Here, we will learn about laravel 10 import and export CSV and Excel files. We will create and import data to xls, and CSV files,s and also we will import data to the database using CSV or Excel files in laravel 10.

    Using the maatwebsite/excel plugin you can easily import and export CSV and Excel files in laravel 10 examples. For the laravel 10 import csv/excel file using the import class, laravel 10 export csv/excel file uses the export class.

    In this step, we will install laravel 10 using the following command.

composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel laravel_10_import_export_csv_excel

    Now, we will configure the database like database name, username, password, etc. So, open the .env file and fill in all details like below.

DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=laravel_10_import_export
DB_USERNAME=root
DB_PASSWORD=root

    In this step, we will install the maatwebsite/excel Package using the below command.

composer require maatwebsite/excel

    Now, we will add some dummy records in the database using the below command.

php artisan tinker

factory(App\User::class, 100)->create();

    In this step, we will add routes to the web.php file. So, add the following code to that file.

    routes/web.php

<?php
  
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;
  
use App\Http\Controllers\UserController;
  
/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Web Routes
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| Here is where you can register web routes for your application. These
| routes are loaded by the RouteServiceProvider within a group which
| contains the "web" middleware group. Now create something great!
|
*/
 
Route::controller(UserController::class)->group(function(){
    Route::get('import_export', 'importExport');
    Route::post('import', 'import')->name('import');
    Route::get('export', 'export')->name('export');
});

    Now, we will create the UserController using the following command.

php artisan make:controller UserController

    After running this command we need to add the below code in this controller.

    app/Http/Controllers/UserController.php

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Exports\ExportUsers;
use App\Imports\ImportUsers;
use Maatwebsite\Excel\Facades\Excel;
use App\Models\User;

class Import_Export_Controller extends Controller
{
     public function importExport()
    {
       $users = User::get();
  
       return view('import', compact('users'));
    }

    public function export() 
    {
        return Excel::download(new ExportUsers, 'users.xlsx');
    }

    public function import() 
    {
        Excel::import(new ImportUsers, request()->file('file'));
            
        return back();
    }
}

    In this step, we will create the import class using the below command.

php artisan make:import ImportUsers --model=User

    After running this command you will find the ImportUsers.php file.

    app/Imports/ImportUsers.php

<?php

namespace App\Imports;

use App\Models\User;
use Maatwebsite\Excel\Concerns\ToModel;
use Maatwebsite\Excel\Concerns\WithHeadingRow;

class ImportUsers implements ToModel, WithHeadingRow
{
    /**
    * @param array $row
    *
    * @return \Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model|null
    */
    public function model(array $row)
    {
        return new User([
            'name' => $row[0],
            'email' => $row[1],
        ]);
    }
}

    Now, we will create the export class using the below command.

php artisan make:export ExportUsers --model=User

    After running this command you will find the ExportUsers.php file.

    app/Export/ExportUsers.php

<?php

namespace App\Exports;

use App\Models\User;;
use Maatwebsite\Excel\Concerns\FromCollection;
use Maatwebsite\Excel\Concerns\WithHeadings;

class ExportUsers implements FromCollection, WithHeadings
{
   /**
    * @return \Illuminate\Support\Collection
    */
    public function collection()
    {
        return User::select("id", "name", "email")->get();
    }
  
    /**
     * Write code on Method
     *
     * @return response()
     */
    public function headings(): array
    {
        return ["ID", "Name", "Email"];
    }
}

    Now, we will create an import.blade.php file for viewing.

    resources/views/import.blade.php
