Larave Excel extended
=====================

[](#larave-excel-extended)

Added additional futures to `maatwebsite/excel` package

installation
------------

[](#installation)

```
composer require kahil-raghed/laravel-excel-extended

```

The `LaravelExcelExtended\Providers\FuturesProvider` is auto-discovered and registered by default.

If you want to register it yourself, add the ServiceProvider in config/app.php:

```
'providers' => [
    /*
     * Package Service Providers...
     */
    LaravelExcelExtended\Providers\FuturesProvider::class,
]
```

Futures
-------

[](#futures)

### Max width for auto size columns:

[](#max-width-for-auto-size-columns)

You can set maximum width to prevent columns from scalling too much.

Set for all columns:

```
namespace App\Exports;

use Maatwebsite\Excel\Concerns\ShouldAutoSize;
use LaravelExcelExtended\Concerns\WithMaxidth;

class ProductsExport implements ShouldAutoSize, WithMaxWidth {
    public function maxWidth(){
        return 50;
    }
}
```

Or set for spacific columns:

```
namespace App\Exports;

use Maatwebsite\Excel\Concerns\ShouldAutoSize;
use LaravelExcelExtended\Concerns\WithMaxidth;

class ProductsExport implements ShouldAutoSize, WithMaxWidth {
    public function maxWidth(){
        return [
            'A' => 50,
            'H' => 100
        ];
    }
}
```

### Dropdown lists

[](#dropdown-lists)

You can create interactive drop down lists using `WithDropdown` concern.

```
namespace App\Exports;

use LaravelExcelExtended\Concerns\WithDropdown;

class ProductsExport implements WithDropdown {
    public function dropdown(){
        return [
            'B2:B100' => [ // product size
                'values' => [
                    'XS',
                    'S',
                    'M',
                    'L'
                ]
            ],
        ];
    }
}
```

But this approach has limitations refer [phpspreadsheet data validation](https://phpspreadsheet.readthedocs.io/en/latest/topics/recipes/#setting-data-validation-on-a-cell)

> It is important to remember that any string participating in an Excel formula is allowed to be maximum 255 characters (not bytes). This sets a limit on how many items you can have in the string "Item A,Item B,Item C". Therefore it is normally a better idea to type the item values directly in some cell range, say A1:A3, and instead use, say, `$validation->setFormula1('\'Sheet title\'!$A$1:$A$3')`. Another benefit is that the item values themselves can contain the comma , character itself.

For long lists or list containing values with commas it is better to set stratergy to `Excel::LIST_STRATEGY_HIDDEN_COLUMN`.

it stores allowed values in a hidden column after the data.

```
namespace App\Exports;

use Models\Category;
use LaravelExcelExtended\Concerns\WithDropdown;
use LaravelExcelExtended\Helpers\Excel;

class ProductsExport implements WithDropdown {
    public function dropdown(){
        $categories = Category::all(['id', 'name']);
        return [
            'B2:B100' => [
                'values' => $category->map(fn ($c) => $c->name),
                'strategy' => Excel::LIST_STRATEGY_HIDDEN_COLUMN
            ],
        ];
    }
}
```
