Implementing a Time Series Chart with this library

[GerryWilko]

Hello,

I have been looking at how you might use this library in conjunction with chart-js' time series charting setup (https://www.chartjs.org/docs/latest/axes/cartesian/timeseries.html).

A few things about this stood out initially. Firstly the documentation shows that type 'line' seems like it should allow x to be number or a string in the type ScatterDataPoint inside chart-js. After discussing this on the ChartJS slack a helpful fellow pointed out that you can override the data type of your created type as follows:

interface TimeDataPoint {
  x: Date;
  y: number;
};

const timeChart = new Chart<"line", TimeDataPoint>(ctx, {
  type: 'line',
  data: data,
  options: {
    scales: {
      x: { type: 'time' },
    }
  }
});

Using vue-chart-3 we cant override this during defineChartComponent. I propose one of the following:

• Adding an extra type parameter to the defineChartComponent which allows overriding of the chart type. I think this should be possible 🤔
• As an alternative creating a new chart type export that is pre configured to have an extra type added to the possible data types of { x: Date | string; y: number }. We could add this as a chart type of time or something?

Many thanks for the great work with this library and I'm happy to implement either of the suggestions.
