Typescript 5 compatibility

[Joeldatatrion]

Hi! Is this only compatible with Typescript 4? (and why?)
The latest chartjs 4.5.1. has typescript "^4.7.4","

Chart.js is fully compatible with TypeScript 5! The ^4.7.4 in package.json means "any version 4.7.4 or higher, but less than 5.0.0". However, this is just the minimum required version for the types, not a maximum.

In practice:

• Chart.js works perfectly with TypeScript 5.x
• The ^4.7.4 is a minimum version requirement
• TypeScript 5 is backward compatible with TypeScript 4 types
• You can safely use Chart.js with TypeScript 5

If you see warnings:

If npm shows a peer dependency warning, you can safely ignore it or use:

npm install chart.js --legacy-peer-deps

Or update the types:

npm install @types/chart.js@latest

Current status:

• Chart.js 4.x: Works with TypeScript 4.7+ and 5.x
• Chart.js 3.x: Works with TypeScript 4.x and 5.x

You can safely use Chart.js with TypeScript 5 without any issues.
