Prevent data label in EJ2 JavaScript Chart control

8 May 20236 minutes to read

To prevent the chart data label when the data value is 0, follow the given steps:

Step 1:

Get the point value and check whether the args.point.y value is zero or not by using the textRender event. If the value is zero, then set the args.cancel to true.

The output will appear as follows,

var chart = new ej.charts.Chart({
     //Initializing Primary X Axis
        primaryXAxis: {
            valueType: 'DateTime',
        },
        //Initializing Chart Series
        series: [
            {
                type: 'Line',
                dataSource: [
                    { x: new Date(2005, 0, 1), y: 21 }, { x: new Date(2006, 0, 1), y: 24 },
                    { x: new Date(2007, 0, 1), y: 0 }, { x: new Date(2008, 0, 1), y: 38 },
                    { x: new Date(2009, 0, 1), y: 54 }, { x: new Date(2010, 0, 1), y: 57 },
                ],
                xName: 'x', width: 2, marker: {
                  dataLabel : { visible: true },
                    visible: true,
                    width: 10,
                    height: 10
                },
                yName: 'y', name: 'Germany',
            }
        ],

        //Initializing Chart title
        title: 'Inflation - Consumer Price',
        textRender: function(args) {
          args.cancel = args.point.y === 0;
        },
    width:'650px',
    height: '350px'
},'#element');
