Current and expected behavior

Although it's mentioned in migration guide that the package supports Vue 2.7 I have difficulties with making it working.
First - importing from vue-chartjs/legacy doesn't work any more:

// Module not found: Error: Package path ./legacy is not exported from package ...
import { Bar as BarChart } from 'vue-chartjs/legacy'; 

Second - importing from 'vue-chartjs' throws missing property errors, even after changing them from chart-data to data etc.

Reproduction

chart.js version

4.0.1

vue-chartjs version

5.0.0

Possible solution

The migration guide is for vue-chartjs 3 -> 4
If you want to use vue-chartjs with vue < 2.7 you have to lock your version to 4.x

As stated in the release notes and changelog we dropped the legacy support with vue-chartjs 5

@apertureless Actually, it should work with vue 2.7 cause it supports composition API. I'm researching it right now.

[jacekkarczmarczyk]

@apertureless do you mean that https://vue-chartjs.org/migration-guides/#migration-from-v4-to-v5 is the migration guide 3 -> 4?

also I don't see dropping support for Vue 2.x in the release notes

[apertureless]

Sorry misread. I thought you're talking about vue < 2.7 .
We dropped the support for the legacy wrapper which was for vue < 2.7 so thats at least why you can't import from 'vue-chartjs/legacy'

@jacekkarczmarczyk Released in v5.0.1

That was quick! Thank you ;)

I can confirm it works fine now, but I'd suggest to add to the release notes and migration guide information that for Vue 2.7 you need to remove /legacy from the import path
