Step 1: Install Laravel 11 Application

In this step, we'll install the laravel 11 application using the following command.

composer create-project laravel/laravel laravel-11-chart-example

 

Step 2: Define a Route

Now, we'll define routes into the web.php file

routes/web.php

<?php
  
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;
  
use App\Http\Controllers\ChartJSController;
  
Route::get('chart', [ChartJSController::class, 'index']);
 
Step 3: Create a Controller

Next, we'll create a ChartJSController.php using the following command and define the function.

app/Http/Controllers/ChartJSController.php

<?php
  
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
    
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Illuminate\View\View;
use App\Models\User;
use DB;
    
class ChartJSController extends Controller
{
    /**
     * Write code on Method
     *
     * @return View
     */
    public function index(): View
    {
        $users = User::select(DB::raw("COUNT(*) as count"), DB::raw("MONTHNAME(created_at) as month_name"))
                    ->whereYear('created_at', date('Y'))
                    ->groupBy(DB::raw("Month(created_at)"))
                    ->pluck('count', 'month_name');
 
        $labels = $users->keys();
        $data = $users->values();
              
        return view('chart', compact('labels', 'data'));
    }
}
 
Step 4: Create Blade File

Then, we'll create a blade file and also use chartjs line chart.

      var labels =  {{ Js::from($labels) }};
      var users =  {{ Js::from($data) }};
  
      const data = {
        labels: labels,
        datasets: [{
          label: 'My First dataset',
          backgroundColor: 'rgb(255, 99, 132)',
          borderColor: 'rgb(255, 99, 132)',
          data: users,
        }]
      };
  
      const config = {
        type: 'line',
        data: data,
        options: {}
      };
  
      const myChart = new Chart(
        document.getElementById('myChart'),
        config
      );
  
</script>
</html>
 
Step 5: Create Dummy Records

Next, we'll create dummy records for testing purposes using the tinker.

php artisan tinker

User::factory()->count(50)->create()

 

Step 6: Run the Laravel 11 Application

Now, run the laravel 11 application using the following command.

php artisan serve

Output:
