I am working on an Angular 6 project where I want to create some charts using chart.js.

I installed chart.js using npm install chart.js and its version is like 3.5.1. My TypeScript version is like 2.9.0.

So when I try to ng serve.

I try out several solutions but could not find them, So I just downgrade the chartjs 3.5.1 to 2.7.3. So it is working fine.

As others have stated, downgrading to chart.js version 2.7.3 fixed this for me. For anyone not super familiar with npm, here's the commands I used to update the package:

npm remove chart.js --save
npm install chart.js@2.7.3 --save

I specifically did this for my ionic 5 project. But it should also work for angular.
