Type Mode not accepting strings "x", "y" or "xy"

[AnnabellBrocker]

I have installed the following version:

chart-js-plugin-zoom: 2.0.1
chart.js: 4.2.1
react-chartjs-2: 5.2.0
typescript: 4.1.6
...

When defining the mode for the zoom within the options for a Barchart of Chart.js, I receive the error:

The types of 'plugins.zoom.zoom.mode' are incompatible between these types.
    Type 'string' is not assignable to type '"x" | "y" | "xy" | ((chart: Chart<"bar" | "line" | "scatter" | "bubble" | "pie" | "doughnut" | "polarArea" | "radar", (number | [number, number] | Point | BubbleDataPoint | null)[], unknown>) => Mode) | undefined'.

Options:

const options = {
            zoom: {
                zoom: {
                    wheel: {
                        enabled: true,
                    },
                    pinch: {
                        enabled: true
                    },
                    mode: 'x'
                }
            }
        }
    }

However, you define a local type in advance via type Mode = 'x' | 'y' | 'xy'; in the same file and using mode: 'x' as Mode I do not receive the error.

Any ideas why this happens?

@AnnabellBrocker I've encountered the exact same error, thank you so much for providing the interim solution until this gets fixed, it saved my bacon.

I've faced same error with following packages(versions). many thanks for providing interim solution.

"chart.js": "^4.3.0",
"chartjs-plugin-zoom": "^2.0.1",
"react": "^18.2.0",
"react-chartjs-2": "^5.2.0",
"typescript": "^4.9.5",

This is a typescript thing.

You can define the mode separately:
const mode: Mode = 'x'

or typecast it
mode: 'x' as Mode, or mode: 'x' as const
