Using Chart.js with Gridsome

I really love charts and wanted to embrace a library for client side visualisation. I've hacked around with a method to use Chart.js with Gridsome and created a simple demo site detailing my progress thus far. It's rough but hopefully it illustrates a way to get started.

Essentially, I created a new Gridsome project, installed a couple of modules and built some examples including using charts in pages, templates and hack in progress to define charts from within markdown files. Netlify made it easy to spin up a demo from my repo. There are more examples on my demo site but here is a screenshot showing a basic chart:

Note, embedding a chart, or indeed any vue component, in a blog post is a bit fiddly. There doesn't currently seem to be a way to embed copmonents in markdown files that are handled by source-filesystem. It is possible, although a bit limited in my experimentation, to embed components using the vue-remark plugin but this plugin doesn't offer the same flexibility.
