README

Lightweight PHP-first SVG charting library with zero JavaScript output

Orchid Charts is a server-side charting library that generates clean, accessible SVG charts directly in PHP — no JS, no hydration, no runtime dependencies. It includes built-in dark theme support, so charts adapt cleanly to light and dark interfaces.

Installation

composer require orchid/charts

Quick start

use Orchid\Charts\LineChart;

$chart = LineChart::make()
    ->labels(['Jan', 'Feb', 'Mar', 'Apr', 'May', 'Jun'])
    ->dataset('Sales', [1240, 1890, 1650, 2340, 2780, 3120])
    ->dataset('Profit', [890, 1340, 980, 1670, 2010, 2450]);

echo $chart; // or $chart->render()

All chart objects are Stringable, so you can render them with echo $chart.

Bar

use Orchid\Charts\BarChart;

echo BarChart::make()
    ->labels(['Mon', 'Tue', 'Wed'])
    ->dataset('Revenue', [90, 140, 110]);

Pie

use Orchid\Charts\PieChart;

echo PieChart::make()
    ->labels(['Desktop', 'Mobile', 'Tablet'])
    ->dataset('Traffic', [58, 35, 7]);

Donut

use Orchid\Charts\DonutChart;

echo DonutChart::make()
    ->labels(['Direct', 'Search', 'Referral'])
    ->dataset('Channels', [45, 40, 15]);

Percentage

use Orchid\Charts\PercentageChart;

echo PercentageChart::make()
    ->labels(['Done', 'In progress', 'Backlog'])
    ->dataset('Sprint', [55, 30, 15]);

Dataset formatter (tooltip value)

Use a callback as the third parameter:

use Orchid\Charts\LineChart;

echo LineChart::make()
    ->labels(['Jan', 'Feb'])
    ->dataset('Visitors', [172, 181], static fn (int|float $value): string => $value.' visits');

Or pass both color and formatter:

->dataset('Visitors', [172, 181], '#2563eb', static fn (int|float $value): string => $value.' visits')
