Current and expected behavior

I am facing this error, and i couldnt find a any way to solve it. Anyone have ever faced it? I see that in the frequent questions, there is "how to access canvas component", but still not useful.

I am using the simple code exaple that they give as exemple here

`import React from "react";
import {
Chart as ChartJS,
CategoryScale,
LinearScale,
PointElement,
LineElement,
Title,
Tooltip,
Legend,
} from "chart.js";
import { Line } from "react-chartjs-2";
import { Faker, de, de_CH, en_US } from "@faker-js/faker";

export const faker = new Faker({
locale: [de_CH, de],
});
ChartJS.register(
CategoryScale,
LinearScale,
PointElement,
LineElement,
Title,
Tooltip,
Legend
);

export const options = {
responsive: true,
plugins: {
legend: {
position: "top" as const,
},
title: {
display: true,
text: "Chart.js Line Chart",
},
},
};

const labels = ["January", "February", "March", "April", "May", "June", "July"];

export const data = {
labels,
datasets: [
{
label: "Dataset 1",
data: labels.map(() => faker.datatype.number({ min: -1000, max: 1000 })),
borderColor: "rgb(255, 99, 132)",
backgroundColor: "rgba(255, 99, 132, 0.5)",
},
{
label: "Dataset 2",
data: labels.map(() => faker.datatype.number({ min: -1000, max: 1000 })),
borderColor: "rgb(53, 162, 235)",
backgroundColor: "rgba(53, 162, 235, 0.5)",
},
],
};

export function ContractChart2() {
return ;
}`

I got the same issue when I use in my React Native project created by expo.

package versions
"chart.js": "^4.4.1",
"expo": "~49.0.15",
"expo-status-bar": "~1.6.0",
"react": "18.2.0",
"react-chartjs-2": "^5.2.0",
"react-native": "0.72.6"

error
Invariant Violation: View config getter callback for component canvas must be a function (received undefined). Make sure to start component names with a capital letter.

This error is located at:

What is the solution for this??

my code is

import React, { useEffect, useState } from 'react';
import axios from 'axios';
import { Line } from 'react-chartjs-2';
import CustomText from './CustomText';
import { API_URL } from '@env';

const Graph: React.FC = () => {
const [graphData, setGraphData] = useState<{ xData: number[], yData: number[] }>({ xData: [], yData: [] });

useEffect(() => {
fetchData();
}, []);

const fetchData = async () => {
try {
const xResponse = await axios.get<number[]>(${API_URL}/api/Donor/GetXAxis);
const yResponse = await axios.get<number[]>(${API_URL}/api/Donor/GetYAxis);

  setGraphData({ xData: xResponse.data, yData: yResponse.data });
} catch (error) {
  console.error('Error fetching data:', error);
}

};

const chartData = {
labels: graphData.xData.map((_, index) => ${index}),
datasets: [
{
label: 'Graph Data',
data: graphData.yData,
fill: false,
borderColor: 'rgb(75, 192, 192)',
tension: 0.1,
},
],
};

return (
<div style={{ maxWidth: '600px', margin: '0 auto' }}>
Graph


);
};

export default Graph;

still i am getting error Render Error
ERROR Invariant Violation: View config getter callback for component canvas must be a function (received undefined). Make sure to start component names with a capital letter.

Apparently this library isn't meant to be used with react native for any future users #323 (comment)
