How to Implement Chartist.js in Django? - Sмℯґƒ - Dec 8, 2020

I have no fucking idea how to go about adding charts that pull information from my database onto a web page. Do I need a different view for each chart? Do I have to add js stuff? If anyone has helpful resources that arent Pretty Printed on Youtube or official documentation please let me know. I've tried those resources but couldn't figure it out. If anyone has experience with Chartist or is really good with Django I'd be thrilled to have you help me out with this as it's driving me insane.
Edit: Im so lost right now I don't even have code that I need debugging help with I straight up don't know how to do this.

With most .js libraries you implement it the same way you would normally -- or, in other words, the same way as if the website was just a simple HTML/CSS/JS. Then you pass the data via Django's context.

views.py



test.html



I assume you know how to setup urls.py and how Django works in itself. The above will output the following:

Hopefully this helps.
