Laravel Livewire Charts Example Tutorial
- Step 1 – Install Laravel 8 App
- Step 2 – Connecting App to Database
- Step 3 – Create Model & Migration using Artisan
- Step 4 – Install Livewire Package
- Step 5 – Install Livewire Charts Package
- Step 5 – Build Livewire Component using Artisan
- Step 6 – Create Route
- Step 7 – Create View File
- Step 8 – Run Development Server
Step 1 – Install Laravel 8 App
First of all, Execute following command to install laravel fresh app for laravel 8 livewire charts app:
composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel blog
Step 2 – Connecting App to Database
In this step, Add database credentials in the .env file. So open your project root directory and find .env file. Then add database detail in .env file:
DB_CONNECTION=mysql DB_HOST=127.0.0.1 DB_PORT=3306 DB_DATABASE=here your database name here DB_USERNAME=here database username here DB_PASSWORD=here database password here
Step 3 – Run Migration
In this step, Execute the following command to create model name Expense.php:
php artisan make:model Expense -m
Then open create_expenses_table.php and update the up() function, which is located inside database/migration directory:
public function up()
{
Schema::create('expenses', function (Blueprint $table) {
$table->id();
$table->string('description');
$table->decimal('amount');
$table->string('type');
$table->timestamps();
});
}
Now, open command prompt and execute the following command to create the table into your database:
php artisan migrate
Step 4 – Install Livewire Package
In this step, Execute the following command to install livewire package in laravel 8 app:
composer require livewire/livewire
Step 5 – Install Livewire Charts Package
In this step, execute the following command to install livewire charts package:
composer require asantibanez/livewire-charts
Step 5: Build Livewire Component using Artisan
In this step, create the livewire components for creating a livewire charts component using the following command in laravel 8 app. So Open your cmd and execute the following command:
php artisan make:livewire LivewireCharts
This command will create the following components on the following path:
app/Http/Livewire/LivewireCharts.php resources/views/livewire/livewire-charts.blade.php
Now, Navigate to app/Http/Livewire folder and open LivwireCharts.php file. Then add the following code into your LivwireCharts.php file:
<?php
namespace App\Http\Livewire;
use App\Models\Expense;
use Asantibanez\LivewireCharts\Models\AreaChartModel;
use Asantibanez\LivewireCharts\Models\ColumnChartModel;
use Asantibanez\LivewireCharts\Models\LineChartModel;
use Asantibanez\LivewireCharts\Models\PieChartModel;
use Livewire\Component;
class LivewireCharts extends Component
{
public $types = ['food', 'shopping', 'entertainment', 'travel', 'other'];
public $colors = [
'food' => '#f6ad55',
'shopping' => '#fc8181',
'entertainment' => '#90cdf4',
'travel' => '#66DA26',
'other' => '#cbd5e0',
];
public $firstRun = true;
protected $listeners = [
'onPointClick' => 'handleOnPointClick',
'onSliceClick' => 'handleOnSliceClick',
'onColumnClick' => 'handleOnColumnClick',
];
public function handleOnPointClick($point)
{
dd($point);
}
public function handleOnSliceClick($slice)
{
dd($slice);
}
public function handleOnColumnClick($column)
{
dd($column);
}
public function render()
{
$expenses = Expense::whereIn('type', $this->types)->get();
$columnChartModel = $expenses->groupBy('type')
->reduce(function (ColumnChartModel $columnChartModel, $data) {
$type = $data->first()->type;
$value = $data->sum('amount');
return $columnChartModel->addColumn($type, $value, $this->colors[$type]);
}, (new ColumnChartModel())
->setTitle('Expenses by Type')
->setAnimated($this->firstRun)
->withOnColumnClickEventName('onColumnClick')
);
$pieChartModel = $expenses->groupBy('type')
->reduce(function (PieChartModel $pieChartModel, $data) {
$type = $data->first()->type;
$value = $data->sum('amount');
return $pieChartModel->addSlice($type, $value, $this->colors[$type]);
}, (new PieChartModel())
->setTitle('Expenses by Type')
->setAnimated($this->firstRun)
->withOnSliceClickEvent('onSliceClick')
);
$lineChartModel = $expenses
->reduce(function (LineChartModel $lineChartModel, $data) use ($expenses) {
$index = $expenses->search($data);
$amountSum = $expenses->take($index + 1)->sum('amount');
if ($index == 6) {
$lineChartModel->addMarker(7, $amountSum);
}
if ($index == 11) {
$lineChartModel->addMarker(12, $amountSum);
}
return $lineChartModel->addPoint($index, $amountSum, ['id' => $data->id]);
}, (new LineChartModel())
->setTitle('Expenses Evolution')
->setAnimated($this->firstRun)
->withOnPointClickEvent('onPointClick')
);
$areaChartModel = $expenses
->reduce(function (AreaChartModel $areaChartModel, $data) use ($expenses) {
return $areaChartModel->addPoint($data->description, $data->amount, ['id' => $data->id]);
}, (new AreaChartModel())
->setTitle('Expenses Peaks')
->setAnimated($this->firstRun)
->setColor('#f6ad55')
->withOnPointClickEvent('onAreaPointClick')
->setXAxisVisible(false)
->setYAxisVisible(true)
);
$this->firstRun = false;
return view('livewire.livewire-charts')
->with([
'columnChartModel' => $columnChartModel,
'pieChartModel' => $pieChartModel,
'lineChartModel' => $lineChartModel,
'areaChartModel' => $areaChartModel,
]);
}
}
After that, Navigate to resources/views/livewire folder and open livewire-charts.blade.php file. Then add the following code into your livewire-charts.blade.php.blade.php file:
<div class="container mx-auto space-y-4 p-4 sm:p-0">
<ul class="flex flex-col sm:flex-row sm:space-x-8 sm:items-center">
<li>
<input type="checkbox" value="travel" wire:model="types"/>
<span>Travel</span>
</li>
<li>
<input type="checkbox" value="shopping" wire:model="types"/>
<span>Shopping</span>
</li>
<li>
<input type="checkbox" value="food" wire:model="types"/>
<span>Food</span>
</li>
<li>
<input type="checkbox" value="entertainment" wire:model="types"/>
<span>Entertainment</span>
</li>
<li>
<input type="checkbox" value="other" wire:model="types"/>
<span>Other</span>
</li>
</ul>
<div class="flex flex-col sm:flex-row space-y-4 sm:space-y-0 sm:space-x-4">
<div class="shadow rounded p-4 border bg-white flex-1" style="height: 32rem;">
<livewire:livewire-column-chart
key="{{ $columnChartModel->reactiveKey() }}"
:column-chart-model="$columnChartModel"
/>
</div>
<div class="shadow rounded p-4 border bg-white flex-1" style="height: 32rem;">
<livewire:livewire-pie-chart
key="{{ $pieChartModel->reactiveKey() }}"
:pie-chart-model="$pieChartModel"
/>
</div>
</div>
<div class="shadow rounded p-4 border bg-white" style="height: 32rem;">
<livewire:livewire-line-chart
key="{{ $lineChartModel->reactiveKey() }}"
:line-chart-model="$lineChartModel"
/>
</div>
<div class="shadow rounded p-4 border bg-white" style="height: 32rem;">
<livewire:livewire-area-chart
key="{{ $areaChartModel->reactiveKey() }}"
:area-chart-model="$areaChartModel"
/>
</div>
</div>
Step 6: Create Route
In this step, Navigate to routes folder and open web.php. Then add the following routes into your web.php file:
Route::get('/livewire-charts', function () {
return view('home');
});
Step 7: Create View File
In this step, navigate to resources/views/ folder and create one blade view files that name home.blade.php file. Then add the following code into your home.blade.php file:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="{{ str_replace('_', '-', app()->getLocale()) }}">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
<title>Laravel 8 Livewire Charts</title>
<link href="https://unpkg.com/tailwindcss@^1.0/dist/tailwind.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
<livewire:styles />
</head>
<body class="bg-gray-200 p-8">
<livewire:livewire-charts/>
<livewire:scripts />
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/alpinejs/[email protected]/dist/alpine.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/apexcharts"></script>
</body>
</html>
Step 8: Run Development Server
Finally, you need to execute the following PHP artisan serve command to start your laravel livewire charts app:
php artisan serve
If you want to run the project diffrent port so use this below command
php artisan serve --port=8080
Now, open browser and test laravel 8 livewire charts app:
http://localhost:8000/livewire-charts
