Laravel Excel brings the power of PHPOffice's PHPExcel to Laravel 5 with a touch of the Laravel Magic. It includes features like: importing Excel and CSV to collections, exporting models, array's and views to Excel, importing batches of files and importing a file by a config file.

Import into Laravel Collections
Export Blade views to Excel and CSV with optional CSS styling
Batch imports
A lot of optional config settings
Easy cell caching
Chunked and queued importer
ExcelFile method injections
Editing existing Excel files
Advanced import by config files
and many more...

Excel::create('Laravel Excel', function($excel) {

    $excel->sheet('Excel sheet', function($sheet) {

        $sheet->setOrientation('landscape');

    });

})->export('xls');

Installation

Require this package in your composer.json and update composer. This will download the package and PHPExcel of PHPOffice.

composer require "maatwebsite/excel:~2.1.0"

In Laravel 5.5 or higher, this package will be automatically discovered and you can safely skip the following two steps.

If using Laravel 5.4 or lower, after updating composer, add the ServiceProvider to the providers array in config/app.php

Maatwebsite\Excel\ExcelServiceProvider::class,

You can use the facade for shorter code; if using Laravel 5.4 or lower, add this to your aliases:

'Excel' => Maatwebsite\Excel\Facades\Excel::class,

The class is bound to the ioC as excel

$excel = App::make('excel');

To publish the config settings in Laravel 5 use:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Maatwebsite\Excel\ExcelServiceProvider"

This will add an excel.php config file to your config folder.
