public chartOptions = {
  tooltips: {
    callbacks: {
      label: function(tooltipItem, data) {
        // Additional tooltip customization here
        return 'Your custom tooltip label';
      }
    },
    bodyFontSize: 14,
    bodyFontStyle: 'bold',
    backgroundColor: 'rgba(255, 99, 132, 0.8)',  // tooltip background color
    bodyFontColor: '#fff',  // tooltip text color
    padding: 10  // change the padding here
  }
};


  1. Use the chartOptions in your chart creation code:

public lineChartData: ChartDataSets[] = [
  { data: [65, 59, 80, 81, 56, 55, 40], label: 'Series A' }
];
public lineChartLabels: Label[] = ['January', 'February', 'March', 'April', 'May', 'June', 'July'];
public lineChartOptions = {
  scales: {
    yAxes: [{
      ticks: {
        beginAtZero: true
      }
    }]
  },
  tooltips: this.chartOptions.tooltips  // use the chart options here
}

public lineChartType: ChartType = 'line';
public lineChartLegend = true;

// Create the chart
ngOnInit() {
  this.chart = new Chart('canvas', {
    type: this.lineChartType,
    data: {
      labels: this.lineChartLabels,
      datasets: this.lineChartData
    },
    options: this.lineChartOptions
  });
}


By customizing the padding option in the tooltip configuration, you can change the padding of the tooltip in your Chart.js chart in Angular 7/8.


How to change tooltip interactive mode on Angular 7/8 from Chart.js?

To change the tooltip interactive mode in Chart.js for an Angular 7/8 application, you can use the options object of the Chart component.


Here is an example code snippet on how to change the tooltip interactive mode to true:

import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { ChartOptions } from 'chart.js';

@Component({
  selector: 'app-chart',
  templateUrl: './chart.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./chart.component.css']
})
export class ChartComponent implements OnInit {
  
  public lineChartOptions: ChartOptions = {
    responsive: true,
    tooltips: {
      mode: 'index',
      intersect: false,
      position: 'nearest',
      enabled: true
    }
  };

  constructor() { }

  ngOnInit() {
  }

}


In this code snippet, we have defined the lineChartOptions object with the tooltips property, where we set the enabled property to true. This will enable the interactive mode for the tooltips in the chart.


You can customize the tooltip interaction behavior further by modifying the other properties of the tooltips object, such as mode, intersect, and position.


Make sure to set this lineChartOptions object in your Chart component HTML template using the [options] attribute of the baseChart component.

<canvas baseChart
        [data]="lineChartData"
        [labels]="lineChartLabels"
        [options]="lineChartOptions"
        [chartType]="lineChartType">
</canvas>


By following this approach, you can easily change the tooltip interactive mode in Chart.js for your Angular 7/8 application.

import { Chart } from 'chart.js';

@Component({
  selector: 'app-chart',
  templateUrl: './chart.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./chart.component.css']
})
export class ChartComponent implements OnInit {
  chart: any;

  ngOnInit() {
    this.chart = new Chart('canvas', {
      type: 'bar',
      data: {
        labels: ['January', 'February', 'March', 'April', 'May', 'June', 'July'],
        datasets: [{
          label: 'Sales',
          data: [65, 59, 80, 81, 56, 55, 40]
        }]
      },
      options: {
        tooltips: {
          backgroundColor: '#f00' // Change the background color of the tooltip labels here
        }
      }
    });
  }
}


In this example, we have set the backgroundColor property in the tooltips object to #f00, which represents a red color. You can replace #f00 with any color code you prefer to change the tooltip label background color.

        }
        tableRoot.innerHTML = innerHtml;
      }

      let position = this.chart.canvas.getBoundingClientRect();

      // Display, position, and set styles for font
      tooltipEl.style.opacity = '1';
      tooltipEl.style.left = position.left + window.pageXOffset + tooltipModel.caretX + 'px';
      tooltipEl.style.top = position.top + window.pageYOffset + tooltipModel.caretY + 'px';
      tooltipEl.style.fontFamily = tooltipModel._bodyFontFamily;
      tooltipEl.style.fontSize = tooltipModel.bodyFontSize + 'px';

  chartType = 'bar';

  // Initialize the chart
  chart = [];

  ngAfterViewInit() {
    const ctx = document.getElementById('myChart');
    this.chart = new Chart(ctx, {
      type: this.chartType,
      data: this.chartData,
      options: this.chartOptions
    });
  }
}


  1. In your component's HTML file, add the canvas element with an id of myChart:
1
<canvas id="myChart" width="400" height="400"></canvas>


By specifying the borderWidth property in the tooltips object of the chartOptions, you can adjust the width of the tooltip border in your Chart.js chart. Customize the chartOptions object with other tooltip properties as needed.
