ExcelImportForBackpack adds an `import` operation to [Backpack for Laravel](https://backpackforlaravel.com/) CRUD controllers.

It provides:

- an Import button on the List operation;
- an import screen that reads Excel or CSV headers in the browser;
- automatic header-to-database-column mapping;
- server-side import handling using `maatwebsite/excel`.

Screenshots

Screenshots can be added later. The package is fully usable without published assets.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Prerequisites:

- PHP ZIP extension enabled (`ext-zip`)
- A Backpack v7 compatible Laravel application

```
composer require dan-delvo/excel-import-for-backpack
```

The package uses Laravel auto-discovery, so no manual service provider registration is required.

If Composer reports that `ext-zip` is missing, enable the ZIP extension in your CLI PHP installation and run the command again.

If you want to customize the package views or config, publish them with:

```
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=excel-import-for-backpack
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Add the import operation trait to your CRUD controller:
