+This is a simple update to the existing chartjs-plugin-annotation.js, to allow it to work when using Typescript/node16 or nodenext. Specifically, this solves this error:
+Error: node_modules/chartjs-plugin-annotation/types/index.d.ts(2,218): error TS2834: Relative import paths need explicit file extensions in EcmaScript imports when '--moduleResolution' is 'node16' or 'nodenext'. Consider adding an extension to the import path.
+
+All the credits go the original authors and package: https://github.com/chartjs/chartjs-plugin-annotation. For all intents and purposes, you probably want to use that package.

+Original README below:
