Laravel Reverb Live Dashboard

When building a dashboard with Financial information - it's nice to have it updated in real-time. So let's use Laravel Reverb to update a table and a few of our charts.

All the data to the dashboard comes from a DashboardController Controller.

app/Http/Controllers/DashboardController.php:

use Illuminate\View\View;
use App\Services\OrdersService;
 
class DashboardController extends Controller
{
    public function __invoke(OrdersService $ordersService): View
    {
        $totalRevenue = $ordersService->getTotalRevenue();
        $thisMonthRevenue = $ordersService->getThisMonthRevenue();
        $todayRevenue = $ordersService->getTodayRevenue();
        $latestOrders = $ordersService->getLatestOrders(5);
        $orderChartByMonth = $ordersService->orderChartByMonth();
        $orderChartByDay = $ordersService->orderChartByDay();
 
        return view(
            'dashboard',
            compact(
                'totalRevenue',
                'thisMonthRevenue',
                'todayRevenue',
                'latestOrders',
                'orderChartByDay',
                'orderChartByMonth'
            )
        );
    }
}

Calculations for the data are made using the OrdersService service.

app/Services/OrdersService.php:

use App\Models\Order;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Collection;
 
class OrdersService
{
    public function getTotalRevenue(): float|int
    {
        return Order::query()
                ->pluck('total')
                ->sum() / 100;
    }
    // ....

In this example, you will see:

• Service usage to retrieve the data
• Laravel Reverb usage to update the dashboard in real-time
