## Developer Note
Please don't be discouraged if you see that it has been "years" since an update, but rather think that Lavacharts has settled into a "stable" state and requires less tinkering from me. I would love to add new features, but my responsibilities leave little room for my projects. I am happy to field issues, answer questions, debug and help if needed. Lavacharts is not vaporware! :smile:

## Installing
In your project's main `composer.json` file, add this line to the requirements:
```json
"khill/lavacharts": "^3.1"
```
Run Composer to install Lavacharts:
```bash
$ composer update
```
## Framework Agnostic
If you are using Lavacharts with Silex, Lumen or your own Composer project, that's no problem! Just make sure to:
`require 'vendor/autoload.php';` within you project and create an instance of Lavacharts: `$lava = new Khill\Lavacharts\Lavacharts;`
## Laravel
To integrate Lavacharts into Laravel, a ServiceProvider has been included.
### Laravel ~5.5
Thanks to the fantastic new [Package Auto-Discovery](https://laravel-news.com/package-auto-discovery) feature added in 5.5, you're ready to go, no registration required :+1:
#### Configuration
To modify the default configuration of Lavacharts, datetime formats for datatables or adding your maps api key...
Publish the configuration with `php artisan vendor:publish --tag=lavacharts`
### Laravel ~5.4
Register Lavacharts in your app by adding these lines to the respective arrays found in `config/app.php`:
```php
[
// ...
Khill\Lavacharts\Laravel\LavachartsServiceProvider::class,
],
// ...
'aliases' => [
// ...
'Lava' => Khill\Lavacharts\Laravel\LavachartsFacade::class,
]
```
#### Configuration
To modify the default configuration of Lavacharts, datetime formats for datatables or adding your maps api key...
Publish the configuration with `php artisan vendor:publish --tag=lavacharts`
### Laravel ~4
Register Lavacharts in your app by adding these lines to the respective arrays found in `app/config/app.php`:
```php
array(
// ...
"Khill\Lavacharts\Laravel\LavachartsServiceProvider",
),
// ...
'aliases' => array(
// ...
'Lava' => "Khill\Lavacharts\Laravel\LavachartsFacade",
)
```
#### Configuration
To modify the default configuration of Lavacharts, datetime formats for datatables or adding your maps api key...
Publish the configuration with `php artisan config:publish khill/lavacharts`
## Symfony
The package also includes a Bundle for Symfony to enable Lavacharts as a service that can be pulled from the Container.
### Add Bundle
Add the bundle to the registerBundles method in the AppKernel, found at `app/AppKernel.php`:
```php
DataTable();
$data->addDateColumn('Day of Month')
->addNumberColumn('Projected')
->addNumberColumn('Official');
// Random Data For Example
for ($a = 1; $a < 30; $a++) {
$rowData = [
"2017-4-$a", rand(800,1000), rand(800,1000)
];
$data->addRow($rowData);
}
```
Arrays work for datatables as well...
```php
$data->addColumns([
['date', 'Day of Month'],
['number', 'Projected'],
['number', 'Official']
]);
```
Or you can `use \Khill\Lavacharts\DataTables\DataFactory` [to create DataTables in another way](https://gist.github.com/kevinkhill/0c7c5f6211c7fd8f9658)
#### Chart Options
Customize your chart, with any options found in Google's documentation. Break objects down into arrays and pass to the chart.
```php
$lava->LineChart('Stocks', $data, [
'title' => 'Stock Market Trends',
'animation' => [
'startup' => true,
'easing' => 'inAndOut'
],
'colors' => ['blue', '#F4C1D8']
]);
```
#### Output ID
The chart will needs to be output into a div on the page, so an html ID for a div is needed.
Here is where you want your chart `
`
- If no options for the chart are set, then the third parameter is the id of the output:
```php
$lava->LineChart('Stocks', $data, 'stocks-div');
```
- If there are options set for the chart, then the id may be included in the options:
```php
$lava->LineChart('Stocks', $data, [
'elementId' => 'stocks-div'
'title' => 'Stock Market Trends'
]);
```
- The 4th parameter will also work:
```php
$lava->LineChart('Stocks', $data, [
'title' => 'Stock Market Trends'
], 'stocks-div');
```
## View
Pass the main Lavacharts instance to the view, because all of the defined charts are stored within, and render!
```php
= $lava->render('LineChart', 'Stocks', 'stocks-div'); ?>
```
Or if you have multiple charts, you can condense theh view code withL
```php
= $lava->renderAll(); ?>
```
