[Bug]: Type definition for ChartOptions

Current and expected behavior

I posted this issue in chart.js repo, but I think it is related to this lib and its type definitions.

With these options,

const options = {
    scales: {
      y: {
        min: 0,
      },
      x: {
        type: 'time', // << ts error
      ...

I got this error:

Type ‘string’ is not assignable to type ‘“timeseries” | undefined’.

So, I added as any (not ideal):

type: ‘time’ as any,

If there is a more correct way, I’d love to know.

Here’s my reproduction:

@JBaczuk More stable variant is define type of options explicitly:

import {
  ChartOptions
} from "chart.js";

const options: ChartOptions<"line"> = { /* ... */ };

@JBaczuk I tried it, all works without issues https://codesandbox.io/s/nifty-water-03zp6?file=/App.tsx
