        <script type="text/javascript" src="{% static 'js/Chart.min.js' %}"></script>
        <script type="text/javascript">
            $.get('{% url "line_chart_json" %}', function(data) {
                var ctx = $("#myChart").get(0).getContext("2d");

    def get_labels(self):
        """Return 7 labels."""
        return ["January", "February", "March", "April", "May", "June", "July"]

    def get_data(self):
        """Return 3 dataset to plot."""

        return [[75, 44, 92, 11, 44, 95, 35],
                [41, 92, 18, 3, 73, 87, 92],
                [87, 21, 94, 3, 90, 13, 65]]


line_chart = TemplateView.as_view(template_name='line_chart.html')
