Important Notice

This is a fork of the original package and it's not supported by the official developers of chartjs-plugin-datalabels.

New features:

• Border style customization:
  • borderDash — dash pattern, similar to the setLineDash() method of the Canvas 2D API
  • borderDashOffset — adjust the offset of the dash pattern, similar to the lineDashOffset property of the Canvas 2D API
  • borderCapStyle — similar to the lineCap property of the Canvas 2D API
• Text decoration, you can add flexibly customizable underlines, overlines, or strikethrough lines:
  • placement — position of the line ('underline', 'overline', 'line-through')
  • color (defaults to the datalabel color)
  • thickness
  • length (you can provide a function that uses the text width to calculate the length)
  • offset — vertical offset in px
  • lineDash — dash pattern, similar to the setLineDash() method of the Canvas 2D API
  • lineDashOffset — adjust the offset of the dash pattern, similar to the lineDashOffset property of the Canvas 2D API
  • lineCapStyle — similar to the lineCap property of the Canvas 2D API

New features are still being tested and may not be fully functional yet.

I plan to submit these changes as a pull request to the official chartjs-plugin-datalabels package in the future.
