Hello developer! In this article, we'll see how to create a dynamic line chart in laravel 11 using chart js. You can easily create a line chart using ChartJS jQuery. Chart.js is a free, open-source JavaScript library for data visualization, which supports eight chart types: bar, line, area, pie, bubble, radar, polar, and scatter.
ChartJS is a Simple yet flexible JavaScript charting library for the modern web. Also, you can use with npm and CDN.
In this step, we'll install the laravel 11 application using the following command.
composer create-project laravel/laravel laravel-11-chart-example
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']);
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'));
}
}
Then, we'll create a blade file and also use chartjs line chart.
resources/views/chart.blade.php

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>
Next, we'll create dummy records for testing purposes using the tinker.
php artisan tinker
User::factory()->count(50)->create()
Now, run the laravel 11 application using the following command.
php artisan serve
