    }
}
;
ReactDOM.render(<App />, document.getElementById("charts"));

Note: To use data label feature, we need to inject DataLabel module into the services.

Position

Using position property, you can place the label either on Top, Middle,Bottom or Outer (outer is applicable for column and bar type series).

Datalabel template

Label content can be formatted by using the template option. Inside the template, you can add the placeholder text ${point.x} and ${point.x} to display corresponding data points x & y value. Using template property, you can set data label template in chart.

Customizing Specific Point

You can also customize the specific marker and label using pointRender and textRender event. pointRender event allows you to change the shape, color and border for a point, whereas the textRender event allows you to change the text for the point.
