Chart.js V2: Add prefix or suffix to tooltip label
In addition to iecs' answer, if you want to return the exact default text and add some more (like a € sign in your case), use following syntax :
var ctx = $(chartCanvas);
window.chartObject = new Chart(ctx, {
type: 'bar',
data: chartData,
options: {
tooltips: {
callbacks: {
label: function(tooltipItems, data) {
return data.datasets[tooltipItems.datasetIndex].label +': ' + tooltipItems.yLabel + ' €';
}
}
}
}
});
In the V2.0 the tooltipTemplate option is deprecated. Instead you can use callbacks to modify the displayed tooltips. There is a sample for the usage of callbacks here and you can find the possible callbacks in the documentation under Chart.defaults.global.tooltips
In your case I would do the following:
window.myLine = new Chart(chart, {
type: 'line',
data: lineChartData,
options: {
tooltips: {
enabled: true,
mode: 'single',
callbacks: {
label: function(tooltipItems, data) {
return tooltipItems.yLabel + ' €';
}
}
},
}
});
Don't forget to set the HTML meta tag:
