The first argument of the create method is the chart type, and the second is the library
```php
Charts::create('line', 'highcharts')
->setTitle('My nice chart')
->setLabels(['First', 'Second', 'Third'])
->setValues([5,10,20])
->setDimensions(1000,500)
->setResponsive(false);
```
## Multi Datasets Chart
| Multi Dataset Charts | line | area | bar | pie | donut | geo | gauge | temp | percentage | progressbar |

| justgage | - | - | - | - | - | - | - | - | - | - |
| progressbarjs | - | - | - | - | - | - | - | - | - | - |
To create multi-dataset charts simply add the values using the ```setDataset()``` function!
```php
Charts::multi('line', 'highcharts')
->setColors(['#ff0000', '#00ff00', '#0000ff'])
->setLabels(['One', 'Two', 'Three'])
->setDataset('Test 1', [1,2,3])
->setDataset('Test 2', [0,6,0])
->setDataset('Test 3', [3,4,1]);
```
- setDataset(required string $element_label, required array $values)
```php
Charts::multi('bar', 'minimalist')
->setResponsive(false)
->setDimensions(0, 500)
->setColors(['#ff0000', '#00ff00', '#0000ff'])
->setLabels(['One', 'Two', 'Three'])
->setDataset('Test 1', [1,2,3])
->setDataset('Test 2', [0,6,0])
->setDataset('Test 3', [3,4,1]);
```
## Database Charts
You can also generate database charts with simple setup!
```php
$chart = Charts::database(User::all(), 'bar', 'highcharts');
```
Example data:
**Note:** You are required to use a specific group method before rendering the chart!
*Important:* To work with the *GroupByYear, GroupByMonth, GroupByDay, lastByYear, lastByMonth & lastByDay* you'll need the column ```created_at``` in the data rows.
The available methods are:
- setData(required mixed $data)
Setup the data again.
```php
$chart = Charts::database(User::all(), 'bar', 'highcharts')->setData(Role::all());
```
- setDateColumn(required string $column)
Set the column to group the data.
*Default:* ```created_at```
```php
$chart = Charts::database(User::all(), 'bar', 'highcharts')->setDateColumn('my_date_column');
```
- setDateFormat(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')->setDateFormat('j F y');
```
- setMonthFormat(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')->setDateFormat('F Y');
```
- groupBy(required string $column)
Groups the data based on a column.
```php
$chart = Charts::database(User::all(), 'bar', 'highcharts')
->setElementLabel("Total")
->setDimensions(1000, 500)
->setResponsive(false)
->groupBy('game');
```
- groupByYear(optional int $years)
Groups the data based in years.
*Default:* ```$years = 4```
```php
$chart = Charts::database(User::all(), 'bar', 'highcharts')
->setElementLabel("Total")
->setDimensions(1000, 500)
->setResponsive(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')
->setElementLabel("Total")
->setDimensions(1000, 500)
->setResponsive(false)
->groupByYear(10);
```
- 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')
->setElementLabel("Total")
->setDimensions(1000, 500)
->setResponsive(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')
->setElementLabel("Total")
->setDimensions(1000, 500)
->setResponsive(false)
->groupByMonth('2016', true);
```
- 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')
->setElementLabel("Total")
->setDimensions(1000, 500)
->setResponsive(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')
->setElementLabel("Total")
->setDimensions(1000, 500)
->setResponsive(false)
->groupByDay('09', '2016', true);
```
- lastByYear(optional int $number)
Alias for groupByYear() method. Does the same.
*Default:* ```$number = 4```

->setElementLabel("Total")
->setDimensions(1000, 500)
->setResponsive(false)
->lastByYear(3);
```
- lastByMonth(optional int $number, optional boolean $fancy)
Display the numbers of months behind (relative to the current date).

->setElementLabel("Total")
->setDimensions(1000, 500)
->setResponsive(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')
->setElementLabel("Total")
->setDimensions(1000, 500)
->setResponsive(false)
->lastByMonth(6, true);
```
- lastByDay(optional int $number, optional boolean $fancy)
Display the numbers of days behind (relative to the current date).

You can create realtime charts.
Example json:
```json
{"value":31}
```
'value' can be changed to diferent index name with ```setValueName($string)```
```php
$chart = Charts::realtime(url('/path/to/json'), 2000, 'gauge', 'google')
->setValues([65, 0, 100])
->setLabels(['First', 'Second', 'Third'])
->setResponsive(false)
->setHeight(300)
->setWidth(0)
->setTitle("Permissions Chart")
->setValueName('value'); //This determines the json index for the value
```
**Note:** The interval is set in ms
The available methods are:
- setValueName(required string $string)
Sets the value json index.
*Default:* ```value```
```php
$chart = Charts::realtime(url('/path/to/json'), 2000, 'gauge', 'google')
->setValues([65, 0, 100])
->setLabels(['First', 'Second', 'Third'])
->setResponsive(false)
->setHeight(300)
->setWidth(0)
->setTitle("Permissions Chart")
->setValueName('value'); //This determines the json index for the value
```
- setUrl(required string $url)
Sets the url after chart object creation.
```php
$chart = Charts::realtime(url('/path/to/json'), 2000, 'gauge', 'google')
->setValues([65, 0, 100])
->setLabels(['First', 'Second', 'Third'])
->setResponsive(false)
->setHeight(300)
->setWidth(0)
->setTitle("Permissions Chart")
->setUrl(url('/new/json'));
```
- setInterval(required int $interval)
Sets the interval after chart object creation (ms).
```php
$chart = Charts::realtime(url('/path/to/json'), 2000, 'gauge', 'google')
->setValues([65, 0, 100])
->setLabels(['First', 'Second', 'Third'])
->setResponsive(false)
->setHeight(300)
->setWidth(0)
->setTitle("Permissions Chart")
->setInterval(3000); // in ms
```
- setMaxValues(required int $number)
Sets the max ammount of values to be seen before removing the first one.
```php
$chart = Charts::realtime(url('/path/to/json'), 1000, 'area', 'highcharts')
->setResponsive(false)
->setHeight(300)
->setWidth(0)
->setTitle("Permissions Chart")
->setMaxValues(10);
```
## Math Functions Charts
You can create math function charts.
```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```
- setFunction(required string $function)
Sets the function.
```php
Charts::math('sin(x)', [0, 10], 0.2, 'line', 'highcharts')->setFunction('x+1');
```
- setInterval(required array $interval)
Sets the function / chart interval.
```php
Charts::math('sin(x)', [0, 10], 0.2, 'line', 'highcharts')->setInterval([2, 8]);
```
- setAmplitude(required int $amplitude)
Sets the function amplitude between x points.
```php
Charts::math('sin(x)', [0, 10], 0.2, 'line', 'highcharts')->setAmplitude(0.5);
```
- calculate()
Calculates the valeus / 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();
```

## Chart Examples
### Pie
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('pie', 'highcharts')
->setTitle('My nice chart')
->setLabels(['First', 'Second', 'Third'])
->setValues([5,10,20])
->setDimensions(1000,500)
->setResponsive(false);
```
### 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')
->setTitle('My nice chart')
->setLabels(['First', 'Second', 'Third'])
->setValues([5,10,20])
->setDimensions(1000,500)
->setResponsive(false);
```
### Line
```php
Charts::create('line', 'highcharts')
->setTitle('My nice chart')
->setElementLabel('My nice label')
->setLabels(['First', 'Second', 'Third'])
->setValues([5,10,20])
->setDimensions(1000,500)
->setResponsive(false);
```
### Area
```php
Charts::create('area', 'highcharts')
->setTitle('My nice chart')
->setElementLabel('My nice label')
->setLabels(['First', 'Second', 'Third'])
->setValues([5,10,20])
->setDimensions(1000,500)
->setResponsive(false);
```
### 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')
->setTitle('My nice chart')
->setElementLabel('My nice label')
->setLabels(['First', 'Second', 'Third'])
->setValues([5,10,20])
->setDimensions(1000,500)
->setResponsive(false);
```
### 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')
->setTitle('My nice chart')
->setElementLabel('My nice label')
->setLabels(['ES', 'FR', 'RU'])
->setColors(['#C5CAE9', '#283593'])
->setValues([5,10,20])
->setDimensions(1000,500)
->setResponsive(false);
```
### Gauge
Note: You either need 1 value or 3 following this standar: ```[actualValue, minValue, maxValue]```
```php
Charts::create('gauge', 'canvas-gauges')
->setTitle('My nice chart')
->setElementLabel('My nice label')
->setValues([65,0,100])
->setResponsive(false)
->setHeight(300)
->setWidth(0);
```
### Temperature
Note: You either need 1 value or 3 following this standar: ```[actualValue, minValue, maxValue]```
```php
Charts::create('temp', 'canvas-gauges')
->setTitle('My nice chart')
->setElementLabel('My nice label')
->setValues([65,0,100])
->setResponsive(false)
->setHeight(300)
->setWidth(0);
```
### Percentage
Note: You either need 1 value or 3 following this standar: ```[actualValue, minValue, maxValue]```
```php
Charts::create('percentage', 'justgage')
->setTitle('My nice chart')
->setElementLabel('My nice label')
->setValues([65,0,100])
->setResponsive(false)
->setHeight(300)
->setWidth(0);
```
### Progressbar
Note: You either need 1 value or 3 following this standar: ```[actualValue, minValue, maxValue]```
```php
Charts::create('progressbar', 'progressbarjs')
->setValues([65,0,100])
->setResponsive(false)
->setHeight(50)
->setWidth(0);
```
## 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!
