Cannot build project using chartjs if TypeScript compiler option isolatedModules is set to true

[jljouannic]

Expected behavior

In a project embedding chart.js, the TypeScript transpilation with the following options works successfully:

• "isolatedModules": true,
• "skipLibCheck": false.

Current behavior

Transpilation fails because of en exported const enum:

node_modules/chart.js/dist/types/index.d.ts:579:39 - error TS2748: Cannot access ambient const enums when the '--isolatedModules' flag is provided.

579 export type UpdateMode = keyof typeof UpdateModeEnum;
                                          ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Found 1 error in node_modules/chart.js/dist/types/index.d.ts:579

Optional extra steps/info to reproduce

Take a look at the terminal at the bottom of the page to see the transpilation error

Possible solution

Make UpdateModeEnum a simple enum, not a const one maybe.
