It also supports reading data from multiple sheets within an Excel file. Installation ------------ [](#installation) You can install the package via Composer: ``` composer require fersot/excel-to ``` Usage ----- [](#usage) ### JSON Conversion [](#json-conversion) To convert an Excel file to JSON format, use the `json` method of the `ExcelTo` class: ``` use Fersot\ExcelTo\ExcelTo; $jsonData = ExcelTo::json('path/to/your/excel_file.xlsx'); ``` This will return a JSON-encoded string representing the Excel data. If the Excel file contains multiple sheets, the data will be organized by sheet names. ### Collection Conversion [](#collection-conversion) To convert an Excel file to a Laravel Collection, use the `collection` method of the `ExcelTo` class: ``` use Fersot\ExcelTo\ExcelTo; $collection = ExcelTo::collection('path/to/your/excel_file.xlsx'); ``` This will return a Laravel Collection containing the Excel data. When multiple sheets are present, each sheet's data will be a collection keyed by the sheet name. ### Array Conversion [](#array-conversion) To convert an Excel file to a PHP Array, use the `array` method of the `ExcelTo` class: ``` use Fersot\ExcelTo\ExcelTo; $arrayData = ExcelTo::array('path/to/your/excel_file.xlsx'); ``` This will return a PHP array containing the Excel data. Similar to JSON and Collection, multiple sheets will be keyed by their names. Example ------- [](#example) ``` use Fersot\ExcelTo\ExcelTo; // Convert Excel to JSON $jsonData = ExcelTo::json('path/to/your/excel_file.xlsx'); // Convert Excel to Collection $collection = ExcelTo::collection('path/to/your/excel_file.xlsx'); // Convert Excel to Array $arrayData = ExcelTo::array('path/to/your/excel_file.xlsx'); ``` Requirements ------------ [](#requirements) - PHP >= 8.1 - Laravel >= 8.x - PhpSpreadsheet >= 1.20 Author ------ [](#author) - **Hember Colmenares** - ([Github](https://github.com/fersot)) Contributing ------------ [](#contributing) Contributions are welcome!
