Key Mapping in Dashboard 2.0

An example of how to use key-mapping with Dashboard 2.0's ui-chart node. It provides the option to parse data such as:

[
    {
        "time": "2023-11-14T19:00Z",
        "screenTemperature": 10.03,
        "maxScreenAirTemp": 10.4,
        "minScreenAirTemp": 9.99,
        "screenDewPointTemperature": 7.56,
        "feelsLikeTemperature": 8.09,
        "windSpeed10m": 3.86,
        "windDirectionFrom10m": 263,
        "windGustSpeed10m": 7.72,
        "max10mWindGust": 10.13,
        "visibility": 16258,
        "screenRelativeHumidity": 84.48,
        "mslp": 100360,
        "uvIndex": 0,
        "significantWeatherCode": 0,
        "precipitationRate": 0,
        "totalPrecipAmount": 0,
        "totalSnowAmount": 0,
        "probOfPrecipitation": 0
    }, ...
]

Without the need for data manipulation before rendering, as we can use the built-in "key" properties for the x/y axes.

For example in the first chart we render, we set:

Which will render each point of the array using (time, feelsLikeTemperature) as coordinates.
