 If you want your new chart type to be statically typed, you must provide a `.d.ts` TypeScript declaration file. Chart.js provides a way to augment built-in types with user-defined ones, by using the concept of "declaration merging".
 
-There are three main declarations that can be augmented when adding a new chart type:
-
-* `ChartTypeEnum` enumeration must contain an entry for the new type.
-* `IChartTypeRegistry` must contains the declarations for the new type, either by extending an existing entry in `IChartTypeRegistry` or by creating a new one.
+When adding a new chart type, `IChartTypeRegistry` must contains the declarations for the new type, either by extending an existing entry in `IChartTypeRegistry` or by creating a new one.
 
 For example, to provide typings for a new chart type that extends from a bubble chart, you would add a `.d.ts` containing:
 
 ```javascript
 import { IChartTypeRegistry } from 'chart.js'
 
 declare module 'chart.js' {
-    enum ChartTypeEnum {
-        derivedBubble = 'derivedBubble'
-    }
-
     interface IChartTypeRegistry {
         derivedBubble: IChartTypeRegistry['bubble']
     }
