## Overview

Filament comes with a "stats overview" widget template, which you can use to display a number of different stats in a single widget, without needing to write a custom view.

Start by creating a widget with the command:

```bash
php artisan make:filament-widget StatsOverview --stats-overview
```

This command will create a new `StatsOverview.php` file. Open it, and return `Stat` instances from the `getStats()` method:

```php
<?php

namespace App\Filament\Widgets;

use Filament\Widgets\StatsOverviewWidget as BaseWidget;
use Filament\Widgets\StatsOverviewWidget\Stat;

class StatsOverview extends BaseWidget
{
    protected function getStats(): array
    {
        return [
            Stat::make('Unique views', '192.1k'),
            Stat::make('Bounce rate', '21%'),
            Stat::make('Average time on page', '3:12'),
        ];
    }
}
```

Now, check out your widget in the dashboard.

## Adding a description and icon to a stat

You may add a `description()` to provide additional information, along with a `descriptionIcon()`:

```php
use Filament\Widgets\StatsOverviewWidget\Stat;

protected function getStats(): array
{
    return [
        Stat::make('Unique views', '192.1k')
            ->description('32k increase')
            ->descriptionIcon('heroicon-m-arrow-trending-up'),
        Stat::make('Bounce rate', '21%')
            ->description('7% decrease')
            ->descriptionIcon('heroicon-m-arrow-trending-down'),
        Stat::make('Average time on page', '3:12')
            ->description('3% increase')
            ->descriptionIcon('heroicon-m-arrow-trending-up'),
    ];
}
```

The `descriptionIcon()` method also accepts a second parameter to put the icon before the description instead of after it:

```php
use Filament\Support\Enums\IconPosition;
use Filament\Widgets\StatsOverviewWidget\Stat;

Stat::make('Unique views', '192.1k')
    ->description('32k increase')
    ->descriptionIcon('heroicon-m-arrow-trending-up', IconPosition::Before)
```

## Changing the color of the stat

You may also give stats a `color()` (`danger`, `gray`, `info`, `primary`, `success` or `warning`):

```php
use Filament\Widgets\StatsOverviewWidget\Stat;

protected function getStats(): array
{
    return [
        Stat::make('Unique views', '192.1k')
            ->description('32k increase')
            ->descriptionIcon('heroicon-m-arrow-trending-up')
            ->color('success'),
        Stat::make('Bounce rate', '21%')
            ->description('7% increase')
            ->descriptionIcon('heroicon-m-arrow-trending-down')
            ->color('danger'),
        Stat::make('Average time on page', '3:12')
            ->description('3% increase')
            ->descriptionIcon('heroicon-m-arrow-trending-up')
            ->color('success'),
    ];
}
```

## Adding extra HTML attributes to a stat

You may also pass extra HTML attributes to stats using `extraAttributes()`:

```php
use Filament\Widgets\StatsOverviewWidget\Stat;

protected function getStats(): array
{
    return [
        Stat::make('Processed', '192.1k')
            ->color('success')
            ->extraAttributes([
                'class' => 'cursor-pointer',
                'wire:click' => "\$dispatch('setStatusFilter', { filter: 'processed' })",
            ]),
        // ...
    ];
}
```

In this example, we are deliberately escaping the `$` in `$dispatch()` since this needs to be passed directly to the HTML, it is not a PHP variable.

## Adding a chart to a stat

You may also add or chain a `chart()` to each stat to provide historical data. The `chart()` method accepts an array of data points to plot:

```php
use Filament\Widgets\StatsOverviewWidget\Stat;

protected function getStats(): array
{
    return [
        Stat::make('Unique views', '192.1k')
            ->description('32k increase')
            ->descriptionIcon('heroicon-m-arrow-trending-up')
            ->chart([7, 2, 10, 3, 15, 4, 17])
            ->color('success'),
        // ...
    ];
}
```

## Live updating stats (polling)

By default, stats overview widgets refresh their data every 5 seconds.

To customize this, you may override the `$pollingInterval` property on the class to a new interval:

```php
protected static ?string $pollingInterval = '10s';
```

Alternatively, you may disable polling altogether:

```php
protected static ?string $pollingInterval = null;
```

## Disabling lazy loading

By default, widgets are lazy-loaded. This means that they will only be loaded when they are visible on the page.

To disable this behavior, you may override the `$isLazy` property on the widget class:

```php
protected static bool $isLazy = false;
```
