Global chart dataoptions cannot be set

[grahammutter]

The global/default chart dataoption configuration feature of chart.js cannot be set currently.

I will begin work on this ~April 26th.

Is there any workaround for this right now? I would like to set some global font settings.

yes, i'd love to see a workaround for this

for (let i = 0; i < this.chart.data.datasets.length; i++) {
     this.chart.data.datasets[i].borderWidth = 2;
}

Came across this issue and it made me look at .ts source code. Here is how you can set default for the charts.

// Import
import Chart from "chart.js";

// ngOnInit() method
ngOnInit() {
	// Set default font size to 10 pixel
	Chart.defaults.global.defaultFontSize = 10;
}

I use ng2-charts version ^2.3.0.

Hope this helps :)
