Dear Maintainer,

My webapp includes line charts to plot time series data. The charts work fine
when the x values are simple integers (years), but when I use ISO8601 dates as
strings, such as '2025-05-15', the chart is not plotted. Instead there's a red
message stating "Error Loading Chart: This method is not implemented: Check
that a complete date adapter is provided."

Browsing various sites led me to understand that the current Chart.js no longer
includes a date parser, but instead delegates this task to one of several
adapters. The "awesome" pack (a collection of plugins for chart.js) lists
several of the adapters at https://github.com/chartjs/awesome?tab=readme-ov-
file#adapters and I suggest picking one of them and including it into the
package.

(Alternatively, maybe package the full awesome pack? That may be a larger task
though.)

Thanks,

Roland.
