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

Route::get('chart', 'ChartController@index');

Create Controller:

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

app/Http/Controllers/ChartController.php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;
  
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\User;
  
class ChartController extends Controller
{
    /**
     * The attributes that are mass assignable.
     *
     * @var array
     */
    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'));
    }
}
