I am currently working with chart.js and have encountered an issue where the value on top of the bar is not always displayed properly (it sometimes goes outside the canvas). In my research, I found a solution on how to display data values on Chart.js from this link: how to display data values on Chart.js
However, in that solution, they used tooltips along with the text tweak inside the bars. I prefer not to use tooltips.
var ctx = document.getElementById("myChart");
var myChart = new Chart(ctx, {
type: 'bar',
data: {
labels: ["2 Jan", "9 Jan", "16 Jan", "23 Jan", "30 Jan", "6 Feb", "13 Feb"],
datasets: [{
data: [6, 87, 56, 15, 88, 60, 12],
backgroundColor: "#4082c4"
}]
},
options: {
"hover": {
"animationDuration": 0
},
"animation": {
"duration": 1,
"onComplete": function () {
var chartInstance = this.chart,
ctx = chartInstance.ctx;
ctx.font = Chart.helpers.fontString(Chart.defaults.global.defaultFontSize, Chart.defaults.global.defaultFontStyle, Chart.defaults.global.defaultFontFamily);
ctx.textAlign = 'center';
ctx.textBaseline = 'bottom';
this.data.datasets.forEach(function (dataset, i) {
var meta = chartInstance.controller.getDatasetMeta(i);
meta.data.forEach(function (bar, index) {
var data = dataset.data[index];
ctx.fillText(data, bar._model.x, bar._model.y - 5);
});
});
}
},
legend: {
"display": false
},
tooltips: {
"enabled": false
},
scales: {
yAxes: [{
display: false,
gridLines: {
display : false
},
ticks: {
display: false,
beginAtZero:true
}
}],
xAxes: [{
gridLines: {
display : false
},
ticks: {
beginAtZero:true
}
}]
}
}
});
My objective is to display the value only on top of the bars for all cases consistently.
