Laravel Excel v2.1.\* for Laravel
---------------------------------

[](#laravel-excel-v21-for-laravel)

This repository is a fork of Maatwebsite/Laravel-Excel to keep using v2 with php >=7.4
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[](#this-repository-is-a-fork-of-maatwebsitelaravel-excel-to-keep-using-v2-with-php-74)

---

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

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

        $sheet->setOrientation('landscape');

    });

})->export('xls');
```

Installation
============

[](#installation)

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

```
composer require "convenia/excel:~2.2.*"
```

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.
