Calling a helper function and passing in data to chart.js - reactjs

Question

I created a helper function to work around my chart.js.
First, on my index.html file I put the ff:
<div id="app"></div>
<canvas id="myChart" width="400" height="400"></canvas>
Next, to call chart.js, I created a helper function with the necessary data/arguments on it:
export const chartUI = (labels, data) =>{
var ctx = document.getElementById("myChart");
var myChart = new Chart(ctx, {
type: 'line',
data: {
labels: labels,
datasets: [{
label: 'RATES',
data: data,
backgroundColor: [
'rgba(255, 99, 132, 0.2)',
'rgba(54, 162, 235, 0.2)',
'rgba(255, 206, 86, 0.2)',
'rgba(75, 192, 192, 0.2)',
'rgba(153, 102, 255, 0.2)',
'rgba(255, 159, 64, 0.2)'
],
borderColor: [
'rgba(255,99,132,1)',
'rgba(54, 162, 235, 1)',
'rgba(255, 206, 86, 1)',
'rgba(75, 192, 192, 1)',
'rgba(153, 102, 255, 1)',
'rgba(255, 159, 64, 1)'
],
borderWidth: 1
}]
},
options: {
scales: {
yAxes: [{
ticks: {
beginAtZero:true
}
}]
}
}
});
};
Now on my component where I need to put my data on I called the function so it can manipulate and display the data:
import React from 'react';
const helper = require('../../../helpers/utils')
const Chart = (props) => {
return(
<div>
{props.info.map(item => {
return <p>{helper.chartUI(item.time, item.rates)}</p>
}) }
</div>
)
};
export default Chart;
When I run this code i did not see any chart on the frontend and also I got this error: Uncaught TypeError: this.ticks.map is not a function The above error occurred in the <Chart> component: TypeError: this.ticks.map is not a function
PS. Here's the the type data I am flowing from my app:
{
"rates": [
{
"time": "2018-04-13T15:45:19.5968204Z",
"asset_id_quote": "$$$",
"rate": 4000000
},
{
"time": "2018-04-13T15:45:41.7725202Z",
"asset_id_quote": "1ST",
"rate": 37714.501225721289835941919668
}
}
