Dynamic Importer for Laravel
============================

[](#dynamic-importer-for-laravel)

Backend package for dynamic CSV/XLSX preview and import into any configured database table.

Install
-------

[](#install)

```
composer require chriskelemba/excel-import-laravel
```

Publish config
--------------

[](#publish-config)

```
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=dynamic-importer-config
```

Configure (Optional)
--------------------

[](#configure-optional)

`config/dynamic-importer.php`

```
'discovery' => [
    'allow_unconfigured_tables' => true,
    'allow_tables' => [], // optional allow-list
    'exclude_tables' => ['migrations'],
],

// Optional strict per-table overrides
'tables' => [
    'skills' => [
        'required' => ['name'],
        'unique_by' => ['name'],
        'mode' => 'upsert',
    ],
],
```

MongoDB Support
---------------

[](#mongodb-support)

Install in your Laravel app:

```
composer require mongodb/laravel-mongodb
```

Configure a `mongodb` connection in `config/database.php`, then pass `connection=mongodb` in importer requests.

Notes:

- SQL connections auto-discover table columns/types via schema introspection.
- MongoDB collections are schema-less; prefer defining `columns` in `dynamic-importer.tables`.
- If `columns` are not configured, importer will infer top-level keys from sample documents.

Endpoints
---------

[](#endpoints)

- `GET /imports/databases?connection=mongodb&table=loans`
- `GET /imports/template?table=skills&connection=mysql`
- `POST /imports/preview`
- `POST /imports/run`
- `POST /imports/run-multi`

### Preview payload

[](#preview-payload)

`multipart/form-data`:

- `file`: csv/txt/xlsx
- `table`: configured table name
- `connection` (optional): Laravel DB connection name (e.g. `mysql`, `mongodb`)
- `column_map`: map of `excel_header => db_column`
- `static_values` (optional): fixed values applied to every imported row (e.g. `ctg_id => 2`)
- `header_row` (optional, 1-based)
- `sheet_index` (optional, default `0`)
- `sample_rows` (optional)

### Run payload

[](#run-payload)

`multipart/form-data`:

- `file`
- `table`
- `connection` (optional)
- `column_map`
- `static_values` (optional object)
- `header_row` (optional)
- `sheet_index` (optional)
- `mode` (optional: `insert` or `upsert`)
- `unique_by` (optional array for upsert)

### Multi-table run payload

[](#multi-table-run-payload)

`multipart/form-data`:

- `file`
- `connection` (optional global connection)
- `imports[0][table]`
- `imports[0][column_map][Loan No]`
- `imports[0][column_map][Customer]`
- `imports[0][mode]`
- `imports[0][unique_by][0]`
- `imports[0][static_values][ctg_id]` (optional fixed value / foreign key)
- `imports[1][table]`
- `imports[1][column_map][...]`

### Database preview

[](#database-preview)

Use `GET /imports/databases` to drive UI selectors:

- `connection` (optional): selected database connection (`mysql`, `mongodb`, ...)
- `table` (optional): returns selected table/collection definition including columns

Notes
-----

[](#notes)

- CSV support works out of the box.
- XLSX support requires `phpoffice/phpspreadsheet`.
- XLSX preview grid includes style/merge metadata (`style`, `rowspan`, `colspan`, `skip`) when available from reader output.
- By default, any existing DB table can be imported (dynamic schema discovery).
- Use `discovery.allow_tables` / `discovery.exclude_tables` for restrictions.
