Installation
Export Excel
Export Excel with multiple sheets
Import Excel
Different formats, (*4)
Installation
Use composer to download the package:, (*5)
composer require mohammed-zaki/laravel-excel
Register the service provider in config/app.php adding CyberduckWithSheets\LaravelExcel\ExcelServiceProvider to the provider array., (*6)
Note. If you are on Laravel 4, use CyberduckWithSheets\LaravelExcel\ExcelLegacyServiceProvider, (*7)
Export Excel
Generate and download an excel file
Add, (*8)
use Exporter;
to your controller., (*9)
In your controler function, create a new excel file from an Eloquent collection., (*10)
$excel = Exporter::make('Excel');
$excel->load($yourCollection);
return $excel->stream($yourFileName);
The exporter class is fluent, so you can also write, (*11)
return Exporter::make('Excel')->load($yourCollection)->stream($yourFileName);
The exporter class supports Query builder objects as well, (*12)
$query = DB:table('table')->select('col1','col2');
$excel = Exporter::make('Excel');
$excel->loadQuery($query);
return $excel->stream($yourFileName);
Export Excel with multiple sheets
The exporter class supports Multiple Sheets as follow, (*13)
$excel = Exporter::make('Excel');
$excel->loadToNewSheet($yourCollection, "Sheet Name");
$query = DB:table('table')->select('col1','col2');
$excel->loadQueryToNewSheet($query, "Sheet Name");
return $excel->save($yourFileName);
If you deal with big tables, you can set the chunk size to minimise the memory usage, (*14)
$query = DB:table('table')->select('col1','col2');
$excel = Exporter::make('Excel');
$excel->loadQuery($query);
$excel->setChunk(1000);
return $excel->stream($yourFileName);
Generate and save an excel file
To save the excel file on the server, use the save method., (*15)
return $excel->save($yourFileNameWithPath);
Advanced usage
By default, every element of the Collection becomes a row and every unprotected field of the Model becomes a cell.
No headers row is printed., (*16)
To change this behaviour, create a class extending CyberduckWithSheets\LaravelExcel\Contract\SerialiserInterface, implement the methods getHeaderRow() and getData(Model $data) and set this class on the excel object usint setSerialiser()., (*17)
$serialiser = new CustomSerialiser();
$excel = Exporter::make('Excel');
$excel->load($collection);
$excel->setSerialiser($serialiser);
return $excel->stream($yourFileName);
getHeaderRow() must return an array of string where every element is a cell of the first row. To not print the header row, simply return a void array [].
getData(Model $data) must return an array of string, and every elements is a cell., (*18)
Example, (*19)
namespace App\Serialisers;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use CyberduckWithSheets\LaravelExcel\Contract\SerialiserInterface;
class ExampleSerialiser implements SerialiserInterface
{
public function getData(Model $data)
{
$row = [];
$row[] = $data->field1;
$row[] = $data->relationship->field2;
return $row;
}
public function getHeaderRow()
{
return [
'Field 1',
'Field 2 (from a relationship)'
];
}
}
Import Excel
Add, (*20)
use Importer;
to your controller., (*21)
In your controler function, import an excel file., (*22)
$excel = Importer::make('Excel');
$excel->load($filepath);
$collection = $excel->getCollection();
//dd($collection)
The importer class is fluent, then you can also write, (*23)
return Importer::make('Excel')->getCollection($filepath)->getCollection();
Advanced usage
By default, every row of the first sheet of the excel file becomes an array and the final result is wraped in a Collection (Illuminate\Support\Collection)., (*24)
To import a different sheet, use setSheet($sheet), (*25)
$excel = Importer::make('Excel');
$excel->load($filepath);
$excel->setSheet($sheetNumber);
$collection = $excel->getCollection();
//dd($collection)
To import each row in an Eloquent model, create a class extending CyberduckWithSheets\LaravelExcel\Contract\ParserInterface and implement the methods transform($row)., (*26)
Example, (*27)
namespace App\Parsers;
use App\Models\YourModel;
use CyberduckWithSheets\LaravelExcel\Contract\ParserInterface;
class ExampleSerialiser implements ParserInterface
{
public function transform($row)
{
$model = new YourModel();
$model->field1 = $row[0];
$model->field2 = $row[1];
// We can manunipulate the data before returning the object
$model->field3 = new \Carbon($row[2]);
return $model;
}
}
The package supports ODS and CSV files., (*28)
ODS
$exporter = Exporter::make('OpenOffice');
$importer = Importer::make('OpenOffice');
CSV
$exporter = Exporter::make('Csv');
$importer = Importer::make('Csv');
