Can't get started

[adrianTNT]

Documentation Is:

• Missing or needed?
• Confusing
• Not sure?

Please Explain in Detail...

I have big troubles getting started with chartjs even thou I used it some years ago.
I thought chart.js was supposed to be easy to implement and get started.

Take this sample chart for example: linear-gradient
It just shows some random code split under tabs (Get Gradient | Config | Setup | Actions).
What am I supposed to do with that code?
I was expecting to also see the needed html code and maybe a <script> tag that includes the chartjs script.

Your Proposal for Changes

Include working samples, rather than partial code.

Example

If you look at the samples page, it does mention at the top the samples cannot be used directly https://www.chartjs.org/docs/latest/samples/information.html, the page you need is here https://www.chartjs.org/docs/latest/getting-started/usage.html

This repository may help as well https://github.com/asmenezes/ChartJS-Sample, where the main branch shows everything in one file, and the other two branches get progressively more split up, like the samples that cannot be directly copied. Hopefully it makes connecting the dots easier
