What problem are you trying to solve?

Since chartist-plugin-legend seem inactive, and is incompatible with Chartist v1 [1], there doesn't seem to be a way to put legends in Chartist plots anymore. Chart legends should be part of Chartist core lib and not a plugin since it's essential to make non-trivial plots meaningful.

Describe the solution you'd like

By default, the legend should be constructed from the name field provided in the series list, and default to using the alpha-numerated classnames (so, Plot A, Plot B etc).

    new Chartist.LineChart(
      '#chart',
      {
        labels: ['a', 'b', 'c'],
        series: [{'name': 'Plot 1', data: [1, 3, 4, 7, 11, 18]}, {'name': 'Plot 2', data: [1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13]]
      }, {
        fullWidth: false,
        },
    });
