Check updated jsfiddle
.renderlet(function(chart){
var barsData = [];
var bars = chart.selectAll('.bar').each(function(d) { barsData.push(d); });
//Remove old values (if found)
d3.select(bars[0][0].parentNode).select('#inline-labels').remove();
//Create group for labels
var gLabels = d3.select(bars[0][0].parentNode).append('g').attr('id','inline-labels');
for (var i = bars[0].length - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
var b = bars[0][i];
//Only create label if bar height is tall enough
if (+b.getAttribute('height') < 18) continue;
gLabels
.append("text")
.text(barsData[i].data.value)
.attr('x', +b.getAttribute('x') + (b.getAttribute('width')/2) )
.attr('y', +b.getAttribute('y') + 15)
.attr('text-anchor', 'middle')
.attr('fill', 'white');
}
})
If you don’t want the labels visible when the bars redraw (for example when bars change after user filters/clicks other chart) you can move the check of old values from de renderlet to the to a preRedraw
listener.
.on("preRedraw", function(chart){
//Remove old values (if found)
chart.select('#inline-labels').remove();
})
Alternative
D3-ish way
Demo jsfiddle
.renderlet(function (chart) {
//Check if labels exist
var gLabels = chart.select(".labels");
if (gLabels.empty()){
gLabels = chart.select(".chart-body").append('g').classed('labels', true);
}
var gLabelsData = gLabels.selectAll("text").data(chart.selectAll(".bar")[0]);
gLabelsData.exit().remove(); //Remove unused elements
gLabelsData.enter().append("text") //Add new elements
gLabelsData
.attr('text-anchor', 'middle')
.attr('fill', 'white')
.text(function(d){
return d3.select(d).data()[0].data.value
})
.attr('x', function(d){
return +d.getAttribute('x') + (d.getAttribute('width')/2);
})
.attr('y', function(d){ return +d.getAttribute('y') + 15; })
.attr('style', function(d){
if (+d.getAttribute('height') < 18) return "display:none";
});
})
