Legend display configuration is ignored in v2.5.1

I believe that due to #158, legend display configuration is ignored in charts. I am working on a single page application and after navigating from the route where I have a line chart set to not display the legend to another route and then back, the legend is rendered. This behavior was not present in v2.4.1. In addition, the global defaults.legend.display setting is completely ignored.

Hey all I just release 2.5.3 which adds the ability to either use legend configurations through options or the legend prop. Your choice!

I was just about to bang my head to the wall, luckily I found this post. As a quick fix, just pass the legend as prop again like this legend={chartOptions.legend}, then you can still write all your options in one place.

<Line 
  data={chartData} 
  options={chartOptions} 
  legend={chartOptions.legend}
  width={300} 
  height={200} />

If ultimately need to favour the props way, one suggestion is that, you can add a little console output to remind people to use the “legend” prop. Like how React handle moving “PropTypes” to separate npm package.
