Why we created these #chartjs and #javascript video tutorials?

WHY
Creating charts in javascript is very rewarding but extremely challenging. The Chart JS library made it easier to render charts. However the chart js documentation is hard to understand for many. It requires a lot of different moving parts to work along. The canvas tag, javascript, arrays and Chart JS all need to be combined to draw an eye catching bar chart or line chart.

The videos explains the chart js documentation in a more visual and easy to understand way. You can follow along with the code and quickly grasp how it works. We cover the code in chart js but also what truly happens and why something happens when we write a line of code. This fundamental understanding gives clarity to you as a developer in chartjs. In short it is the Chart JS video documentation.

HOW
We answer questions from YOU (viewers) by creating an answer video that covers the questions YOU have posted in the comment section.

WHAT
Our goal is to help YOU learn how to draw charts in Chart JS by showing you in video format how to do it.

Hi I have been following you tutorial on scroll it was really nice.

However I was waiting for a video where you said I could just drag and drop the scroll via mouse, have you completed that video or made any similar one ?

[sivarmu]

This solution is excellent, I could implement in my static data of an HTML page, and Also in a dynamic data driven React JS webpage. It works great in the React page as well.

But here I do have one particular issue. The issue is: when the chart loads for the first time and the data is huge in number (almost loads 1000 horizontal bars), the first load doesn't make the second canvas x-axis aligned with the above canvas.
But if I am selecting another filter, and the page loads, then it appears fine automatically. Any solution around this please.
Thank You so much Chat JS team.
