Question: Data numbers to money

Just a question here. My data array is money. I use accounting.js to convert to money.

var data = {
    labels: ["January", "February", "March", "April", "May", "June", "July"],
    datasets: [
        {
            label: "My First dataset",
            backgroundColor: [
                'rgba(255, 99, 132, 0.2)',
                'rgba(54, 162, 235, 0.2)',
                'rgba(255, 206, 86, 0.2)',
                'rgba(75, 192, 192, 0.2)',
                'rgba(153, 102, 255, 0.2)',
                'rgba(255, 159, 64, 0.2)'
            ],
            borderColor: [
                'rgba(255,99,132,1)',
                'rgba(54, 162, 235, 1)',
                'rgba(255, 206, 86, 1)',
                'rgba(75, 192, 192, 1)',
                'rgba(153, 102, 255, 1)',
                'rgba(255, 159, 64, 1)'
            ],
            borderWidth: 1,
            data: [65, 59, 80, 81, 56, 55, 40],
        }
    ]
};

Let’s focus on the data array. I need to convert the numbers to money.

var a = accounting.formatMoney(65, "£", 2, ",", ".");
var b = accounting.formatMoney(59, "£", 2, ",", ".");
...

data: [a, b, ...] // This possible?

How to go about this? Is this a StackOverflow question? Thanks.

Let your data be numbers and override the display (coffeescript syntax):

tooltips: callbacks: label: (tooltipItem, data) -> return ' ' + tooltipItem.yLabel + ' £'

scales: yAxes: [ ticks: callback: (tick, index, ticks) -> return tick + ' £' ]

@frlinw Yes. I had to use http://js2.coffee/ 😃 Thanks!
