Hey team, I have been experimenting with the “Category Chart” custom component. I would like to include Data labels for these charts.
I have a couple of questions:
-Is there a way to add data labels using the current options available in the “Category Chart” custom component
-If this component is based on chart.js, is it possible to load plugins to achieve the data labels?
Any details here would be awesome. Thank you.
Hello @Bradd_Schofield
Could you explain or show example what is data label? Even better if you share a link for plugin.
We will look and investigate what we could do.
Regards, Dima.
Hey @Dima
Yes, I have attached an example of the “Data Labels” that we are looking for. We would like to view a static display of the “Value” of the chart data. I know that “hover” chart values are already possible but we would ideally like to display permanent static values on the charts.
Chart.js offers a plugin for “Data Labels”. The documentation has been linked below. We would love to include some of this functionality in the charts available in backendless UI.
Hello @Bradd_Schofield
Thank you for the link.
We will look and investigate what we could do.

I would love to learn more about my options here. Would it be possible for me to install the complete chart.js library in backendless and use the full functionality of the chart.js?
Hello @Bradd_Schofield
I want to clarify. Do you want to create your own custom component for this?
Regards,
Zahar
