Passing Objects to Datasets?

I have a single dataset of events (objects) that I want to populate in a line chart. Here’s an example event:

{
    y: 25,
    name: "Test Event",
    date: "2015-06-30"
}

All of these events are members of a single data set (a single line). Is there a way to pass the data from these objects to a custom tooltip so that when I hover over a point (an event), I can see the metadata (perhaps in the tooltip template)?

All the samples I’ve seen show the data to be an array of integers only, with no access to any other metadata.

@kurti-vdb I’m not sure why it’s not working for you - seems to work for me! I’ve added an answer at your Stack Overflow question.

For others coming here, a clarification about that SO question: that answer is not overriding toString because Chart.js will use the value of the field y as the value to plot, so this:

data: [ 1, 2, 3 ]

is equivalent to:

data: [ {y: 1}, {y: 2}, {y: 3} ]
