Import Export CSV And Excel File In Laravel 8
Step 1: Install Laravel 8 For Import Export
Step 2: Setup Database Configuration
Step 3: Install maatwebsite/excel Package
Step 4: Create Dummy Records Using Tinker
Step 5: Create New Route
Step 6: Add Controller
Step 7: Create Import Class
Step 8: Create Export Class
Step 8: Run Laravel 8 Application
We are creating a new project setup for this example. So, create a new project using the below command.
composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel import_exportIn this step, we will configure a database for the example. So, open the .env file and fill in all details like as below.
DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=database name(import_export_demo)
DB_USERNAME=database username(root)
DB_PASSWORD=database password(NULL)Now, we will install the maatwebsite package using the below command.
composer require maatwebsite/excelAfter that, you need to add providers and alias in your project's config/app.php file
'providers' => [
.......
Maatwebsite\Excel\ExcelServiceProvider::class,
],
'aliases' => [
.......
'Excel' => Maatwebsite\Excel\Facades\Excel::class,
],After adding aliases and providers. we will add some dummy records in the database using the below command.
php artisan tinker
factory(App\User::class, 200)->create();In this step, we are creating a new route in the web.php file.
routes/web.php
Route::get('import_export', 'App\Http\Controllers\[email protected]');
Route::post('import', 'App\Http\Controllers\[email protected]');
Route::get('export', 'App\Http\Controllers\[email protected]');Now, we will create the Import_Export_Controller using the following command.
php artisan make:controller Import_Export_ControllerAfter running this command we need to add the below code in this controller.
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Exports\ExportUsers;
use App\Imports\ImportUsers;
use Maatwebsite\Excel\Facades\Excel;
class Import_Export_Controller extends Controller
{
public function importExport()
{
return view('import');
}
public function export()
{
return Excel::download(new ExportUsers, 'users.xlsx');
}
public function import()
{
Excel::import(new ImportUsers, request()->file('file'));
return back();
}
}Now, we will create the import class using the below command.
php artisan make:import ImportUsers --model=Userapp/Imports/ImportUsers.php
<?php
namespace App\Imports;
use App\User;
use Maatwebsite\Excel\Concerns\ToModel;
class ImportUsers implements ToModel
{
/**
* @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=Userapp/Export/ExportUsers.php
<?php
namespace App\Exports;
use App\User;
use Maatwebsite\Excel\Concerns\FromCollection;
class ExportUsers implements FromCollection
{
/**
* @return \Illuminate\Support\Collection
*/
public function collection()
{
return User::all();
}
}Now create the import.blade.php file for view.
