<ChartJsBarChart ref="barChartJs" Chart="@blazorBarChartJS" Width="600" Height="300" ></ChartJsBarChart>

@functions {
    public ChartJSBarChart blazorBarChartJS { get; set; } = new ChartJSBarChart();
    ChartJsBarChart barChartJs;
    protected override void OnInit()
    {
        blazorBarChartJS = new ChartJSBarChart()

1. In index.html add:

    <script src="//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/Chart.js/2.7.2/Chart.min.js"></script>
    <script type="blazor-boot">
    </script>

2.1. For using the data label plugin add this, too:

    <script src="//cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/chartjs-plugin-datalabels"></script>

1. In _ViewImports.cshtml add:

    @using BlazorComponents.ChartJS
    @using BlazorComponents.Shared
    @addTagHelper *,BlazorComponents
