 The configuration is used to change how the chart behaves. There are properties to control styling, fonts, the legend, etc.
 
+## Cofiguration object structure
+
+The top level structure of Chart.js configuration:
+
+```javascript
+const config = {
+  type: 'line'
+  data: {}
+  options: {}
+  plugins: []
+}
+```
+
+### type
+
+Chart type determines the main type of the chart.
+
+**note** A dataset can override the `type`, this is how mixed charts are constructed.
+
+### data
+
+See [Data Structures](../general/data-structures) for details.
+
+### options
+
+Majority of the documentation talks about these options.
+
+### plugins
+
+Inline plugins can be included in this array. It is an alternative way of adding plugins for single chart (vs registering the plugin globally).
+More about plugins in the [developers section](../developers/plugins.md).
+
 ## Global Configuration
 
 This concept was introduced in Chart.js 1.0 to keep configuration [DRY](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don%27t_repeat_yourself), and allow for changing options globally across chart types, avoiding the need to specify options for each instance, or the default for a particular chart type.

-Gets the items that are at the nearest distance to the point. The nearest item is determined based on the distance to the center of the chart item (point, bar). You can use the `axis` setting to define which directions are used in distance calculation. If `intersect` is true, this is only triggered when the mouse position intersects an item in the graph. This is very useful for combo charts where points are hidden behind bars.
