typescript - PrimeNG/Chart.js - max Number of labels to show -

i'm using primeng charts (based on chart.js). know want set maximum number of labels show. docs show this: ticks.max string - maximum item display. must value in labels array

but don't know put , couldn't find anywhere in interwebs. chart options right now:

this.options = {              animation: false,             legend: {                 display: true,                 labels: {                     boxwidth: 0,                 }              },              scales: {                  yaxes: [{                      scalelabel: {                         display: true,                         labelstring: "ms"                       },                     ticks: {                         beginatzero: true,                         suggestedmax: 100,                     }                  }],                 xaxes: [{                     scalelabel: {                         display: true,                         labelstring: "sec"                     },                     ticks: {                         beginatzero: true,                      }                 }]              }         } 

i've tried adding ticks.max on different places in options, "unexpected token" error. can set "max" value within "ticks", hast number , not im looking for. and, also, docs above tell ticks.max string labels array. "max" value within ticks object has else.

this might stupid question, searching long time , couldn't ask.

according documentation if want create category scale should work this:

.....          scales: {             yaxes: [{                 scalelabel: {                     display: true,                     labelstring: "ms"                   },                 ticks: {                     beginatzero: true,                     suggestedmax: 100,                 }             }],             xaxes: [{                 scalelabel: {                     display: true,                     labelstring: "sec"                 },                 ticks: {                     beginatzero: true,                     max: "a-value-from-array"                 }             }]         } 

i'm tempted guess using notation like:

var y = { ticks.max: "hello" } vm181:1 uncaught syntaxerror: unexpected token . 

i think explains error.
