<?php  use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;  use App\Http\Controllers\ChartJSController;  /*|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| Web Routes|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|| Here is where you can register web routes for your application. These| routes are loaded by the RouteServiceProvider within a group which| contains the "web" middleware group.
