[![Build Status](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/b69d771c452ea2cfb32f130d7afaeab5eb46277cfbf743110d655fd73b8d7508/68747470733a2f2f7472617669732d63692e6f72672f75736d616e68616c616c69742f6c6172616373762e7376673f6272616e63683d6d6173746572)](https://travis-ci.org/usmanhalalit/laracsv) Basic usage ----------- [](#basic-usage) ``` $users = User::get(); // All users $csvExporter = new \Laracsv\Export(); $csvExporter->build($users, ['email', 'name'])->download(); ``` And a proper CSV file will be downloaded with `email` and `name` fields. Installation ------------ [](#installation) Just run this on your terminal: ``` composer require "usmanhalalit/laracsv:1.*@dev" ``` and you should be good to go. Full Documentation ------------------ [](#full-documentation) - [Build CSV](#build-csv) - [Output Options](#output-options) - [Download](#download) - [Custom Headers](#custom-headers) - [Modify or Add Values](#modify-or-add-values) - [Add fields and values](#add-fields-and-values) - [Model Relationships](#model-relationships) ### Build CSV [](#build-csv) `$exporter->build($modelCollection, $fields)` takes two parameters. First one is the model (collection of models), and seconds one takes the field names you want to export. ``` $csvExporter->build(User::get(), ['email', 'name', 'created_at']); ``` ### Output Options [](#output-options) #### Download [](#download) To get file downloaded to the browser: ``` $csvExporter->download(); ``` You can provide a filename if you wish: ``` $csvExporter->download('active_users.csv'); ``` You can also suppress the first line(heading): ``` $csvExporter->build(User::get(), ['email', 'name', 'created_at'], false); ``` If no filename is given a filename with date-time will be generated. #### Advanced Outputs [](#advanced-outputs) LaraCSV uses [League CSV](http://csv.thephpleague.com/). You can do what League CSV is able to do. You can get the underlying League CSV instance by calling: ``` $csv = $csvExporter->getCsv(); ``` And then you can do several things like: ``` $csv->toHTML(); // To output the CSV as an HTML table $csv->jsonSerialize()(); // To turn the CSV in to an array $csv = (string) $csv; // To get the CSV as string echo $csv; // To print the CSV ``` For more information please check [League CSV documentation](http://csv.thephpleague.com/). ### Custom Headers [](#custom-headers) Above code example will generate a CSV with headers email, name, created\_at and corresponding rows after. If you want to change the header with a custom label just pass it as array value: ``` $csvExporter->build(User::get(), ['email', 'name' => 'Full Name', 'created_at' => 'Joined']); ``` Now `name` column will show the header `Full Name` but it will still take values from `name` field of the model. ### Modify or Add Values [](#modify-or-add-values) There is a hook which is triggered before processing a database row. For example, if you want to change the date format you can do so. ``` $csvExporter = new \Laracsv\Export(); $users = User::get(); // Register the hook before building $csvExporter->beforeEach(function ($user) { $user->created_at = date('f', strtotime($user->created_at)); }); $csvExporter->build($users, ['email', 'name' => 'Full Name', 'created_at' => 'Joined']); ``` **Note:** If a `beforeEach` callback returns `false` then the entire row will be excluded from the CSV. It can come handy to filter some rows. #### Add fields and values [](#add-fields-and-values) You may also add fields that don't exists in a database table add values on the fly: ``` // The notes field doesn't exist so values for this field will be blank by default $csvExporter->beforeEach(function ($user) { // Now notes field will have this value $user->notes = 'Add your notes'; }); $csvExporter->build($users, ['email', 'notes']); ``` ### Model Relationships [](#model-relationships) You can also add fields in the CSV from related database tables, given the model has relationships defined. This will get the product title and the related category's title (one to one): ``` $csvExporter->build($products, ['title', 'category.title']); ``` You may also tinker relation things as you wish with hooks: ``` $products = Product::with('categories')->where('order_count', '>', 10)->orderBy('order_count', 'desc')->get(); $fields = ['id', 'title','original_price' => 'Market Price', 'category_ids',]; $csvExporter = new \Laracsv\Export(); $csvExporter->beforeEach(function ($product) { $product->category_ids = implode(', ', $product->categories->pluck('id')->toArray()); }); ``` Road Map -------- [](#road-map) - Import CSV ### Health Score 27 — LowBetter than 49% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity8 Limited adoption so far Community11 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity59 Maturing project, gaining track record Bus Factor2 2 contributors hold 50%+ of commits How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
