Accepted answer

There is now on option "mirror" to make the label appear inside the bar.

Example of "options" config for a horizontalBar chart :

options: {
    scales: {
        yAxes: [{ticks: {mirror: true}}]
    }
}

It seems like there is no direct option for this right now. A possible implementation is iterating over bars/columns by using onAnimationComplete hook. You can view this question for detailed explanations how to display data values on Chart.js

I would like you remind that this has a drawback. Since it uses onAnimationComplete, whenever an animation happens on chart, values will be disappear for a second and appear again.

Since on "bar" chart doesn't work the "mirror" option...

I've found a workaround solution: Fiddle link

I used a chart.js 2.8.0 version modified in this link

<html>
    <body>
        <canvas id="myChart" width="800" height="600">
        </canvas>
    </body>
</html>





var ctx = document.getElementById("myChart").getContext("2d");
var myChart = new Chart(ctx, {
type: "bar",
data: {
labels: ["ONE", "TWO", "THREE", "FOUR", "FIVE", "SIX", "SEVEN", "EIGHT"],
datasets: [{
    label: "Quota Eni mensile",
    backgroundColor: [
        "rgba(255, 255, 153, 1)",
        "rgba(255, 255, 153, 1)",
        "rgba(255, 255, 153, 1)",
        "rgba(255, 255, 153, 1)",
        "rgba(255, 255, 153, 1)",
        "rgba(255, 255, 153, 1)",
        "rgba(255, 255, 153, 1)",
        "rgba(255, 255, 153, 1)"
    ],
    borderColor: [
        "rgba(255, 255, 153, 1)",
        "rgba(255, 255, 153, 1)",
        "rgba(255, 255, 153, 1)",
        "rgba(255, 255, 153, 1)",
        "rgba(255, 255, 153, 1)",
        "rgba(255, 255, 153, 1)",
        "rgba(255, 255, 153, 1)",
        "rgba(255, 255, 153, 1)"
    ],
    borderWidth: 1,
    data: [10, 11, 18, 10, 13, 28, 12, 16]
  }
  ]
},
options: {
    legend: {
        display: false
    },
    scales: {
        xAxes: [{
            ticks:{
                maxRotation: 90,
                minRotation: 90,
                display: "top"
             },          
         }],
         yAxes: [{
             display: false
         }]
     },
     tooltips: {
         enabled: true
     },
     maintainAspectRatio: true,
     responsive: true
 }

});

Chart.plugins.register({
/* Adjust axis labelling font size according to chart size */
  id: "responsiveXlabels",
  beforeDraw: function(c) {
      var chartHeight = c.chart.height;
      var size = (chartHeight * 2.5) / 100;
      var xAxis = c.scales["x-axis-0"];
      xAxis.options.ticks.minor.fontSize = size;
      xAxis.height = 10;
      xAxis.minSize.height = 10;
      c.options.scales.xAxes[0].ticks.padding = -size * 4.5;
      xAxis.margins.bottom = size * 12.5;
  },
  afterDraw: function(c) {
      c.options.scales.xAxes[0].ticks.padding = -158;
  }

});

the responsiveXlabel plugin is used to transform text on resize. There's only one thing remained to solve: align text at the bottom of the axis.

Hope this helps who wants to implement mirroring on X Axis and satisfy responsive request.

You can achieve this effect in chartjs 2.0 + by rotating the labels 90 degrees and applying negative padding, so that the label moves up inside the 'bar'. Something like this:

new Chart(document.getElementById(id), {
  type: 'bar',
  data: data,
  options: {
    scales: {
      xAxes: [
        {
          ticks: {
            autoSkip: false,
            maxRotation: 90,
            minRotation: 90,
            padding: -110
          }
        }
      ]
    }
  }
});

See the tick configuration documentation for more information.

With reference to the original solution to displaying data value by using HTML5 Canvas fillText() method in the animation's onComplete, the code below will get you what you need:

The key to custom-displaying any chart related data is inspecting the chart's dataset as in this.data.datasets below. I did this by inspecting where the different values are in this dataset, as well as the position to place them for the fillText method.

Inspecting the chart's dataset: Image

Script (Chart.js 2.0 & up):

var barOptions = {
      events: false,
        showTooltips: false,
      legend: {
        display: false
      },
      scales:{
        yAxes: [{
          display: false
        }]
      },
        animation: {
        onComplete: function () {
          var ctx = this.chart.ctx;
          ctx.font = Chart.helpers.fontString(Chart.defaults.global.defaultFontFamily, 'normal', Chart.defaults.global.defaultFontFamily);
          ctx.textAlign = 'left';
          ctx.textBaseline = 'bottom';

          this.data.datasets.forEach(function (dataset) {
            for (var i = 0; i < dataset.data.length; i++) {
              var model = dataset._meta[Object.keys(dataset._meta)[0]].data[i]._model,
                  left = dataset._meta[Object.keys(dataset._meta)[0]].data[i]._xScale.left;
              ctx.fillStyle = '#444'; // label color
              var label = model.label;
              ctx.fillText(label, left + 15, model.y + 8);
            }
          });               
        }
        }
    };
