Chartjs hide data point labels

Question

I created graph using chartjs. It works fine, only issue is it shows data labels (numbers) on each point. I want to hide them, but cannot find how. Can anyone help me solve this issue ? I tried setting pointRadius = 0, but it did not do what I want.

Also if I can not hide them is there a way I can change their color ?

const ctx = document.getElementById('timelineChart');

I had the same issue and came across this post. I'm guessing you have datalabels plugin installed (I did). Add this to your chart options:

plugins: {
    datalabels: {
        display: false,
    },
}

Hope this helps
