Try folowing as the chartist-plugin-legend return Chartist.plugins.legend function. You can pass options also to add customization here is link where you can read it: Link chartist-plugin-legend

let plugins = [
    Legend()
]

Made this change also as react-chartist doesnot take any props called plugins.

Now add a .css file in your directory and import it in your component file. with following content. The content is same as mentioned on the plugin page.

.ct-legend {
    position: relative;
    z-index: 10;

    li {
        position: relative;
        padding-left: 23px;
        margin-bottom: 3px;
    }

    li:before {
        width: 12px;
        height: 12px;
        position: absolute;
        left: 0;
        content: '';
        border: 3px solid transparent;
        border-radius: 2px;
    }

    li.inactive:before {
        background: transparent;
    }

    &.ct-legend-inside {
        position: absolute;
        top: 0;
        right: 0;
    }

    @for $i from 0 to length($ct-series-colors) {
        .ct-series-#{$i}:before {
            background-color: nth($ct-series-colors, $i + 1);
            border-color: nth($ct-series-colors, $i + 1);
        }
    }
}

Now you can give styling as you want. legend plugin also provides certains options that you can send. Read about it and accordingly pass in the options
