Excel Serialization
===================

[](#excel-serialization)

This module provides an Excel encoder for the Drupal 8 Serialization API. This enables the XLS format to be used for data output (and potentially input, eventually). For example:

- Drupal 8's REST module can return data in XLS format.
- Views can output XLS data via a 'REST Export' view, or a [Data Export](https://www.drupal.org/project/views_data_export) view.
- Module developers can leverage XLS as a format when using the Serialization API.

#### Installation

[](#installation)

- Download and install [PHPOffice/SpreadSheet](https://github.com/PHPOffice/PhpSpreadsheet). The preferred installation method is to [use Composer](https://www.drupal.org/node/2404989).
- Enable the `xls_serialization` module.

#### Creating an XLS view

[](#creating-an-xls-view)

1. Create a new view
2. Add an *Excel Export* display for more formatting options. Otherwise add a *REST Export* view.
3. Check either 'xlsx' or 'xls' for the accepted request formats under `Format -> Excel export -> Settings`.
4. Add desired fields to the view.
5. Add a path, and optionally, a filename pattern.
