Sands\Presenter\Excel

Sands Laravel Presenter plugin to respond with MS Excel files: XLSX, XLS and CSV. Files are generated using the awesome Laravel Excel package.

Installation

$ composer require sands/laravel-presenter-excel

Make sure Sands\Presenter has been properly installed.

In config/app.php add Sands\Presenter\Excel\ExcelPresenterServiceProvider after the Sands\Presenter\PresenterServiceProvider inside the providers array:

'providers' => [
     ...
     Sands\Presenter\PresenterServiceProvider::class,
     Sands\Presenter\Excel\ExcelPresenterServiceProvider::class,
     ...
]

Usage

This plugin allows you to easily create XLSX, XLS and CSV exports.

Let's say you have a UsersController with the below method:

public function index()
{
    return $this->present(['users' => User::all()])
        ->setOption('excel.fileName', 'User Reports')
        ->using('blade', 'xlsx', 'csv', 'xls');
}

When the user visits /users?format=xlsx, they will be prompted to download the User Reports.xlsx file.

When the user visits /users?format=xls, they will be prompted to download the User Reports.xls file.

When the user visits /users?format=csv, they will be prompted to download the User Reports.csv file.

Data Format for XLSX and XLS

Data for XLSX and XLS must be a nested collection as per example below:

public function csvData()
{
    return [
        "Sheet 1 Name" => [            
            [row 1 data],
            [row 2 data],
            ...
        ],
        ...
    ];

    ... or ...

    return [
        "Users" => User::all(),
        "Tasks" => Task::all(),
        ...
    ];
}

Data Format for CSV

Data for CSV must be as collection per example below:

public function csvData()
{
    return [
        [row 1 data],
        [row 2 data],
        ...
    ];

    ... or ...

    return User::all();
}

        ->setOption('data.xlsx', 'data')
        ->setOption('excel.fileName', 'User Reports')
