Installation ------------ [](#installation) You can install the package via composer: ``` composer require dutchcodingcompany/csv-collection ``` Usage ----- [](#usage) You may create a collection using the `new` keyword or the `make` method. ``` CsvCollection::make(); ``` This gives you access to all [Collection](https://laravel.com/docs/8.x/collections#available-methods)and [Lazy Collection](https://laravel.com/docs/8.x/collections#lazy-collection-methods) methods. ### Open [](#open) To open a file and load it's content into a new collection you may use the `open` method on the collection. ``` use DutchCodingCompany\CsvCollection\CsvCollection; CsvCollection::make() ->open('path/to/file.csv') ->count(); ``` ### Save [](#save) To save the collection items to a file you may use the `save` method on the collection. ``` use DutchCodingCompany\CsvCollection\CsvCollection; CsvCollection::make(static function () { yield [ 'key' => 'value', ]; }) ->save('path/to/file.csv'); ``` #### Model exports [](#model-exports) When exporting models a memory efficient method is to lazily iterate through the models and `yield` it's content. ``` use DutchCodingCompany\CsvCollection\CsvCollection; CsvCollection::make(static function () { $models = Model::query()->lazy(); foreach ($models as $model){ yield $model->only([ 'id', // ]); } }) ->save('path/to/file.csv'); ``` ### Options [](#options) The following options are available to suit your needs: - `header`, default: `true` - `delimiter`, default: `,` - `enclosure`, default: `"` - `escape`, default: `\\` These options could be passed to the `open` and `save` methods, be set using the `options` method, or be set as the global default using the static `defaults` method. The delimiter can be detected for a file by using the `detectDelimiter` method like this: ``` CsvCollection::detectDelimiter($path); ``` #### Header [](#header) When using a header, lines will contain an associated array. Otherwise, lines will contain an indexed array. ``` // Without header [ 0 => 'John', 1 => 'Doe', ] // With header [ 'first_name' => 'John', 'last_name' => 'Doe', ] ``` ***Note**: When saving a collection to a file the keys of the first element in the collection will be used as the header.* Testing ------- [](#testing) ``` composer test ``` Credits ------- [](#credits) - [Bjorn Voesten](https://github.com/bjornvoesten) - [Dutch Coding Company](https://github.com/dutchcodingcompany) - [All contributors](https://github.com/dutchcodingcompany/csv-collection/graphs/contributors) License ------- [](#license) The MIT License (MIT).
