Current behavior
p-chart requires chart.js^2.7
Expected behavior
p-chart requires chart.js^3.0
What is the motivation / use case for changing the behavior?
Chart.js 3.0 supports tree-shaking for smaller bundle sizes, as well as multiple bug fixes and performance improvements.
Also, the setup instructions for charts says to run npm install chart.js --save, which doesn't work because it installs v3.1.1, not the required version of 2.7.x. At a bare minimum the setup instructions should be updated: https://www.primefaces.org/primeng/showcase/#/chart or just update to the latest version.
Any updates on this?. The 3 version has new features and better performance
