parseTime for Bar Charts - be or not to be?

[Demitrius]

Hello,

As I understand, where is no parseTime, dateFormat implementations for Bar charts,
What can I do in this case?

Looks not good if two charts will have different metrix

Use string as xkey not solution coz in some case I need display hours on x, but full date for hint.

Please help!

Hello,

That is a bit complicated to bring the option parseTime to bar charts. Instead, it is much easier to define a new line type for Line charts. I just made a commit on my fork of Morris.js.

With this code:

Morris.Line({
	element: 'chart_line',
	data: [
		{ year: '1958', nb: 9, e: 10 },
		{ year: '1962', nb: 4, e: 20 },
		{ year: '1970', nb: 2, e: 40 },
		{ year: '1994', nb: 1, e: 90 },
		{ year: '2002', nb: 1, e: 90 }
	],
	xkey: 'year',
	ykeys: ['nb', 'e'],
	labels: ['Editions Wins', 'e'],
	parseTime: true,
	pointSize: 0,
	dataLabels: false,
	lineType: 'vertical',
	lineWidth: 10
});

You should get something like this:
