how to display data values on Chart.js

There is an official plugin for Chart.js 2.7.0+ to do this: Datalabels

Otherwise, you can loop through the points / bars onAnimationComplete and display the values

HTML

<canvas id="myChart1" height="300" width="500"></canvas>
<canvas id="myChart2" height="300" width="500"></canvas>

Script

var chartData = {
    labels: ["January", "February", "March", "April", "May", "June"],
    datasets: [
        {
            fillColor: "#79D1CF",
            strokeColor: "#79D1CF",
            data: [60, 80, 81, 56, 55, 40]
        }
    ]
};

var ctx = document.getElementById("myChart1").getContext("2d");
var myLine = new Chart(ctx).Line(chartData, {
    showTooltips: false,
    onAnimationComplete: function () {

        var ctx = this.chart.ctx;
        ctx.font = this.scale.font;
        ctx.fillStyle = this.scale.textColor
        ctx.textAlign = "center";
        ctx.textBaseline = "bottom";

        this.datasets.forEach(function (dataset) {
            dataset.points.forEach(function (points) {
                ctx.fillText(points.value, points.x, points.y - 10);
            });
        })
    }
});

var ctx = document.getElementById("myChart2").getContext("2d");
var myBar = new Chart(ctx).Bar(chartData, {
    showTooltips: false,
    onAnimationComplete: function () {

        var ctx = this.chart.ctx;
        ctx.font = this.scale.font;
        ctx.fillStyle = this.scale.textColor
        ctx.textAlign = "center";
        ctx.textBaseline = "bottom";

        this.datasets.forEach(function (dataset) {
            dataset.bars.forEach(function (bar) {
                ctx.fillText(bar.value, bar.x, bar.y - 5);
            });
        })
    }
});

This works for Chart.js 2.3, including for both line/bar types.

Important: Even if you don't need the animation, don't change the duration option to 0. Otherwise, you will get chartInstance.controller is undefined error.

var chartData = {
    labels: ["January", "February", "March", "April", "May", "June"],
        datasets: [
            {
                fillColor: "#79D1CF",
                strokeColor: "#79D1CF",
                data: [60, 80, 81, 56, 55, 40]
            }
        ]
    };

var opt = {
    events: false,
    tooltips: {
        enabled: false
    },
    hover: {
        animationDuration: 0
    },
    animation: {
        duration: 1,
        onComplete: function () {
            var chartInstance = this.chart,
                ctx = chartInstance.ctx;
            ctx.font = Chart.helpers.fontString(Chart.defaults.global.defaultFontSize, Chart.defaults.global.defaultFontStyle, Chart.defaults.global.defaultFontFamily);
            ctx.textAlign = 'center';
            ctx.textBaseline = 'bottom';

            this.data.datasets.forEach(function (dataset, i) {
                var meta = chartInstance.controller.getDatasetMeta(i);
                meta.data.forEach(function (bar, index) {
                    var data = dataset.data[index];
                    ctx.fillText(data, bar._model.x, bar._model.y - 5);
                });
            });
        }
    }
};
var ctx = document.getElementById("Chart1"),
    myLineChart = new Chart(ctx, {
       type: 'bar',
       data: chartData,
       options: opt
    });

<canvas id="myChart1" height="300" width="500"></canvas>
