Adding library charts.js to composer.json

I've installed module Moderation Dashboard, now I would like to install charts.js, which is needed by the module, locally by using composer. The readme of the module says:

Add following code inside repositories section in your project's composer.json:

"chart.js": { "type": "package", "package": { "name": "nnnick/chartjs", "version": "v3.9.1", "type": "drupal-library", "dist": { "url": "https://github.com/chartjs/Chart.js/releases/download/v3.9.1/chart.js-3.9.1.tgz", "type": "tar" } } }

Unfortunately, I don't know exactly how to add the code in my existing composer.json. The start looks like this:

{
    "name": "drupal/recommended-project",
    "description": "Project template for Drupal 9 projects with a relocated document root",
    "type": "project",
    "license": "GPL-2.0-or-later",
    "homepage": "https://www.drupal.org/project/drupal",
    "support": {
        "docs": "https://www.drupal.org/docs/user_guide/en/index.html",
        "chat": "https://www.drupal.org/node/314178"
    },
    "repositories": [
        {
            "type": "composer",
            "url": "https://packages.drupal.org/8"
        }
    ],
    "require": {
        "composer/installers": "^1.9",
        "drupal/admin_toolbar": "^3.1",
        …

Could someone show me, where to put the snippet exactly?

Your composer.json contains a repository section where the chart.js related definition has to be added like this:

...
"repositories": [
  {
    "type": "composer",
    "url": "https://packages.drupal.org/8"
  },
  {
    "type": "package",
    "package": {
      "name": "nnnick/chartjs",
      "version": "v3.9.1",
      "type": "drupal-library",
      "dist": {
        "url": "https://github.com/chartjs/Chart.js/releases/download/v3.9.1/chart.js-3.9.1.tgz",
        "type": "tar"
      }
    }
  },
],
...

An alternative suggested by leymannx is this, which allows to simply do composer require npm-asset/FOOBAR for any JS library that has an NPM release:

...
"repositories": [
  ...
  {
    "type": "composer",
    "url": "https://asset-packagist.org",
  },
  ...
],
...
"scripts": {
  ...
  "extras": {
    ...
    "installer-types": ["bower-asset", "npm-asset"],
    "installer-paths": {
      ...
      "web/libraries/{$name}": [
        "type:drupal-library",
        "type:bower-asset",
        "type:npm-asset"
      ],
      ...
    }
    ...
  }
  ...
}

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
