Chartjs Bar Chart showing old data when hovering

With the approach you are taking (e.g. creating a new Chart object each time the date range changes), then you must first destroy the previous chart and then create the new one.

You can use the .destroy() prototype method to do this. Here is exactly what the API states.

Use this to destroy any chart instances that are created. This will clean up any references stored to the chart object within Chart.js, along with any associated event listeners attached by Chart.js. This must be called before the canvas is reused for a new chart.

Therefore, your code would look something like this (notice that we destroy and re-create).

// define a variable to store the chart instance (this must be outside of your function)
var myChart;

function loadFTPRChart(startdate, enddate) {
  var BCData = {
    labels: [],
    datasets: [{
      label: "Pass %",
      backgroundColor: "#536A7F",
      data: [],
      stack: 1
    }, {
      label: "Fail %",
      backgroundColor: "#e6e6e6",
      data: [],
      stack: 1
    }, {
      label: "Auto %",
      backgroundColor: "#286090",
      data: [],
      stack: 2
    }, {
      label: "Manual %",
      backgroundColor: "#f0f0f0",
      data: [],
      stack: 2
    }]
  };

  $.getJSON("content/FTPR_AM_Graph_ajax.php", {
      startdate: startdate,
      enddate: enddate,
      location: "M"
    })
    .done(function(data) {
      console.log("data", data);
      $.each(data.aaData, function(key, val) {
        if (val == "") {
          return true
        }
        BCData.labels.push("Coater " + val[0]);
        BCData.datasets[0].data.push(parseFloat(val[2]));
        BCData.datasets[1].data.push(parseFloat(100 - val[2]));
        BCData.datasets[2].data.push(parseFloat(val[1]));
        BCData.datasets[3].data.push(parseFloat(100 - val[1]));
      });

      var option = {
        responsive: true,
      };
      console.log("BCData", BCData);

      // if the chart is not undefined (e.g. it has been created)
      // then destory the old one so we can create a new one later
      if (myChart) {
        myChart.destroy();
      }

      var ctx = document.getElementById("mybarChart2").getContext("2d");
      myChart = new Chart(ctx, {
        type: 'groupableBar',
        data: BCData,
        options: {
          scales: {
            yAxes: [{
              ticks: {
                max: 100,
              },
              stacked: true,
            }]
          }
        }
      });
    });
}

With that said, it's expensive the destroy/create over and over and actually it isn't even necessary. There is another prototype method called .update() that you can use to just re-render the chart if you have changed it's underlying data or label objects.

Here is a jsfiddle showing an example of changing the underlying data and labels and then re-rendering the chart. I would highly recommend you take this approach instead.

Here is how your code would look taking this better approach.

// define a variable to store the chart instance (this must be outside of your function)
var myChart;

function loadFTPRChart(startdate, enddate) {
  var BCData = {
    labels: [],
    datasets: [{
      label: "Pass %",
      backgroundColor: "#536A7F",
      data: [],
      stack: 1
    }, {
      label: "Fail %",
      backgroundColor: "#e6e6e6",
      data: [],
      stack: 1
    }, {
      label: "Auto %",
      backgroundColor: "#286090",
      data: [],
      stack: 2
    }, {
      label: "Manual %",
      backgroundColor: "#f0f0f0",
      data: [],
      stack: 2
    }]
  };

  $.getJSON("content/FTPR_AM_Graph_ajax.php", {
      startdate: startdate,
      enddate: enddate,
      location: "M"
    })
    .done(function(data) {
      console.log("data", data);
      $.each(data.aaData, function(key, val) {
        if (val == "") {
          return true
        }
        BCData.labels.push("Coater " + val[0]);
        BCData.datasets[0].data.push(parseFloat(val[2]));
        BCData.datasets[1].data.push(parseFloat(100 - val[2]));
        BCData.datasets[2].data.push(parseFloat(val[1]));
        BCData.datasets[3].data.push(parseFloat(100 - val[1]));
      });

      var option = {
        responsive: true,
      };
      console.log("BCData", BCData);

      // if the chart is not undefined (e.g. it has been created)
      // then just update the underlying labels and data for each
      // dataset and re-render the chart
      if (myChart) {
        myChart.data.labels = BCData.labels;
        myChart.data.datasets[0].data = BCData.datasets[0].data;
        myChart.data.datasets[1].data = BCData.datasets[1].data;
        myChart.data.datasets[2].data = BCData.datasets[2].data;
        myChart.data.datasets[3].data = BCData.datasets[3].data;
        myChart.update();
      } else {
        // otherwise, this is the first time we are loading so create the chart
        var ctx = document.getElementById("mybarChart2").getContext("2d");
        myChart = new Chart(ctx, {
          type: 'groupableBar',
          data: BCData,
          options: {
            scales: {
              yAxes: [{
                ticks: {
                  max: 100,
                },
                stacked: true,
              }]
            }
          }
        });
      }
    });
}

This is chartjs trick i found

var ctxLine = document.getElementById("line-chart").getContext("2d");
if(window.bar != undefined) 
window.bar.destroy(); 
window.bar = new Chart(ctxLine, {});

It will help you...

Check whether MyChart have already configurations or not, If it exist clear it with destroy(); method, And bind new configuration to canvas.

Sample Code..

if (window.MyChart != undefined)
{
    window.MyChart.destroy();
}
window.MyChart = new Chart(ctx, MyChartconfig);

There is a simple solution for this, which can be done in JS itself.

let's say your html has something like below

<div id="chartContainer">
 <canvas id="mybarChart2"></canvas>
</div>

Then in your script, you can add below lines of code before updating the data.

document.getElementById("chartContainer").innerHTML = '&nbsp;';
document.getElementById("chartContainer").innerHTML = '<canvas id="mybarChart2"></canvas>';
var ctx = document.getElementById("mybarChart2").getContext("2d");

This solved my issue.
