Tutorial: Line Chart using ChartJS, AngularJS and PHP MySQLi with Source Code
Getting Started
I’ve used CDN for Bootstrap, AngularJS and ChartJS, so you need an internet connection for them to work.
Creating our Database
First, we’re going to create our MySQL Database to fetch data, from:
1. Open phpMyAdmin.
2. Click databases, create a database and name it as angular.
3. After creating a database, click the SQL and paste the below codes. See image below for detailed instruction.
CREATE TABLE `sales` ( `saleid` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, `amount` double NOT NULL, `sale_date` datetime NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY(`saleid`) ) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;
INSERT INTO `sales` (`saleid`, `amount`, `sale_date`) VALUES (17, 50, '2018-01-01 16:00:00'), (18, 600, '2018-02-01 16:00:00'), (19, 50, '2018-02-04 16:00:00'), (20, 700, '2018-03-02 16:00:00'), (21, 350, '2018-04-03 16:00:00'), (22, 100, '2018-05-04 16:00:00'), (23, 650, '2018-06-05 16:00:00'), (24, 250, '2018-07-06 16:00:00'), (25, 200, '2018-08-07 16:00:00'), (26, 450, '2018-09-08 16:00:00'), (27, 750, '2018-10-09 16:00:00'), (28, 800, '2018-11-10 16:00:00'), (29, 150, '2018-12-11 16:00:00'), (30, 50, '2018-01-06 16:00:00'), (31, 50, '2018-01-16 16:00:00'), (32, 40, '2018-01-01 16:00:00'), (33, 10, '2018-01-21 16:00:00'), (34, 250, '2017-01-04 16:00:00'), (35, 800, '2017-02-01 16:00:00'), (36, 500, '2017-03-02 16:00:00'), (37, 750, '2017-04-03 16:00:00'), (38, 550, '2017-05-04 16:00:00'), (39, 100, '2017-06-05 16:00:00'), (40, 300, '2017-07-06 16:00:00'), (41, 750, '2017-08-07 16:00:00'), (42, 700, '2017-09-08 16:00:00'), (43, 50, '2017-10-09 16:00:00'), (44, 400, '2017-11-10 16:00:00'), (45, 550, '2017-12-11 16:00:00');
index.html
This is an index which contains our add form and the chart itself.

This is an PHP code/api that adds data into a MySQL database.
<?php
$conn = new mysqli("localhost", "root", "", "angular");
$out = array('error' => false);
$data = json_decode(file_get_contents("php://input"));
$amount = $data->amount;
$date = $data->date;
$sql = "INSERT INTO sales (amount, sale_date) VALUES ('$amount', '$date')";
$query = $conn->query($sql);
if($query){
$out['message'] = "Purchase added successfully";
}
else{
$out['error'] = true;
$out['message'] = "Cannot add purchase";
}
echo json_encode($out);
?> fetchsales.php
Lastly, this is an PHP api that fetches data from our database to be used in a chart.
<?php
$conn = new mysqli("localhost", "root", "", "angular");
//set timezone
//date_default_timezone_set('Asia/Manila');
$year = date('Y'); //2018
$prev = $year - 1;
$out = array();
for ($month = 1; $month <= 12; $month ++){
$sql="SELECT sum(amount) AS total FROM sales WHERE month(sale_date)='$month' AND year(sale_date)='$year'";
$query=$conn->query($sql);
$row=$query->fetch_array();
$out['year'][]=$row['total'];
}
for ($month = 1; $month <= 12; $month ++){
$sql="SELECT sum(amount) AS total FROM sales WHERE month(sale_date)='$month' AND year(sale_date)='$prev'";
$pquery=$conn->query($sql);
$prow=$pquery->fetch_array();
$out['prev'][]=$prow['total'];
}
echo json_encode($out);
?>
