I am facing problem in inserting a newline character in xAxes labels with chart Js.

Below is the sample code used for formatting xAxes labels

"scales": {
    "xAxes": [{
        "type" : 'time',
        "display": true,

        time: {
            unit: 'millisecond',
            stepSize: 5,
            displayFormats: {
                millisecond: 'HH:mm - YYYY/MM/DD'
            }
        }
    }]
}

With the above code, the xAxes labels looks like 13:10 - 2022/02/01.

But, I want to be like below:

For multiline labels you will need to proide an array for the label in which each entry is its own line. This can be achieved with the tick callback:

function newDate(milis) {
  return moment().add(milis, 'ms');
}

var config = {
  type: 'line',
  data: {
    labels: [newDate(-4), newDate(-3), newDate(2), newDate(3), newDate(4), newDate(5), newDate(6)],
    datasets: [{
      label: "My First dataset",
      data: [1, 3, 4, 2, 1, 4, 2],
    }]
  },
  options: {
    scales: {
      xAxes: [{
        ticks: {
          callback: (tick) => (tick.split('-'))
        },
        type: 'time',
        time: {
          unit: 'millisecond',
          stepSize: 5,
          displayFormats: {
            millisecond: 'HH:mm - YYYY/MM/DD'
          }
        }
      }],
    },
  }
};

var ctx = document.getElementById("myChart").getContext("2d");
new Chart(ctx, config);
