In this article, we will see how to create a dynamic stacked bar chart in laravel 9 using highchart. Here, we will learn highchart stacked bar column charts in laravel 7, laravel 8, and laravel 9. A stacked chart is a form of bar chart that shows the composition and comparison of a few variables, either relative or absolute, over time.
Also called a stacked bar or column chart, they look like a series of columns or bars that are stacked on top of each other. The stacked chart can represent either horizontally or vertically. You can install highcharts through npm and Bower. If you required npm or bower, prefer more npm or Bower respectively.
So, let's see the laravel 9 stacked bar chart, how to create a dynamic stacked bar chart in laravel 7/8/9 using highchart, and the column bar chart in laravel 9 using highchart.
Step 1: Install Laravel 9
Step 2: Create HighChartsController
Step 3: Add Route
Step 4: Create Blade File for Display Stacked Chart
Step 5: Add Script of Stacked Column Chart
In this step, we will install the laravel 9 application using the following command.
composer create-project laravel/laravel laravel-9-stacked-chart-hightchartsNow, we will create HighchartsController and add the highChart() function.
app/Http/Controllers/HighchartsController
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
class HighchartsController extends Controller
{
public function stackedHighChart()
{
return view('index', compact('stacked-chart'));
}
}In this step, we will add routes in the web.php file. So, add the following code to that file.
routes/web.php
use App\Http\Controllers\HighchartsController;
Route::get('highchart/stacked-chart', [HighchartsController::class, 'stackedHighChart']);In this step, we will create a stacked-chart.blade.php file. Also, we will add CSS and jQuery and add the following code to that file.
resources/views/stacked-chart.blade.php
<html>
<head>
<style>
#container {
height: 400px;
}
.highcharts-figure,
.highcharts-data-table table {
min-width: 310px;
max-width: 800px;
margin: 1em auto;
}
.highcharts-data-table table {
font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;
border-collapse: collapse;
border: 1px solid #ebebeb;
margin: 10px auto;
text-align: center;
width: 100%;
max-width: 500px;
}
.highcharts-data-table caption {
padding: 1em 0;
font-size: 1.2em;
color: #555;
}
.highcharts-data-table th {
font-weight: 600;
padding: 0.5em;
}
.highcharts-data-table td,
.highcharts-data-table th,
.highcharts-data-table caption {
padding: 0.5em;
}
.highcharts-data-table thead tr,
.highcharts-data-table tr:nth-child(even) {
background: #f8f8f8;
}
.highcharts-data-table tr:hover {
background: #f1f7ff;
}
</style>
</head>

<body>
<div id="container"></div>

<script src="https://code.highcharts.com/highcharts.js"></script>
<script src="https://code.highcharts.com/modules/exporting.js"></script>
