I have previously been using ChartJS to generate a dashboard in a custom community using Lightning Components. It appears that the Spring 17 release does not like the ChartJS library. I get 2 separate errors, one for each chart I'm generating.

For a bar chart I'm using, I get a "str.replace is not a function" when trying to generate the chart.

For a Pie chart I'm using, I get a popup error in builder when I try to generate the legend: 'Refused to evaluate a string as JavaScript because 'unsafe-eval' is not an allowed source of script in the following Content Security Policy directive: "script-src *".'

So, 2 questions: 1. Is anyone else seeing this? 2. What alternative JS libraries are you using for custom charts in communities?

  • Have you experienced any issues with ChartJS components breaking between page changes? I have the same component on two different pages. They both work fine when I refresh to load each page. But when I click a community navigation link and the page uses the single-page-app version of navigation, all the ChartJS components will break. Any ideas what this is or how to fix it?

  • I should add that no JS errors appear in the console from Aura or standard JS. If I attempt to fire any ChartJS api events on the chart object (which does actually get created), the API reacts, but doesn't repaint any elements on the screen.

We've been using ChartJS 2.1.4 under LockerService with no known issues. What version are you using?

The second error about unsafe-eval is because it violates the CSP unsafe-eval requirement (eval is not supported in any form). This has been part of the published Lightning Security requirements that are now enforced in Spring'17:

  • Hmm, I upgraded to 2.4 and keep getting a "Failed to create chart: can't acquire context from the given item". Looks like I'll need to open another question. None of the 4 variations for defining ctx from chartjs.org/docs seem to be working.

  • @JasonBenkert this looks to be an issue with Locker's implementation of SecureElement.getContext() - should return an instance of CanvasRenderingContext2D and its returning the generic wrapper Locker creates as a fallback. We will get this fixed asap.

  • Created bug W-3624260 to track this and we'll get it triaged/fixed - no workaround currently. Sorry for the inconvenience.
