README

Simple package to facilitate and automate the use of (network) charts in Laravel 5.x

using Visjs.

Code is 'inspired' from laravel-chartjs.

Installation

Via Composer

$ composer require wladiz2001/visjs

Finaly, for now, you must install and add to your layouts / templates the Visjs library that can be easily found for download at: http://visjs.org/. This setting will also be improved.

Usage

You can request to Service Container the service responsible for building the charts and passing through fluent interface the chart settings.

$service = app()->visjs
    ->name()
    ->type()
    ->size()
    ->datasets()
    ->options();

For now the builder needs the name of the chart, the type of chart that can be anything that is supported by visjs and the other custom configurations like, datasets, size and options.

In the dataset interface you can pass any configuration and option to your chart. All options available in visjs documentation are supported. Just write the configuration with php array notations and its work!

Advanced visjs options

Since the current version allows it to add simple json string based options, it is not possible to generate options like:

    options: {
        scales: {
            xAxes: [{
                type: 'time',
                time: {
                    displayFormats: {
                        quarter: 'MMM YYYY'
                    }
                }
            }]
        }
    }

Using the method optionsRaw(string) its possible to add a the options in raw format:

        $chart->optionsRaw = "{
            legend: {
                display:false
            },
            scales: {
                xAxes: [{
                    gridLines: {
                        display:false
                    }  
                }]
            }
        }";

Examples

1 - Network Chart:

// ExampleController.php

$edges = [
    ["from" => 7905, "to" => "7886", "label" => 50068, "length" => 10],
    ["from" => -1, "to" => "7905", "label" => 100, "group" => 40]
];
$nodes = [
	["id" => -10, "shape" => "circularImage", "size" => 40, "color" => '#999', "borderWidth" => 1],
	["id" => 7905, "label" => "loyal", "value" => 500, "group" => 'big1'],
	["id" => 7886, "label" => "sensitive", "value" => 100, "group" => 'big2']
];

$visjs = app()->visjs
        ->name('networkChartTest')
        ->type('Network')
        ->size(['width' => 400, 'height' => 200])
        ->datasets(["nodes" => $nodes, "edges" => $edges])
        ->options([]);

return view('example', compact('visjs'));


 // example.blade.php

<div style="width:75%;">
    {!! $visjs->render() !!}
</div>
