you are creating the chart.
You should rather initialize your chart on window onload event, like so ...
var app = angular.module('app', []);
app.controller("myCtrl", function($scope) {
$scope.load = function() {
var myChart = new Chart(canvas, {
type: 'line',
data: {
labels: ['Jan', 'Feb', 'Mar'],
datasets: [{
label: 'Player Count',
data: [1, 2, 3],
backgroundColor: "rgba(153,255,51,0.6)"
}]
},
options: {
tooltips: {
titleFontSize: 29,
bodyFontSize: 29
},
scales: {
xAxes: [{
display: true,
gridLines: {
display: true
},
ticks: {
fontColor: '#000000'
},
scaleLabel: {
display: true,
labelString: 'Date',
fontColor: '#000000'
}
}],
yAxes: [{
display: true,
gridLines: {
display: true
},
ticks: {
fontColor: '#000000'
},
scaleLabel: {
display: true,
labelString: 'Player Count',
fontColor: '#000000'
}
}]
}
}
});
}
});

<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/Chart.js/2.6.0/Chart.min.js"></script>

You have to provide the path to chart.js without / at the beginning.
