Example for dynamic resize by dataset count:

resizeChart() {
    if (!this._chart) return;
    // Chart not ready
    if (this.$.chartTarget.clientWidth === 0) {
        if (this._resizeTimer === undefined) {
            this._resizeTimer = setInterval(this.resizeChart.bind(this), 10);
            return;
        }
    }

    clearInterval(this._resizeTimer);
    this._resizeTimer = undefined;

    this._resizeChart();
}

_resizeChart() {
    const chartTarget = this.$.chartTarget;

    const options = this.data;
    const data = options.data;

    if (data.datasets.length === 0) {
        return;
    }

    if (!this.isTimeline) {
        this._chart.resize();
        return;
    }

    // Recalculate chart height for Timeline chart
    var axis = this._chart.boxes.filter(x => x.position === 'bottom')[0];
    if (axis && axis.height > 0) {
        this._axisHeight = axis.height;
    }
    if (!this._axisHeight) {
        chartTarget.style.height = '100px';
        chartTarget.height = '100px';
        this._chart.resize();
        axis = this._chart.boxes.filter(x => x.position === 'bottom')[0];
        if (axis && axis.height > 0) {
            this._axisHeight = axis.height;
        }
    }
    if (this._axisHeight) {
        const cnt = data.datasets.length;
        const targetHeight = ((30 * cnt) + this._axisHeight) + 'px';
        if (chartTarget.style.height !== targetHeight) {
            chartTarget.style.height = targetHeight;
            chartTarget.height = targetHeight;
        }
        this._chart.resize();
    }
