ChartJS How to provide an array of objects as a dataset? - chart.js

Question

I've got a dataset that looks like so;
[
"transactions": [
{
"month": "Dec",
"data": [
{
"id": "333a32c6-eaf0-3f11-8a2b-963282fb700c",

}

Basically I want to show a chart with all the months of the year, and if they aren't present in the transactions array, it returns just 0 for that month on the chart.
How would I go about parsing this object and making sure it all matches up with my labels on my chart? All examples in the documentation use really basic integer's as the dataset and there are no examples I could find of using an object!
