drawing line plot using [{x,y}] format

[sandeep-gh]

As per my understanding of the docs, one of the formats I can use specify data is list of x,y pairs as shown in example below

 var  config = {
      type: 'line',
    data: {
        datasets: [{
            data: [{x: 10, y: 20}, {x: 15, y: 7}, {x: 20, y: 10}]

        }]
    },
      options: {parsing: false}   
};

However, I don't see any line plot being generated. If I change the plot type to 'scatter', I do see three points drawn correctly. Just wanted to know if this is one of the acceptable formats for line plot -- from the docs it seems it should be. Am I missing something?

Thanks

This is because by default the x axis is a category axis, this expects predefined labels. The reason a scatter plot works is because the type of the x axis gets changed to linear by default. If you do that it works fine:

 var config = {
   type: 'line',
   data: {
     datasets: [{
       data: [{
         x: 10,
         y: 20
       }, {
         x: 15,
         y: 7
       }, {
         x: 20,
         y: 10
       }]

     }]
   },
   options: {
     scales: {
       x: {
         type: 'linear'
       }
     },
     parsing: false
   }
 };

Got it. Thank you.
