Updating Chart Type in ChartJS
It helps to display a chart in different forms, sometimes.
Different charts are good are portraying data in different ways, and when I needed to swap a chart between Radar and Bar types I found that the “only” way to do so is by destroying the chart using CHART_REF.destroy()
and recreating it with the new type.
Depending on how you structured it, the dataset can remain the same in some cases, though it depends on how you want to display it.
