Display labels on data for any type of charts.

DataLabels is made possible with the help of chartjs-plugin-datalabels.

Installation

NuGet

Install-Package Blazorise.Charts.DataLabels

Static Files

Include the necessary files into your index.html or _Layout.cshtml / _Host.cshtml file, depending if you’re using a Blazor WebAssembly or Blazor Server side project.

Examples

Line Chart

The plugin options can be changed at 2 different levels and are evaluated with the following priority:

  • Per dataset: with Datasets parameter
  • Per chart: with Options parameter

In the following example, we are using both. With Options, we're defining the shared styles, and with Datasets we're defining the styles for specific datasets. 

<LineChart @ref="@lineChart" TItem="int" Options="@lineChartOptions">
    <ChartDataLabels TItem="int" Datasets="@lineDataLabelsDatasets" Options="@lineDataLabelsOptions" />
</LineChart>

    private LineChart<int> lineChart;

Scriptable Options

The ChartDataLabelsOptions object values also support functions as a callback. This feature allows you to change values dynamically based on the current state of data or dataset. Please note that whatever function expression you have will be transpiled to JavaScript, and it will be executed in JavaScript. 

static Expression<Func<ScriptableOptionsContext, string>> TestScriptableColor = ( context ) => context.Active ? "#ff0000" : "#4bc0c0";

List<ChartDataLabelsDataset> lineDataLabelsDatasets = new()
{
    new()
    {
        DatasetIndex = 0,
        Options = new()
        {
            BackgroundColor = TestScriptableColor,
            BorderColor = TestScriptableColor,
            Align = "start",
            Anchor = "start"
        }
    },
    ...
};
