Chart.js stacked and grouped bar chart
OK, I found the solution. It's described in this GitHub issue and solution is in this JSFiddle
Chart.defaults.groupableBar = Chart.helpers.clone(Chart.defaults.bar);
var helpers = Chart.helpers;
Chart.controllers.groupableBar = Chart.controllers.bar.extend({
calculateBarX: function (index, datasetIndex) {
// position the bars based on the stack index
var stackIndex = this.getMeta().stackIndex;
return Chart.controllers.bar.prototype.calculateBarX.apply(this, [index, stackIndex]);
},
hideOtherStacks: function (datasetIndex) {
var meta = this.getMeta();
var stackIndex = meta.stackIndex;
this.hiddens = [];
for (var i = 0; i < datasetIndex; i++) {
var dsMeta = this.chart.getDatasetMeta(i);
if (dsMeta.stackIndex !== stackIndex) {
this.hiddens.push(dsMeta.hidden);
dsMeta.hidden = true;
}
}
},
unhideOtherStacks: function (datasetIndex) {
var meta = this.getMeta();
var stackIndex = meta.stackIndex;
for (var i = 0; i < datasetIndex; i++) {
var dsMeta = this.chart.getDatasetMeta(i);
if (dsMeta.stackIndex !== stackIndex) {
dsMeta.hidden = this.hiddens.unshift();
}
}
},
calculateBarY: function (index, datasetIndex) {
this.hideOtherStacks(datasetIndex);
var barY = Chart.controllers.bar.prototype.calculateBarY.apply(this, [index, datasetIndex]);
this.unhideOtherStacks(datasetIndex);
return barY;
},
calculateBarBase: function (datasetIndex, index) {
this.hideOtherStacks(datasetIndex);
var barBase = Chart.controllers.bar.prototype.calculateBarBase.apply(this, [datasetIndex, index]);
this.unhideOtherStacks(datasetIndex);
return barBase;
},
getBarCount: function () {
var stacks = [];
// put the stack index in the dataset meta
Chart.helpers.each(this.chart.data.datasets, function (dataset, datasetIndex) {
var meta = this.chart.getDatasetMeta(datasetIndex);
if (meta.bar && this.chart.isDatasetVisible(datasetIndex)) {
var stackIndex = stacks.indexOf(dataset.stack);
if (stackIndex === -1) {
stackIndex = stacks.length;
stacks.push(dataset.stack);
}
meta.stackIndex = stackIndex;
}
}, this);
this.getMeta().stacks = stacks;
return stacks.length;
},
});
var data = {
labels: ["January", "February", "March"],
datasets: [
{
label: "Apples",
backgroundColor: "rgba(99,255,132,0.2)",

stack: 1
},
{

backgroundColor: "rgba(99,132,255,0.2)",

var ctx = document.getElementById("myChart").getContext("2d");
new Chart(ctx, {

You should use the stack property of the dataset object for each dataset.
As you can see in Chart.js Documentation, stack is defined as:
"The ID of the group to which this dataset belongs to (when stacked, each group will be a separate stack)"
I believe this functionality has been introduced recently and in 2016 Chart.js did not have this because of this post
