Data Labels

Data label can be added to a chart series by enabling the visible option in the dataLabel. By default, the labels will arrange smartly without overlapping.

import * as React from "react";
import * as ReactDOM from "react-dom";
import { AxisModel, ChartComponent, SeriesCollectionDirective, SeriesDirective, Inject,
         Legend, DateTime, Tooltip, DataLabel, LineSeries}
from'@syncfusion/ej2-react-charts';
import { data } from 'datasource.ts';

class App extends React.Component<{}, {}> {

  public primaryxAxis: AxisModel = { valueType: 'DateTime' };
  public marker = {
    visible: true,
    height: 10, width: 10,
    shape: 'Pentagon',
    dataLabel: { visible: true }
  };

  render() {
    return <ChartComponent id='charts'
      primaryXAxis={this.primaryxAxis}>
      <Inject services={[LineSeries, Legend, Tooltip, DataLabel, DateTime]} />
      <SeriesCollectionDirective>
        <SeriesDirective dataSource={data} xName='x' yName='y' width={2} name='Warmest'
          type='Line' marker={this.marker}>
        </SeriesDirective>
      </SeriesCollectionDirective>
    </ChartComponent>
  }

};
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).

import { AxisModel, ChartComponent, SeriesCollectionDirective, SeriesDirective, Inject,

from'@syncfusion/ej2-react-charts';
import { data } from 'datasource.ts';

class App extends React.Component<{}, {}> {

  public primaryxAxis: AxisModel = { title: 'Months', valueType: 'Category' };
  public marker = { dataLabel: { visible: true, position: 'Middle' } };

  render() {
    return <ChartComponent id='charts'
      primaryXAxis={this.primaryxAxis}>
      <Inject services={[LineSeries, Legend, Tooltip, DataLabel, Category]} />
      <SeriesCollectionDirective>
        <SeriesDirective dataSource={data} xName='x' yName='y' width={2} name='Warmest'
          type='Line' marker={this.marker}>
        </SeriesDirective>
      </SeriesCollectionDirective>
    </ChartComponent>
  }

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

Note: The position 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.

Text Mapping

Text from the data source can be mapped using name property.

      margin: {
        left: 5,
        right: 5,

Customization

stroke and border of data label can be customized using fill and border properties. Rounded corners can be customized using rx and ry properties.

    }

      primaryXAxis={this.primaryxAxis}>
      <Inject services={[ColumnSeries, Legend, Tooltip, DataLabel, Category]} />
      <SeriesCollectionDirective>
        <SeriesDirective dataSource={columnData} xName='country' yName='gold'
          type='Column' marker={this.marker}>
        </SeriesDirective>
      </SeriesCollectionDirective>
    </ChartComponent>
  }

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

Note: rx and ry properties requires border values not to be null.

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.
