HTML FILE

I want to update the chart.js generated graph after every 10 second without reload of page .In this i am using getTankData() to get all the data from backend and update graph elements but the graph is not getting updated until i reload the page.But i want to update it automatically without reload.

<div class="container">

    <div class="row">
    <div class="col-md-3">
      <h2>User Water Graph</h2>

    </div>
      <div class="col-md-9">
        <div style="display: block;">
        <canvas id="myChart" baseChart *ngIf="time_data && water_data.length > 0"
          width="700" height="400"
                    [datasets]="lineChartData"
                    [labels]="lineChartLabels"
                    [options]="lineChartOptions"
                    [colors]="lineChartColors"
                    [legend]="lineChartLegend"
                    [chartType]="lineChartType"></canvas>

your empty array is always presented while new data arrives form backend before completing a loop.so please remove your array form the function you called and initiate your empty array at the beginning.

ngOnInit(){
this.time_data = [];
this.water_data = [];
 }

Where are you calling getTankData every 10 seconds?

Add this to to your TypeScript File:

import { ChangeDetectorRef } from '@angular/core';


 constructor(private ref: ChangeDetectorRef){}

 ngOnInit(){

   //Call it every 10 seconds
   setInterval(this.getTankData(), 10000);
}



 //add an change detector at the end of your getTankData function

   getTankData(){
     ...
    this.ref.detectChanges();
    }
