$chart = Chart::make()
               ->pie()
               ->title('My Cool Chart')
               ->data([1, 2, 3, 4, 5])
               ->labels(['One', 'Two', 'Three', 'Four', 'Five'])
               ->useChartJs()
               ->build();
```

### Builder Methods

- `bar()`: Use this method to specify that you want to create a bar chart.
- `line()`: Use this method to specify that you want to create a line chart.
- `title(string $title)`: Use this method to set the title of the chart.
- `data(array $data)`: Use this method to set the data for the chart. The data should be an array of numbers.
- `labels(array $labels)`: Use this method to set the labels for the chart data. The labels should be an array of strings.
- `useHighCharts()`: Use this method to specify that you want to use the HighCharts library to render the chart.
