Add the tickAmount for datetime!

Feature request

In the documentation is mentioned: Note: tickAmount doesn’t have any effect when xaxis.type = datetime

I don’t understand why this has been removed and what is the workaround if you want to add a chart that works base on categories that contain an array of times:

and you just want to show the label for only each hour:

and then when you hover on the chart you’ll be able to see them per 5 minutes. Is there any other way to achieve that?

If you don’t want auto-generated timescale x-axis, you can easily switch to xaxis.type: 'category' and the x-axis will display all the labels (the labels will only be hidden if they overlap).

The only downside to this is that you will have to format the x-axis labels using a 3rd party library (such as day.js) to make it look pretty.
