The available methods are: - data(required mixed $data) Setup the data again. ```php $chart = Charts::database(User::all(), 'bar', 'highcharts')->data(Role::all()); ``` - dateColumn(required string $column) Set the column to group the data. *Default:* ```created_at``` ```php $chart = Charts::database(User::all(), 'bar', 'highcharts')->dateColumn('my_date_column'); ``` - dateFormat(required string $format) Set the fancy date format for `groupByDay()` and `lastByDay()` function if `$fancy` set to true, must be called before those function. *Default:* ```l dS M, Y``` ```php $chart = Charts::database(User::all(), 'bar', 'highcharts')->dateFormat('j F y'); ``` - monthFormat(required string $format) Set the fancy date format for `groupByMonth()` and `lastByMonth()` function if `$fancy` set to true, must be called before those function. *Default:* ```F, Y``` ```php $chart = Charts::database(User::all(), 'bar', 'highcharts')->dateFormat('F Y'); ``` - groupBy(required string $column, optional string $relationColumn, optional array $labelsMapping) Groups the data based on a column. *Note:* Relationship column follows this standard: ```->groupBy('product_id', 'product.model');``` where second argument will set labels to model column of product table based on it's relationship with the model. ```php $chart = Charts::database(User::all(), 'bar', 'highcharts') ->elementLabel("Total") ->dimensions(1000, 500) ->responsive(false) ->groupBy('game'); ``` ![Example GroupBy](https://i.gyazo.com/30183fa75f6bee6848898c4dbe487491.png) You can use the $labelsMapping to override labels. The following example overrides the label of different user types stored as integer in database. ```php $chart = Charts::database(User::all(), 'pie', 'highcharts') ->title('User types') ->dimensions(1000, 500) ->responsive(false) ->groupBy('type', null, [1 => 'Admins', 2 => 'Users', 3 => 'Trainees']); ``` - groupByYear(optional int $years) Groups the data based in years. *Default:* ```$years = 4``` ```php $chart = Charts::database(User::all(), 'bar', 'highcharts') ->elementLabel("Total") ->dimensions(1000, 500) ->responsive(false) ->groupByYear(); // to display a number of years behind, pass a int parameter. For example to display the last 10 years: $chart = Charts::database(User::all(), 'bar', 'highcharts') ->elementLabel("Total") ->dimensions(1000, 500) ->responsive(false) ->groupByYear(10); ``` ![Example GroupByYear](https://i.gyazo.com/5d992b6ce858fee8ed455c61e3bec546.png) - groupByMonth(optional string $year, optional boolean $fancy) Groups the data in months (if no year set, the current one will be used). *Default:* ```$year = 7, $fancy = false``` ```php $chart = Charts::database(User::all(), 'bar', 'highcharts') ->elementLabel("Total") ->dimensions(1000, 500) ->responsive(false) ->groupByMonth(); // to display a specific year, pass the parameter. For example to display the months of 2016 and display a fancy output label: $chart = Charts::database(User::all(), 'bar', 'highcharts') ->elementLabel("Total") ->dimensions(1000, 500) ->responsive(false) ->groupByMonth('2016', true); ``` ![Example GroupByYear](https://i.gyazo.com/8d93b2f74857047339317d54b5082868.png) - groupByDay(optional string $month, optional string $year, optional boolean $fancy) Groups the data in days (if no year/month set, the current one will be used). *Default:* ```$month = date('m'), $year = date('Y'), $fancy = false``` ```php $chart = Charts::database(User::all(), 'bar', 'highcharts') ->elementLabel("Total") ->dimensions(1000, 500) ->responsive(false) ->groupByDay(); // to display a specific month and/or year, pass the parameters. For example to display the days of september 2016 and display a fancy output label: $chart = Charts::database(User::all(), 'bar', 'highcharts') ->elementLabel("Total") ->dimensions(1000, 500) ->responsive(false) ->groupByDay('09', '2016', true); ``` ![Example GroupByYear](https://i.gyazo.com/b461f29f41a0a5ac046f1cea79083dcc.png) - lastByYear(optional int $number) Alias for groupByYear() method. Does the same. *Default:* ```$number = 4``` ```php $chart = Charts::database(User::all(), 'bar', 'highcharts') ->elementLabel("Total") ->dimensions(1000, 500) ->responsive(false) ->lastByYear(); // to display a number of years behind, pass a int parameter. For example to display the last 3 years: $chart = Charts::database(User::all(), 'bar', 'highcharts') ->elementLabel("Total") ->dimensions(1000, 500) ->responsive(false) ->lastByYear(3); ``` ![Example LastByYear](https://i.gyazo.com/7f85bec0fb49f5729608aa87b8657fc1.png) - lastByMonth(optional int $number, optional boolean $fancy) Display the numbers of months behind (relative to the current date). *Default:* ```$number = 6, $fancy = false``` ```php $chart = Charts::database(User::all(), 'bar', 'highcharts') ->elementLabel("Total") ->dimensions(1000, 500) ->responsive(false) ->lastByMonth(); // to display a number of months behind, pass a int parameter. For example to display the last 6 months and use a fancy output: $chart = Charts::database(User::all(), 'bar', 'highcharts') ->elementLabel("Total") ->dimensions(1000, 500) ->responsive(false) ->lastByMonth(6, true); ``` ![Example LastByMonth](https://i.gyazo.com/7c7df6503749fda8d96807d6bc2861aa.png) - lastByDay(optional int $number, optional boolean $fancy) Display the numbers of days behind (relative to the current date). *Default:* ```$number = 7, $fancy = false``` ```php $chart = Charts::database(User::all(), 'bar', 'highcharts') ->elementLabel("Total") ->dimensions(1000, 500) ->responsive(false) ->lastByDay(); // to display a number of days behind, pass a int parameter. For example to display the last 14 days and use a fancy output: $chart = Charts::database(User::all(), 'bar', 'highcharts') ->elementLabel("Total") ->dimensions(1000, 500) ->responsive(false) ->lastByDay(14, true); ``` ![Example LastByDay](https://i.gyazo.com/eeac8c7551ed681ef3728454ba4be9f0.png) - preaggregated(boolean $preaggregated) Set to true if using an aggregate database query such as count, max, min, avg, and sum. ```php $data = Orders::select('orders.created_at', DB::raw('count(orders.id) as aggregate'))->groupBy(DB::raw('Date(orders.created_at)'))->get(); //must alias the aggregate column as aggregate $chart = Charts::database($data)->preaggregated(true)->lastByDay(7, false); ``` ### Database method alternative When creating charts, you might wanna take full control of it, this might be done creating the chart with the ```create``` method and adding the data from the database: ``` $data = Shopping::all(); $chart = Charts::create('bar', 'highcharts') ->title('My nice chart') ->elementLabel('My nice label') ->labels($data->pluck('shoppingDate')) ->values($data->pluck('price')) ->responsive(true); ``` ## Realtime Charts ![Realtime Chart Example](https://i.gyazo.com/77a9365e9270cb16a28c6acf11abadc3.gif) | Realtime Charts | line | area | bar | pie | donut | geo | gauge | temp | percentage | progressbar | |-----------------|------|------|-----|-----|-------|-----|-------|------|------------|-------------| | chartjs | - | - | - | - | - | - | - | - | - | - | | highcharts | x | x | x | - | - | - | - | - | - | - | | google | - | - | - | - | - | - | x | - | - | - | | material | - | - | - | - | - | - | - | - | - | - | | chartist | - | - | - | - | - | - | - | - | - | - | | fusioncharts | - | - | - | - | - | - | - | - | - | - | | morris | - | - | - | - | - | - | - | - | - | - | | plottablejs | - | - | - | - | - | - | - | - | - | - | | minimalist | - | - | - | - | - | - | - | - | - | - | | c3 | - | - | - | - | - | - | - | - | - | - | | canvas-gauges | - | - | - | - | - | - | x | x | - | - | | justgage | - | - | - | - | - | - | x | - | x | - | | progressbarjs | - | - | - | - | - | - | - | - | x | x | You can create realtime charts. Example json: ```json {"value":31} ``` 'value' can be changed to different index name with ```valueName($string)``` ```php $chart = Charts::realtime(url('/path/to/json'), 2000, 'gauge', 'google') ->values([65, 0, 100]) ->labels(['First', 'Second', 'Third']) ->responsive(false) ->height(300) ->width(0) ->title("Permissions Chart") ->valueName('value'); //This determines the json index for the value ``` **Note:** The interval is set in ms The available methods are: - valueName(required string $string) Sets the value json index. *Default:* ```value``` ```php $chart = Charts::realtime(url('/path/to/json'), 2000, 'gauge', 'google') ->values([65, 0, 100]) ->labels(['First', 'Second', 'Third']) ->responsive(false) ->height(300) ->width(0) ->title("Permissions Chart") ->valueName('value'); //This determines the json index for the value ``` - url(required string $url) Sets the url after chart object creation. ```php $chart = Charts::realtime(url('/path/to/json'), 2000, 'gauge', 'google') ->values([65, 0, 100]) ->labels(['First', 'Second', 'Third']) ->responsive(false) ->height(300) ->width(0) ->title("Permissions Chart") ->url(url('/new/json')); ``` - interval(required int $interval) Sets the interval after chart object creation (ms). ```php $chart = Charts::realtime(url('/path/to/json'), 2000, 'gauge', 'google') ->values([65, 0, 100]) ->labels(['First', 'Second', 'Third']) ->responsive(false) ->height(300) ->width(0) ->title("Permissions Chart") ->interval(3000); // in ms ``` - maxValues(required int $number) Sets the max amount of values to be seen before removing the first one. ```php $chart = Charts::realtime(url('/path/to/json'), 1000, 'area', 'highcharts') ->responsive(false) ->height(300) ->width(0) ->title("Permissions Chart") ->maxValues(10); ``` ## Math Functions Charts You can create math function charts. ![Math Functions Example](https://i.gyazo.com/0dc9c2bd8ce55f16ff2c217afc9614dd.png) ```php Charts::math('sin(x)', [0, 10], 0.2, 'line', 'highcharts'); ``` The function is ```sin(x)```, the interval is ```[0, 10]``` and the ```x``` amplitude is ```0.2``` - function(required string $function) Sets the function. ```php Charts::math('sin(x)', [0, 10], 0.2, 'line', 'highcharts')->mathFunction('x+1'); ``` - interval(required array $interval) Sets the function / chart interval. ```php Charts::math('sin(x)', [0, 10], 0.2, 'line', 'highcharts')->interval([2, 8]); ``` - amplitude(required int $amplitude) Sets the function amplitude between x points. ```php Charts::math('sin(x)', [0, 10], 0.2, 'line', 'highcharts')->amplitude(0.5); ``` - calculate() Calculates the values / labels for the chart. **Note:** This function is called every time a modification is made in the chart function, interval or amplitude so you don't need to call it every time you change the values. It's just an auxiliary function. ```php Charts::math('sin(x)', [0, 10], 0.2, 'line', 'highcharts')->calculate(); ``` ## Charts Functions - create(optional string $type, optional string $library) Returns a new chart instance, if no library is specified, the default one will be used. ```php Charts::create('line'); Charts::create('line', 'highcharts'); ``` - database(required mixed $object, optional string $type, optional string $library) Returns a new database chart instance that extends the base one. ```php Charts::database(User::all()); Charts::create(User::all(), 'line', 'highcharts'); ``` - realtime(required string $url, required int $interval, optional string $type, optional string $library) Returns a new database chart instance that extends the base one. ```php Charts::realtime(url('/json/data'), 2000, 'gauge', 'google') ``` - math(required string $function, required array $interval, required int $amplitude, optional string $type, optional string $library) Returns a new math function chart instance that extends the base one. ```php Charts::math('sin(x)', [0, 10], 0.2, 'line', 'highcharts'); ``` - assets(optional array $libraries) Returns all the assets to generate the graphs.

Well it can but it's complicated, so I leave it here. ```php Charts::create('pie', 'highcharts') ->title('My nice chart') ->labels(['First', 'Second', 'Third']) ->values([5,10,20]) ->dimensions(1000,500) ->responsive(false); ``` ![Example Pie](https://i.gyazo.com/b61a0a5786a8f70daf61398d256366b8.png) ### Donut / Doughnut Note: ```highcharts``` and ```chartist``` can't change the color of this chart. Well they can but it's complicated, so I leave it here. ```php Charts::create('donut', 'highcharts') ->title('My nice chart') ->labels(['First', 'Second', 'Third']) ->values([5,10,20]) ->dimensions(1000,500) ->responsive(false); ``` ![Example Donut](https://i.gyazo.com/fecef4a102cb348d0f7f3681120a600f.png) ### Line ```php Charts::create('line', 'highcharts') ->title('My nice chart') ->elementLabel('My nice label') ->labels(['First', 'Second', 'Third']) ->values([5,10,20]) ->dimensions(1000,500) ->responsive(false); ``` ![Example Line](https://i.gyazo.com/121736e3b8aa7f22ad17a7c0ceecac02.png) ### Area ```php Charts::create('area', 'highcharts') ->title('My nice chart') ->elementLabel('My nice label') ->labels(['First', 'Second', 'Third']) ->values([5,10,20]) ->dimensions(1000,500) ->responsive(false); ``` ![Example Area](https://i.gyazo.com/f6c500cf9bfc2e449d64ee19b7bb809c.png) ### Areaspline ```php Charts::multi('areaspline', 'highcharts') ->title('My nice chart') ->colors(['#ff0000', '#ffffff']) ->labels(['Monday', 'Tuesday', 'Wednesday', 'Thursday', 'Friday','Saturday', 'Sunday']) ->dataset('John', [3, 4, 3, 5, 4, 10, 12]) ->dataset('Jane', [1, 3, 4, 3, 3, 5, 4]); ``` ![Example Area](https://s30.postimg.org/6uwe893kx/areaspline.png) ### Bar Note: ```highcharts``` can't change the color of this chart. Well it can but it's complicated, so I leave it here. ```php Charts::create('bar', 'highcharts') ->title('My nice chart') ->elementLabel('My nice label') ->labels(['First', 'Second', 'Third']) ->values([5,10,20]) ->dimensions(1000,500) ->responsive(false); ``` ![Example Bar](https://i.gyazo.com/94ada1aac091ef3cbc84433a3425a9aa.png) ### Geo Note: The labels must have the country codes, not the name. Note 2: To add color to the chart, you'll need to provide an array of at least 2 colors. The first is the min and the second the max. ```php Charts::create('geo', 'highcharts') ->title('My nice chart') ->elementLabel('My nice label') ->labels(['ES', 'FR', 'RU']) ->colors(['#C5CAE9', '#283593']) ->values([5,10,20]) ->dimensions(1000,500) ->responsive(false); ``` ![Example Geo](https://i.gyazo.com/f7a76582e80912864c6cfb23f688e43e.png) ### Gauge Note: You either need 1 value or 3 following this standard: ```[actualValue, minValue, maxValue]``` ```php Charts::create('gauge', 'canvas-gauges') ->title('My nice chart') ->elementLabel('My nice label') ->values([65,0,100]) ->responsive(false) ->height(300) ->width(0); ``` ![Example Gauge](https://i.gyazo.com/a9bc88c6550d39a15b5a686ea66df0ea.png) ### Temperature Note: You either need 1 value or 3 following this standard: ```[actualValue, minValue, maxValue]``` ```php Charts::create('temp', 'canvas-gauges') ->title('My nice chart') ->elementLabel('My nice label') ->values([65,0,100]) ->responsive(false) ->height(300) ->width(0); ``` ![Example Temperature](https://i.gyazo.com/1a8f264ffd9746da06d67c3624eaac81.png) ### Percentage Note: You either need 1 value or 3 following this standard: ```[actualValue, minValue, maxValue]``` ```php Charts::create('percentage', 'justgage') ->title('My nice chart') ->elementLabel('My nice label') ->values([65,0,100]) ->responsive(false) ->height(300) ->width(0); ``` ![Example Percentage](https://i.gyazo.com/d39af8739c12eae6558046aa2031e6c0.png) ### Progressbar Note: You either need 1 value or 3 following this standard: ```[actualValue, minValue, maxValue]``` ```php Charts::create('progressbar', 'progressbarjs') ->values([65,0,100]) ->responsive(false) ->height(50) ->width(0); ``` ![Example Progressbar](https://i.gyazo.com/ecd6a20344939ab75767739d32780104.png) ### Credits Disable Note: ```highcharts``` credits disable available. Default credits is enable. ```php Charts::multi('line', 'highcharts')->credits(false); ``` ## Charts in tabs ![Example tab chart](https://i.gyazo.com/7588eb53db5045a8b3231247d25f8cd6.gif) Rendering charts on tabs will cause them to render very bad. The cause is that unactive tabs have no dimensions and charts try to adapt to a 0 dimensions division. Lucky for you I'll add a quick method to make it work! 1. Create a layout, call it something like: ```layoyts/charts.blade.php``` ``` {!! Charts::assets() !!} @yield('chart') ``` 2. Create a new folder where you'll add all charts, for example: ```charts/``` 3. Create a new file inside, for example: ```latest_users.blade.php``` and add the cart ``` @extends('layouts.charts') @section('chart') {!! Charts::database(App\User::all(), 'line', 'material')->dimensions(0,$height)->title('Latest Users')->lastByDay(7, true)->elementLabel('New Users')->render() !!} @endsection ``` 4. Create a new route in ```routes/web.php``` ``` Route::get('/charts/{name}/{height}', 'ChartsController@show')->name('chart'); ``` 5. Create a new Controller ```ChartsController``` ``` protected_charts)) { $this->checkProtected(); } return view("charts.$name", ['height' => $height]); } /** * Protected charts will go here first. * You can change this condition how you like. */ public function checkProtected() { if(!Auth::user()->admin) { abort(404); } } } ``` Make sure to change your stuff, it's all documented 6. Go to your view where you have your tabs, and inside that tab you like add the chart iframe with the height. **Note:** This example uses materializecss. They have a loader that makes it cooler to load up charts :) ``` @php $chart_height = 300; @endphp
``` 7. Add this script changing the tab id with yours **Note:** As you can see it also uses the loader from materializecss, you can remove them as well. ``` ``` ## Extend your way! You can create your own Charts by forking this repository. The ```src/Templates``` folder contains all the current charts, but you can add yours like this: ### Create a new file Create a new file, the syntax is: ```library.type.php``` if your chart library is called: ```mylib``` and your template is for the line chart: ```line``` Then you create a file like this: ```mylib.line.php``` To call it later, just use: ```php $chart = Charts::create('line', 'mylib'); ``` You will need to add the CSS / JS to the includes.php file found in the ```/src``` folder. You have plenty of examples to see how to put the data so just take a closer look at all the included templates before doing yours!
