Laravel Excel brings the power of PHPOffice's PHPExcel to Laravel 5 with a touch of the Laravel Magic. It includes features like: importing Excel and CSV to collections, exporting models, array's and views to Excel, importing batches of files and importing a file by a config file.

- Import into Laravel **Collections**
- Export **Blade views** to Excel and CSV with optional CSS styling
- **Batch** imports
- A lot of optional **config settings**
- Easy **cell caching**
- Chunked and queued importer
- ExcelFile method injections
- Editing existing Excel files
- **Advanced import** by config files
- and many more...

---

```
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 "maatwebsite/excel:~2.1.0"
```

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.
