Horizontal bar graph using ng2-charts in angular2

For anyone who was wondering about the same thing - i looked into the documentation for chart.js and was able to find just changing the bar chart type to horizontalBar works nicely. public barChartType: string = 'horizontalBar';

Bar charts can be used by adjusting the "chartType" option within your baseChart canvas.

<canvas baseChart
        [datasets]="data"
        [labels]="label"
        chartType="horizontalBar">
