Usage example

First of all is needed load the js file from cdn, for this you can retrieve like this:

        $chartJS = new ChartFactory();
        $jsUrl = $chartJS->getJsFileUrl();

Load at the end of page, before other chart scripts

<script src="{$jsUrl}"></script>

NOTE: you can getJsFileUrl from any new XXXChart(); if you don't need to load from another file in template.

Then you will generate the chart:

        $statsByDate = Customers::getDataList(); //in this case return [total,day]
        
        $barChart = new BarChart();
        $barChartData = $barChart->getData();
//        $barChartOptions = $barChart->getOptions(); // you can configure colors, sizes, etc.
    
        $barChartDataset = $barChartData->newDataset();
        foreach($statsByDay as $day){
            $barChartData->addLabel($day['date']);
            $barChartDataset->setLabel('Label for legend for this dataset color')->addData($day['total']);
        }
        
        $barChartHtmlCanvas = $barChart->getHtmlCanvas();
        $barChartHtmlScript = $barChart->getHtmlScript();

And add canvas in body where chart should appear, and script after previous $chartJS was included in page.
