30 Sep 2022 / 5 minutes to read

Data labels provide information to users about the shapes of the Maps component. It can be enabled by setting the visible property of the dataLabelSettings to true.

Adding data labels

To display data labels in the Maps, the labelPath property of dataLabelSettings 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.

Adding data label as a template

The data label can be added as a template in the Maps component. The template property of dataLabelSettings is used to set the data label as a template. Any text or HTML element can be added as the template in data labels.

The customization properties of data label, smartLabelMode and intersectionAction properties are not applicable to template property. The styles can be applied to the label template using the CSS styles of the template element.
