Chart.js With a mixed chart (step and bar chart), how do I get each step to start at the beginning of the bar instead of the middle the stacked bar?

I tried to remove the offset for the bar chart (offset: false), but the result has the first bar shifted to the left such that only half of the first bar is shown. Here is what I have but the beginning and end of the step chart are not showing.

function createBarChart() {
        const ctx = document.getElementById('myChart');
        const myChart = new Chart(ctx, {
            type: 'line',
            data: {
                labels: ['1', '2', '3', '4', '5', '6'],
                datasets: [
                    {
                        type: 'line',
                        label: 'Dataset 1',
                        data: [18, 19, 16, 12, 13, 11],
                        borderColor: 'rgb(54, 162, 235)',
                        fill: false,
                        radius: 0,
                        stepped: 'middle',
                        // xAxisID: 'xStepChart'
                    },
                    {
                        type: 'bar',
                        label: 'Label 2',
                        data: [9.35, 8.35, 8.56, 6.46, 5.04, 3.15],

                        stacked: true,
                    },
                    y: {
                        stacked: false
                    }

            }
        })
    }

You can define the 'line' data as an array of points (individual objects having an x and y property each). Then tie the dataset to a second non-displayed x-axis.

{
  type: 'line',
  label: 'Dataset 1',
  data: [{x: 0, y: 18}, {x: 1, y: 19}, {x: 2, y: 16}, {x: 3, y: 12}, {x: 4, y: 13}, {x: 5, y: 11}, {x: 6, y: 11}],
  ...
  stepped: 'end',
  xAxisID: 'x2'
},

The x-axis for the 'line' dataset...

x2: {
  type: 'linear',
  display: false        
}

Please take a look at your amended and runnable code below and see how it works.

new Chart('myChart', {
  type: 'line',
  data: {
    labels: ['1', '2', '3', '4', '5', '6'],
    datasets: [{
        type: 'line',
        label: 'Dataset 1',
        data: [{x: 0, y: 18}, {x: 1, y: 19}, {x: 2, y: 16}, {x: 3, y: 12}, {x: 4, y: 13}, {x: 5, y: 11}, {x: 6, y: 11}],
        borderColor: 'rgb(54, 162, 235)',
        fill: false,
        radius: 0,
        stepped: 'end',
        xAxisID: 'x2'
      },
      {
        type: 'bar',
        label: 'Label 2',
        data: [9.35, 8.35, 8.56, 6.46, 5.04, 3.15],
        //-- No gaps between bars
        barPercentage: 1.0,
        categoryPercentage: 1.0,
        backgroundColor: ['#71797E'],
        borderColor: ['#000000'],
        borderWidth: 1
      },
      {
        type: 'bar',
        label: 'Label 3',
        data: [20.34, 17.31, 16.39, 13.48, 11.29, 11.23],
        //-- No gaps between bars
        barPercentage: 1.0,
        categoryPercentage: 1.0,
        backgroundColor: ['#A9A9A9'],
        borderColor: ['#000000'],
        borderWidth: 1
      },
      {
        type: 'bar',
        label: 'Label 4',
        data: [20.40, 18.57, 16.96, 14.19, 12.68, 11.98],
        //-- No gaps between bars
        barPercentage: 1.0,
        categoryPercentage: 1.0,
        backgroundColor: ['rgba(46, 142, 201, 0.2)'],
        borderColor: ['rgba(61, 61, 60, 1)'],
        borderWidth: 1
      },
    ]
  },
  options: {
    scales: {
      x: {
        stacked: true,
      },
      x2: {
        type: 'linear',
        display: false        
      },
      y: {
        stacked: false
      }
    }
  }
