How can I push data to an array within an object?

I'm not sure how I can push data to the "data" property within "decData".

        var decData = {
            labels: [],
            datasets: [

                {
                    fillColor: "rgba(151,187,205,0.5)",
                    strokeColor: "rgba(151,187,205,1)",
                    data: []
                }
            ]
        }

Here is the code I'm using that isn't working

        decData.datasets.data.push(dayProfit);

Could anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? The error is

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot call method 'push' of undefined

You can always add a push method to your object:

var decData = {
        ...
        push: function (value){
            this.datasets[0].data.push(value);
        }
    }

now you can use this method:

decData.push(dayProfit);

But you have have to ask yourself the question, is the first data set the only place you want to push data to? cause this is what the code does.

I your code, datasets is an array. Try this:

decData.datasets[0].data.push("stuff");

Good Luck!

Your datasets object is an array, so you would need to address an element within the array:

decData.datasets[0].data.push(dayProfit);
