Chart Js in Laravel 8 Example Tutorial

  • Step 1: Create a route
  • Step 2: Create Controller
  • Step 3: Create Blade View File and Integrate Chart js Library
  • Step 4: Start Development Server

Step 1: Create a route

In the first step, you need to create routes for the chart js. So go to routes/web.php and update the below route in your file:

<?php

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;

use App\Http\Controllers\ChartJSController;

/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Web Routes
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| Here is where you can register web routes for your application. These
| routes are loaded by the RouteServiceProvider within a group which
| contains the "web" middleware group. Now create something great!
|
*/

Route::get('chart-js', [ChartJSController::class, 'index']);

Step 2: Create Controller

Next step, you need to create a new controller name ChartController.php. And update the below code into your controller:

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use App\Models\User;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Redirect,Response;
Use DB;
use Carbon\Carbon;

class ChartJSController extends Controller
{
    /**
     * Display a listing of the resource.
     *
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function index()
    {

 $record = User::select(\DB::raw("COUNT(*) as count"), \DB::raw("DAYNAME(created_at) as day_name"), \DB::raw("DAY(created_at) as day"))
    ->where('created_at', '>', Carbon::today()->subDay(6))
    ->groupBy('day_name','day')
    ->orderBy('day')
    ->get();

     $data = [];

     foreach($record as $row) {
        $data['label'][] = $row->day_name;
        $data['data'][] = (int) $row->count;
      }

    $data['chart_data'] = json_encode($data);
    return view('chart-js', $data);
    }

}

Step 3: Create Blade View File and Integrate Chart js Library

Final steps, in this step you need to create a blade view file. So go to the resources/views/chart-js.blade.php and update the below javascript and HTML code for displaying the pie chart using the chart js libraries:

   <script>
  $(function(){
      //get the pie chart canvas
      var cData = JSON.parse(`<?php echo $chart_data; ?>`);
      var ctx = $("#pie-chart");

      //pie chart data
      var data = {
        labels: cData.label,
        datasets: [
          {
            label: "Users Count",
            data: cData.data,
            backgroundColor: [
              "#DEB887",
              "#A9A9A9",
              "#DC143C",
              "#F4A460",
              "#2E8B57",
              "#1D7A46",
              "#CDA776",
            ],
            borderColor: [
              "#CDA776",
              "#989898",
              "#CB252B",
              "#E39371",
              "#1D7A46",
              "#F4A460",
              "#CDA776",
            ],
            borderWidth: [1, 1, 1, 1, 1,1,1]
          }
        ]
      };

      //options
      var options = {
        responsive: true,
        title: {
          display: true,
          position: "top",
          text: "Last Week Registered Users -  Day Wise Count",
          fontSize: 18,
          fontColor: "#111"
        },
        legend: {
          display: true,
          position: "bottom",
          labels: {
            fontColor: "#333",
            fontSize: 16
          }
        }
      };

      //create Pie Chart class object
      var chart1 = new Chart(ctx, {
        type: "pie",
        data: data,
        options: options
      });

  });
</script>
</body>
</html>

Note: Don’t forget to include the chart js libraries, jquery, and bootstrap CDN libraries on your blade view file and you can add or remove this library according to your requirement.

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.3.1/css/bootstrap.min.css">
 <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/Chart.js/2.8.0/Chart.js"></script>
 <script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.3.1.min.js"></script> 

Or also don’t forget to add this javascript code. The chart js library also provides so many options for the chart js. You can change or modify according to your requirements.

  <script>
  $(function(){
      //get the pie chart canvas
      var cData = JSON.parse(`<?php echo $chart_data; ?>`);
      var ctx = $("#pie-chart");

      //pie chart data
      var data = {
        labels: cData.label,
        datasets: [
          {
            label: "Users Count",
            data: cData.data,
            backgroundColor: [
              "#DEB887",
              "#A9A9A9",
              "#DC143C",
              "#F4A460",
              "#2E8B57",
              "#1D7A46",
              "#CDA776",
            ],
            borderColor: [
              "#CDA776",
              "#989898",
              "#CB252B",
              "#E39371",
              "#1D7A46",
              "#F4A460",
              "#CDA776",
            ],
            borderWidth: [1, 1, 1, 1, 1,1,1]
          }
        ]
      };

      //options
      var options = {
        responsive: true,
        title: {
          display: true,
          position: "top",
          text: "Last Week Registered Users -  Day Wise Count",
          fontSize: 18,
          fontColor: "#111"
        },
        legend: {
          display: true,
          position: "bottom",
          labels: {
            fontColor: "#333",
            fontSize: 16
          }
        }
      };

      //create Pie Chart class object
      var chart1 = new Chart(ctx, {
        type: "pie",
        data: data,
        options: options
      });

  });
</script>
