Moving vertical line when hovering over the chart using chart.js
Try this:
var ctx = this.$refs.canvas.getContext("2d");
// new Chart(ctx, config);
var originalLineDraw = Chart.controllers.line.prototype.draw;
Chart.helpers.extend(Chart.controllers.line.prototype, {
draw: function() {
originalLineDraw.apply(this, arguments);
var chart = this.chart;
var ctx = chart.chart.ctx;
if (this.chart.tooltip._active && this.chart.tooltip._active.length) {
var activePoint = this.chart.tooltip._active[0];
var ctx = this.chart.ctx;
var x = activePoint.tooltipPosition().x;
var topY = this.chart.scales['y-axis-0'].top;
var bottomY = this.chart.scales['y-axis-0'].bottom;
// draw line
ctx.save();
ctx.beginPath();
ctx.moveTo(x, topY);
ctx.lineTo(x, bottomY);
ctx.lineWidth = 0.5;
ctx.strokeStyle = '#eeeeee';
ctx.stroke();
ctx.restore();
}
}});
This will definitely help you.

Chart.defaults.LineWithLine = Chart.defaults.line;
Chart.controllers.LineWithLine = Chart.controllers.line.extend({
draw: function(ease) {
Chart.controllers.line.prototype.draw.call(this, ease);
if (this.chart.tooltip._active && this.chart.tooltip._active.length) {
var activePoint = this.chart.tooltip._active[0],
ctx = this.chart.ctx,
x = activePoint.tooltipPosition().x,
topY = this.chart.legend.bottom,
bottomY = this.chart.chartArea.bottom;
// draw line
ctx.save();
ctx.beginPath();
ctx.moveTo(x, topY);
ctx.lineTo(x, bottomY);
ctx.lineWidth = 2;
ctx.strokeStyle = '#07C';
ctx.stroke();
ctx.restore();
}
}
});
You would also need to set intersect: false
for tooltips.
