Chart Blocks

Open source

Chart compositions on the chart-card shell: a KPI metric with a headline figure, a dual-axis column/line combo, a waterfall bridge and a grid of liquid gauges. One chart in a card is chart-card plus a chart example. Comparison instead frames a two-series bar chart in a tray, with a range select swapping the bundled dataset client-side.

# Brok UI block: Chart Metric (`chart-metric`)

A KPI chart card leading with a headline figure and a delta badge over an animated single-series trend line.

Brok UI is a Laravel Blade registry. `ui:add` copies this block into the app as plain Blade the app owns; it composes installed `<brok:*>` primitives and semantic design tokens.

## Install

```bash
php artisan ui:add blocks/chart-metric
```

## Render it

```blade
<x-blocks.chart-metric type="area" />
```

## Props

- `heading` (string, default `Revenue`) — Muted KPI label above the value.
- `value` (string, default `$48,200`) — Headline figure.
- `trend` (string|null, default `+12.5%`) — Delta badge; a leading minus tones it destructive.
- `type` (area|line|bar, default `area`) (variant) — Chart type behind the figure.
- `series` (array|null, default `null`) — ApexCharts series; null renders a twelve-month sample.
- `categories` (array|null, default `null`) — X-axis categories; null renders month names.
- `height` (int, default `320`) — Chart height in pixels.

## Use when

- A dashboard tile must lead with one number and show how it got there.
- A single measure is tracked over a period and the shape of the line matters more than its exact values.

## Avoid when

- Several series are compared; use a chart card with a legend instead.
- No history exists behind the number; use the stat primitive.

## Rules

- Render the installed block with `<x-blocks.chart-metric />` and pass data through its props; edit the copied file only for structural changes.
- Keep the semantic design tokens (`bg-background`, `text-muted-foreground`); never swap in raw colour utilities.
- Keep the `data-slot` attributes and the logical (start/end) spacing so the markup still mirrors under `dir="rtl"`.

Guidance

Use when

A dashboard tile must lead with one number and show how it got there.
A single measure is tracked over a period and the shape of the line matters more than its exact values.

Avoid when

Several series are compared; use a chart card with a legend instead.
No history exists behind the number; use the stat primitive.

Anti-patterns

Do not replace semantic props with conflicting utility classes.
Do not remove labels, focus styles, or state attributes.

Anatomy: chart card KPI label headline value trend badge area or line chart

Usage

Render the block as a component, passing data where useful:

resources/views/welcome.blade.php Blade

<x-blocks.chart-metric />

The controls above the preview are props on this composition. What you picked reads:

Built from primitives

Composes <brok:*> Semantic tokens Re-themeable RTL-ready

This block composes installed <brok:*> primitives and semantic design tokens only — it does not reimplement any primitive. Re-theme it (light, dark, admin, customer) by editing CSS variables; flip the preview to RTL to confirm it mirrors.

Source

The exact, editable file ui:add writes into your app. The preview above renders this same source — there are no preview-only blocks.
