In order to take full advantage of the new plugin hooks called before and after a dataset is drawn, all drawing operations must happen on stable meta data, so make sure that transitions are performed before.
Chart data can now be entirely replaced using `chart.data = {...}` thanks to the new property setter (instead of using `chart.config.data = {}`). Also update the documentation, as suggested by @ldaguise and @kennethkalmer, with a note about versions prior 2.6.
Make all `before` hooks cancellable (except `beforeInit`), meaning that if any plugin return explicitly `false`, the current action is not performed. Ensure that `init` hooks are called before `update` hooks and add associated calling order unit tests. Deprecate `Chart.PluginBase` in favor of `IPlugin` (no more an inheritable class) and document plugin hooks (also rename `extension` by `hook`).
Move base platform definition and logic in src/platform/platform.js and simplify the browser -> Chart.js event mapping by listing only different naming then fallback to the native type.
Replace `createEvent` by `add/removeEventListener` methods which dispatch Chart.js IEvent objects instead of native events. Move `add/removeResizeListener` implementation into the DOM platform which is now accessible via `platform.add/removeEventListener(chart, 'resize', listener)`.
Finally, remove `bindEvent` and `unbindEvent` from the helpers since the implementation is specific to the chart controller (and should be private).
Refactoring to put browser specific code in a new class, BrowserPlatform.
BrowserPlatform implements IPlatform. Chart.Platform is the constructor for the platform object that is attached to the chart instance.
Plugins are notified about the event using the `onEvent` call. The legend plugin was converted to use onEvent instead of the older private `handleEvent` method.
Wrote test to check that plugins are notified about events
Fix bar draw issue.
1. `Chart.elements.Rectangle.draw` function supports both horizontal and vertical bar.
2. Corrected bar position at minus.
3. Adjust bar size when `borderWidth` is set.
4. Adjust bar size when `borderSkipped` is set.
5. Adjust `borderWidth` with value near 0(base).
6. Update test.
Plugins can now be declared in the chart `config.plugins` array and will only be applied to the associated chart(s), after the globally registered plugins. Plugin specific options are now scoped under the `config.options.plugins` options. Hooks now receive the chart instance as first argument and the plugin options as last argument.
