<line-chart :chart-data="datacollection" :options="options"></line-chart>
</template>
<script>
import { Line } from 'vue-chartjs'
export default {
components: {
LineChart: Line
},
data () {
return {
datacollection: {
labels: ['January', 'February', 'March', 'April', 'May', 'June', 'July'],
datasets: [
{
label: 'Data One',
backgroundColor: '#f87979',
data: [40, 39, 10, 40, 39, 80, 40]
}
]
},
options: {
responsive: true,
maintainAspectRatio: false
}
}
}
}
</script>
```

</template>
<script>
import { Bar } from 'vue-chartjs'
