how to append text to svg path via javascript(svg.js)

Hey I have some svg elements which are open paths and I want to add to them some labels. Now my original code was in canvas and I am looking for a techinuqe similiar to canvas(fillText) where you can add text label to your svg elements.

I am adding the code, I am using the library svg.js for svg capabilities. Please take a closer look at ticklines method, a method which was writing in canvas and now I am trying to convert it to svg. This my final result which I want to achieve:

enter image description here

Update:

I have put some changes to the code and now my labels appears but some of them are up side down. How can I fix it? I want this to be like in the picture.

$(function(){
   var draw = SVG('drawing').size(1024, 1020);
    
    // Define all your triangle points
    var v0={x:58,y:845};
    var v1={x:984,y:845};
    var v2={x:521,y:41};
    var triangle=[v0,v1,v2];

    // Define all your segments here
    var segments=[
      { 
        points:[{x:58,y:845},{x:272,y:845},{x:567,y:333},{x:461,y:150}],
        fill:'rgb(172,236,222)',
        label:{text:'D1',cx:300,cy:645,withLine:false,endX:null,endY:null},
      },
      { 
        points:[{x:272,y:845},{x:567,y:333},{x:646,y:468},{x:572,y:597},{x:716,y:845}],

The following answer to this question was found after chatting with op:

To create a text in svg.js and move it to a specific position you use:

draw.text(myText).move(100, 200)

When myText is not a string make sure to convert it before passing it to the function e.g. myText + ""

So for the code above the following would do it:

draw.text(parseInt(i*10) + "").move(x1, y1)

Also note, that it is not possible, to append text to a path in a way like you write text at a position where your "pen" is at that moment. However aligning text at a path is ofc possible.
