# Chart.js Migration - Complete

## Overview
Successfully migrated the admin evaluation dashboard from ApexCharts to Chart.js to resolve persistent `t.put is not a function` errors and other rendering issues.

## Why Migrate to Chart.js?

### Issues with ApexCharts:
1. **Persistent `t.put` errors**: Occurred when rendering on hidden elements
2. **Tab switching problems**: Race conditions during tab transitions
3. **Complex error handling**: Required multiple visibility checks and workarounds
4. **Fragile implementation**: Small timing changes caused failures

### Advantages of Chart.js:
1. **Mature library**: More stable and widely used
2. **Better hidden element handling**: Handles tab switching gracefully
3. **Simpler API**: Easier to implement and maintain
4. **No visibility checks needed**: Works with hidden elements automatically
5. **Better documentation**: Extensive examples and community support

## Implementation Details

### 1. Chart Library Change
**Before:**
```html
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/apexcharts"></script>
```

**After:**
```html
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/chart.js"></script>
```

### 2. Chart Container Change
**Before (ApexCharts - div elements):**
```html
<div id="complaintSourceChart"></div>
```

**After (Chart.js - canvas elements):**
```html
<canvas id="complaintSourceChart" style="max-height: 320px;"></canvas>
```

### 3. Chart Initialization Simplification
**Before (ApexCharts):**
```javascript
const isVisible = el.offsetParent !== null && 
                style.display !== 'none' && 
                style.visibility !== 'hidden' && 
                style.opacity !== '0';

if (renderingFlags[elementId]) {
    console.log('Chart already rendering, skipping:', elementId);
    return;
}

// Multiple visibility checks and cleanup
```

**After (Chart.js):**
```javascript
function createOrUpdateChart(canvasId, config) {
    const canvas = document.getElementById(canvasId);
    if (!canvas) {
        console.warn('Canvas element not found:', canvasId);
        return;
    }

    // Check if chart already exists
    if (charts[canvasId]) {
        charts[canvasId].destroy();
        delete charts[canvasId];
    }

    try {
        const ctx = canvas.getContext('2d');
        const chart = new Chart(ctx, config);
        charts[canvasId] = chart;
        console.log('Chart created successfully:', canvasId);
    } catch (error) {
        console.error('Error creating chart:', canvasId, error);
    }
}
```

### 4. Chart Configuration

#### Pie Chart (Complaint Source)
```javascript
{
    type: 'pie',
    data: {
        labels: ['Internal', 'External'],
        datasets: [{
            data: [internalTotal, externalTotal],
            backgroundColor: ['#6366f1', '#f59e0b']
        }]
    },
    options: {
        responsive: true,
        maintainAspectRatio: false,
        plugins: {
            legend: {
                position: 'bottom'
            }
        }
    }
}
```

#### Bar Chart (Status, Response Times)
```javascript
{
    type: 'bar',
    data: {
        labels: ['Open', 'In Progress', 'Resolved', 'Closed'],
        datasets: [{
            data: [statusOpen, statusInProgress, statusResolved, statusClosed],
            backgroundColor: ['#f59e0b', '#6366f1', '#10b981', '#6b7280']
        }]
    },
    options: {
        responsive: true,
        maintainAspectRatio: false,
        scales: {
            y: {
                beginAtZero: true
            }
        }
    }
}
```

### 5. Tab Switching Handler
**Before (ApexCharts):**
```javascript
inquiryTab.addEventListener('shown.bs.tab', function () {
    console.log('Inquiries tab shown, waiting before rendering charts...');
    // Increased delay to ensure DOM is fully updated and tab is visible
    setTimeout(renderInquiryCharts, 150);
});
```

**After (Chart.js):**
```javascript
inquiryTab.addEventListener('shown.bs.tab', function () {
    console.log('Inquiries tab shown, rendering charts...');
    // Chart.js handles hidden elements better, no delay needed
    renderInquiryCharts();
});
```

## Key Improvements
