# Weight Tracker
![](Weight%20Tracker_image.png)
The `Weight Tracker` is a [Script API](../../Note%20Types/Code/Script%20API.md) showcase present in the [demo notes](../Database.md).
By adding `weight` as a [promoted attribute](../Attributes/Promoted%20Attributes.md) in the [template](../Attributes/Template.md) from which [day notes](Day%20Notes.md) are created, you can aggregate the data and plot weight change over time.
## Implementation
The `Weight Tracker` note in the screenshot above is of the type `Render Note`. That type of note doesn't have any useful content itself. Instead it is a placeholder where a [script](../../Scripting.md) can render its output.
Scripts for `Render Notes` are defined in a [relation](../Attributes.md) called `~renderNote`. In this example, it's the `Weight Tracker`'s child `Implementation`. The Implementation consists of two [code notes](../../Note%20Types/Code.md) that contain some HTML and JavaScript respectively, which load all the notes with a `weight` attribute and display their values in a chart.
To actually render the chart, we're using a third party library called [chart.js](https://www.chartjs.org/)which is imported as an attachment, since it's not built into Trilium.
### Code
Here's the content of the script which is placed in a [code note](../../Note%20Types/Code.md) of type `JS Frontend`:
```
async function getChartData() {
const days = await api.runOnBackend(async () => {
const notes = api.getNotesWithLabel('weight');
const days = [];
for (const note of notes) {
const date = note.getLabelValue('dateNote');
const weight = parseFloat(note.getLabelValue('weight'));
if (date && weight) {
days.push({ date, weight });
}
}
days.sort((a, b) => a.date > b.date ? 1 : -1);
return days;
});
const datasets = [
{
label: "Weight (kg)",
backgroundColor: 'red',
borderColor: 'red',
data: days.map(day => day.weight),
fill: false,
spanGaps: true,
datalabels: {
display: false
}
}
];
return {
datasets: datasets,
labels: days.map(day => day.date)
};
}
const ctx = $("#canvas")[0].getContext("2d");
new chartjs.Chart(ctx, {
type: 'line',
data: await getChartData()
});
```
## How to remove the Weight Tracker button from the top bar
In the link map of the `Weight Tracker`, there is a note called `Button`. Open it and delete or comment out its contents. The `Weight Tracker` button will disappear after you restart Trilium.
