Charts
Token-themed data visualisations — the core multi-series chart plus dependency-free SVG variants for sankey, word-cloud, venn, liquid and violin plots.
Preview
This wrapper requires ApexCharts. Run `npm install apexcharts` and make it available on `window` to render charts; until then a loading state is shown.
Controls
Device view renders in an isolated frame so real responsive breakpoints apply. Switch to Full for overflowing popovers.
Installation
php artisan ui:add chart
Behavior layer (Alpine)
This component installs a self-registering Alpine module to
resources/js/ui/chart.js. Import the behavior layer once
from your bundle so it loads (it hooks alpine:init):
import './chart.js';

Guidance
Chart and visual analyticsReveal a visual trend, distribution, flow, or relationship.
Use when
- Use when trend, distribution, flow, intensity, or relationship questions are easier to answer visually than in raw numbers. Do not use a chart when users mainly need exact lookup or when a single metric would be clearer as text or a stat.
Avoid when
- Choose a chart only when the user’s question is inherently visual, such as trend, distribution, flow, or relationship.

API
manifest knowledge + registry-derived coverageProps
| Prop | Type / values | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| type | bar|line|area|pie|mixed | bar | ApexCharts chart type. |
| series | array | [] | ApexCharts series payload. |
| options | array | [] | ApexCharts options merged with token-themed defaults. |
| height | int | 320 | Chart and fallback minimum height in pixels. |

Slots
Components use the default Blade slot unless a documented subcomponent is installed by the registry item.

Capabilities
Behavior
- Uses server-rendered Blade and semantic HTML.
- Loads ApexCharts, applies token-aware defaults, renders into the referenced container, and shows a fallback while loading or on error.
- Installs a JavaScript behavior module when the registry item includes resources/js/ui files.
- Declares registry capability flags: a11y, interactive, responsive, rtl, darkMode, localized.
Usage
<div class="space-y-4">
<x-ui.chart
type="bar"
:height="300"
:series="[['name' => __('Revenue'), 'data' => [30, 40, 35, 50, 49, 60, 70]]]"
:options="['xaxis' => ['categories' => ['Jan', 'Feb', 'Mar', 'Apr', 'May', 'Jun', 'Jul']]]"
label="{{ __('Monthly revenue') }}"
/>
<p class="text-sm text-muted-foreground">
{{ __('This wrapper requires ApexCharts. Run `npm install apexcharts` and make it available on `window` to render charts; until then a loading state is shown.') }}
</p>
</div>
Accessibility & localization
data-slot
Keyboard focus-visible
Localized labels
- Accessibility target: wcag-2.2-aa-target.
- Uses semantic HTML and a stable
data-slotattribute for styling/scripting hooks. - Focus-visible rings use the
ringtoken so keyboard focus is always visible. - Disabled and invalid states are conveyed to assistive tech, not by color alone.
- Targets WCAG 2.2 AA; verify contrast in light, dark, admin and customer surfaces above.
- Labels go through
__()and the component uses logical properties (ms-*,text-start,start-*) so it mirrors correctly — flip the preview to RTL to confirm.

The exact, editable file ui:add writes
into your app — copy it or own the whole thing. Previews
render this same code; there are no preview-only components.
