How to dynamically update data in chart.js

How to update the data to the chart that I define when I mount?

I think that I fail to properly reference the chart?

It is the data() function that fails, with "Could not find linechart", but how do I specify linechart?

      const fwdPrice = {

        data: [10, 10, 10],
        borderColor: "#6F6F6F",
        borderWidth: 3,
      };

      const labels = ["a", "b", "c"];

      this.chartData.data.labels = labels;
      this.chartData.data.datasets[0] = contractPrice;
      this.chartData.data.datasets[1] = fwdPrice;

      linechart.update();
    },
  },
};

<style>
.center {
  margin: auto;
}
</style>

>Solution :

You should define your variable to hold the Chart outside the mounted function in order to be visible to the other methods.

So instead use this

let linechart;

export default {
  name: "line-plot",
  mounted() {
    const ctx = document.getElementById("line-chart");
    linechart = new Chart(ctx, this.chartData);
  },
