Convert bar chart to a grouped bar chart with danielgindi/ios-charts and Swift

Question

i have created the simple bar chart with the library at https://github.com/danielgindi/ios-charts still can't figure out how to make this a grouped bar chart. I've added the units sold array to the chart, but don't know how to get the unitBought array to the chart to make it a grouped chart.please help.

@IBOutlet weak var barChartView: BarChartView!

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()      
    months = ["Jan", "Feb", "Mar", "Apr", "May", "Jun", "Jul", "Aug", "Sep", "Oct", "Nov", "Dec"]
    let unitsSold = [20.0, 4.0, 6.0, 3.0, 12.0, 16.0, 4.0, 18.0, 2.0, 4.0, 5.0, 12.8]
    let unitsBought = [20.0, 4.0, 6.0, 3.0, 12.0, 16.0, 4.0, 18.0, 2.0, 4.0, 5.0, 12.8]
    setChart(months, values: unitsSold)
}


//functions
func setChart(dataPoints: [String], values: [Double]) {
    barChartView.noDataText = "You need to provide data for the chart."

    var dataEntries: [BarChartDataEntry] = []

    for i in 0..<dataPoints.count {
        let dataEntry = BarChartDataEntry(value: values[i], xIndex: i)
        dataEntries.append(dataEntry)
    }

    let chartDataSet = BarChartDataSet(yVals: dataEntries, label: "Units Sold")
    let chartData = BarChartData(xVals: months, dataSet: chartDataSet)
    barChartView.data = chartData
    barChartView.backgroundColor = UIColor(red: 255/255, green: 255/255, blue: 255/255, alpha: 1)
    barChartView.gridBackgroundColor = UIColor(red: 255/255, green: 255/255, blue: 255/255, alpha: 1)

    barChartView.legend.enabled = false

    barChartView.leftAxis.drawGridLinesEnabled = false
    barChartView.leftAxis.drawAxisLineEnabled = true

    barChartView.rightAxis.drawGridLinesEnabled = false
    barChartView.rightAxis.drawAxisLineEnabled = false
    barChartView.rightAxis.drawLabelsEnabled = false


    barChartView.xAxis.drawGridLinesEnabled = false
    barChartView.xAxis.drawLabelsEnabled = true

}

let months = ["Jan", "Feb", "Mar", "Apr", "May"]
    let unitsSold = [20.0, 4.0, 6.0, 3.0, 12.0]
    let unitsBought = [10.0, 14.0, 60.0, 13.0, 2.0]

     override func viewDidLoad() {
            super.viewDidLoad()
            // Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
            barChartView.delegate = self
            barChartView.noDataText = "You need to provide data for the chart."
            barChartView.chartDescription?.text = "sales vs bought "

        let chartData = BarChartData(dataSets: dataSets)

        let barWidth = 0.3

        chartData.barWidth = barWidth;
