Step 1: Install Laravel 9

This is optional; however, if you have not created the laravel app, then you may go ahead and execute the below command:

composer create-project laravel/laravel example-app

Step 2: Create Route

first of all we will create simple route for creating simple line chart. so let's add simple routes as like bellow:

routes/web.php

<?php  use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;  use App\Http\Controllers\HighchartController;  /*|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| Web Routes|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|| Here is where you can register web routes for your application. These| routes are loaded by the RouteServiceProvider within a group which| contains the "web" middleware group. Now create something great!|*/  Route::get('chart', [HighchartController::class, 'index']);

Here, we will create new controller as HighchartController. so let's add bellow code on that controller file.

app/Http/Controllers/HighchartController.php

<?php  namespace App\Http\Controllers;  use Illuminate\Http\Request;use App\Models\User;use DB;  class HighchartController extends Controller{    /**     * Write code on Method     *     * @return response()     */    public function index()    {        $users = User::select(DB::raw("COUNT(*) as count"))                    ->whereYear('created_at', date('Y'))                    ->groupBy(DB::raw("Month(created_at)"))                    ->pluck('count');                    return view('chart', compact('users'));    }}

Step 4: Create Blade File:

resources/views/chart.blade.php
