This README provides instructions on how to get the application up and running on your local machine.

• Once installed you can access the basic chart example at http://localhost:8080 (depending on env configuration).
• There is a 2nd example at the '/combined' route which is a simple example a combination chart.

If you have the following installed on your system, you can use the first option to run the application locally:

• PHP
• Composer
• Node.js
• npm

In case these tools aren't available, the Laravel Sail option will allow you to utilize Docker as the single dependency to run the Laravel application.

If you have PHP, Composer, Node.js and npm locally installed, follow these steps:

1. Clone the repository to your local machine.git clone https://github.com/trapzpro/sample-chart.git
2. Navigate to the application directory.cd sample-chart
3. Run composer install to download PHP dependencies.
4. Run npm install to download Node.js dependencies.
5. Rename .env.example to .env and modify the database configuration with the absolute path if using sqlite as per your local environment.
6. Run php artisan key:generate to generate an application key.
7. Run php artisan migrate to create database tables.
8. Run npm run dev to build and serve frontend assets.
9. Finally, run php artisan serve to start the Laravel server.

If you have Composer locally installed and Docker available, Laravel Sail can be utilized:

1. Clone the repository to your local machine.git clone https://github.com/trapzpro/sample-chart.git
2. Navigate to the application directory.cd sample-chart
3. Run composer install to download PHP dependencies.
4. Copy .env.example to .env and modify the database configuration with the absolute path if using sqlite as per your local environment.
5. Run ./vendor/bin/sail up to start the Laravel server.
6. Run ./vendor/bin/sail npm run dev to build and serve frontend assets.

If only Docker is available, you can still run the application using Laravel Sail:

1. Clone the repository to your local machine.git clone https://github.com/trapzpro/sample-chart.git
2. Navigate to the application directory.cd sample-chart
3. Run the following to download PHP dependencies. :

docker run --rm \
    -u "$(id -u):$(id -g)" \
    -v $(pwd):/opt \
    -w /opt \
    laravelsail/php81-composer:latest \
    composer install --ignore-platform-reqs

4. Copy .env.example to .env and modify the database configuration with the absolute path if using sqlite as per your local environment.
5. Run ./vendor/bin/sail up to start the Laravel server.
6. Run ./vendor/bin/sail npm run dev to build and serve frontend assets.

The application should now be running on your local machine. You can access it at http://localhost:8080 (depending on env configuration). Enjoy using this sample application! Should you have any questions or run into issues, feel free to open an issue.
