README

A Laravel package to parse data from CSV files and public Google Sheets using a unified interface.

Features

Parse CSV files or public Google Sheets seamlessly.
Consistent API for both data sources.
Convert to arrays, JSON, or Laravel collections.
Retrieve rows, columns, headers, or specific data points.

Installation

Require the package via Composer:

composer require nebbo.o/laravel-sheet-parser

Usage

1. Parsing CSV files

use NebboO\LaravelSheetParser\SheetParser;

$parser = SheetParser::fromCsv(storage_path('data/example.csv'));

$data = $parser->toArray(); // Convert to array
$json = $parser->toJson(); // Convert to JSON
$collection = $parser->toCollection(); // Convert to collection

2. Parsing Google Sheets

Make sure the sheet is publicly accessible (Anyone with the link can view).

use NebboO\LaravelSheetParser\SheetParser;

$url = 'https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/your-sheet-id/edit?usp=sharing';
$parser = SheetParser::fromGoogleSheet($url);

$data = $parser->toArray(); // Convert to array
$json = $parser->toJson(); // Convert to JSON
$collection = $parser->toCollection(); // Convert to collection

Both CsvParser and GoogleSheetParser implement the same ParserInterface.
