Cant resolve chart.js/helpers in /node_modules/chartjs-plugins-datalabels/dist

Answer 1

You are using a mismatch of versions. Version 2 of the datalabels plugin is for chart.js version 3 while you are using chart.js version 2. So you either need to update chart.js and the wrapper which does include breaking changes or you need to install version 1.0.0 of the datalabels plugin
