Data labels provide information to users about the shapes of the Maps control. It can be enabled by setting the visible property of the dataLabelSettings property to ”true“.
To display data labels in the Maps, the labelPath property of dataLabelSettings property must be used. The value of the labelPath property can be taken from the field name in the shape data or data source. In the following example, the value of the labelPath property is the field name in the shape data of the Maps layer.
var map = new ej.maps.Maps({
layers: [
{
shapeData: usa_map,
shapeSettings: {
autofill: true
},
dataLabelSettings: {
visible: true,
labelPath: 'name',
}
}
]
});
map.appendTo('#element');<!DOCTYPE html><html lang="en"><head>
