Step 2: Create Route

first of all we will create simple route for creating simple line chart. so let's add simple routes as like bellow:

routes/web.php 
<?php
  
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;
  
use App\Http\Controllers\HighchartController;
  
/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Web Routes
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| Here is where you can register web routes for your application. These
| routes are loaded by the RouteServiceProvider within a group which
| contains the "web" middleware group. Now create something great!
|
*/
  
Route::get('chart', [HighchartController::class, 'index']);
Step 3: Create Controller

Here, we will create new controller as HighchartController. so let's add bellow code on that controller file.

app/Http/Controllers/HighchartController.php 
<?php
  
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
  
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Models\User;
use DB;
  
class HighchartController extends Controller
{
    /**
     * Write code on Method
     *
     * @return response()
     */
    public function index()
    {
        $users = User::select(DB::raw("COUNT(*) as count"))
                    ->whereYear('created_at', date('Y'))
                    ->groupBy(DB::raw("Month(created_at)"))
                    ->pluck('count');
            
        return view('chart', compact('users'));
    }
}
Step 4: Create Blade File:
