Migrating charts to 7.2.0

Expected behavior a chart component is initialized correctly.

Actual behavior Error initializing the chart

Resources (screenshots, code snippets etc.) I create a bar chart in this way: HTML:

<canvas id="bar-chart" data-mdb-chart-init></canvas>

JS:

var barChart = document.querySelector("#bar-chart");
var processingPerfChart = new mdb.Chart(barChart, { type: 'bar' });

When I load the html file locally in the browser, the chart is not initialized and the console shows the following error:

mdb.umd.min.js:39  Uncaught Error: "undefined" is not a registered controller.
    at Object._get (mdb.umd.min.js:39:61429)

My answer form your thread about datatable is also valid here. You are doing double init here. Beside questions I've asked there can you tell me if you use any bundler or framework?

no bundler, no framework, just plain vanilla javascript. I have removed the data-init from the canvas element and now everything works (also the datatables, without doing any changes). Maybe the migration guide could be updated to specify that the data-init attribute is not required when using the constructor. When I have read the sentence "To initialize component we are now using data attributes unified through all components and plugins" I thought the data-init attribute was mandatory. Thanks!
