Plugin import and registration. #289

I have npm installed chart.js (^3.5.1) and chartjs-plugin-datalabels (^2.0.0).

I got stuck at trying to a dynamic module import. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/69543515/dynamic-import-of-chart-js-with-plugins

Having failed to do a dynamic import I tested the regular import from local install but this doesn't work neither.

The integration notes for this module use following example.

import {Chart} from 'chart.js';
import ChartDataLabels from 'chartjs-plugin-datalabels';

I don't think this can work.

I can use the auto registration import for chart.js to use the core library.

import Chart from 'chart.js/auto';

Importing and registering the plugin doesn't seem to be possible though.

import Chart from 'chart.js/auto';

import ChartDataLabels from 'chartjs-plugin-datalabels';

Chart.register(ChartDataLabels)

This will fail because of the chartjs helpers.

Any advice on the import of this and indeed any chartjs module?
