from django.views.generic import TemplateView
from chartjs.views.lines import BaseLineChartView
class LineChartJSONView(BaseLineChartView):
def get_labels(self):
"""Return 7 labels for the x-axis."""
return ["January", "February", "March", "April", "May", "June", "July"]
def get_providers(self):
"""Return names of datasets."""
return ["Central", "Eastside", "Westside"]
def get_data(self):
"""Return 3 datasets to plot."""
return [[75, 44, 92, 11, 44, 95, 35],
[41, 92, 18, 3, 73, 87, 92],
[87, 21, 94, 3, 90, 13, 65]]
line_chart = TemplateView.as_view(template_name='line_chart.html')
line_chart_json = LineChartJSONView.as_view()
3. Update urls.py with the new urls for TemplateView and AJAX call 'line_chart_json' as in chart.html +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
