README

A Laravel wrapper for apex charts library.

Why should I use a fork?

The maintainer of the original package is not really active. To many developers are waiting for a new release. I will try to keep this package up to date.
Using phpstan and cs-fixer for better code
I added more options for xaxis, yaxis, grid options chart animations with real classes and not just arrays

Installation

Use composer.

composer require marineusde/larapex-charts

Usage

Basic example

In your controller add:

$chart = (new LarapexChart)->setTitle('Posts')
                   ->setDataset([150, 120])
                   ->setLabels(['Published', 'No Published']);

Remember to import the Facade to your controller with

use marineusde\LarapexCharts\Facades\LarapexChart;

Or importing the LarapexChart class:

use marineusde\LarapexCharts\LarapexChart;

Then in your view (Blade file) add:

 <!doctype html>
 <html lang="en">
 <head>
     <meta charset="UTF-8">
     <meta name="viewport"
           content="width=device-width, user-scalable=no, initial-scale=1.0, maximum-scale=1.0, minimum-scale=1.0">
     <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="ie=edge">
     <title>Chart Sample</title>
 </head>
 <body>
 
     {!! $chart->container() !!}
 
     <script src="{{ $chart->cdn() }}"></script>
 
     {{ $chart->script() }}
 </body>
 </html>

The $chart must be an object of LarapexChart, not the controller or class that create it.

More complex example

$chart = (new AreaChart)
        ->setTitle('Total Users Monthly')
        ->setSubtitle('From January to March')
        ->setXAxisOptions(new XAxisOption([
            'Jan', 'Feb', 'Mar'
        ]))
        ->setDataset([
            [
                'name'  =>  'Active Users',
                'data'  =>  [250, 700, 1200]
            ]
        ]);

You can create a variety of charts including: Line, Area, Bar, Horizontal Bar, Heatmap, pie, donut and Radialbar.

Better using with vite

Its better to use vite (or other plugins of this kind) for your projects, cause you cant get problems with version conflicts of apex charts:

install npm
install vite and vite-plugin-static-copy with npm
copy the code in the vite.config.js

import {defineConfig, normalizePath} from 'vite';
import { viteStaticCopy } from "vite-plugin-static-copy";

export default defineConfig({
    plugins: [
        viteStaticCopy({
            targets: [
                {
                    src: 'node_modules/apexcharts/dist/apexcharts.js',
                    dest: 'js'
                }
            ]
        })
    ]
});

run: npm run build

now you can use the js file in your blade files:

<script src="{{ asset('build/js/apexcharts.js') }}"></script>
