This package helps with exporting factory generated data and Eloquent collections to CSV or Excel formats. It provides a simple and intuitive way to export your data with support for custom column selection and renaming.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

You can install the package via composer:

```
composer require petersowah/laravel-factory-dumps
```

You can publish the config file with:

```
php artisan vendor:publish --tag="laravel-factory-dumps-config"
```

This is the contents of the published config file:

```
return [
    'path' => env('FACTORY_DUMPS_PATH', __DIR__.'/../workbench/database/dumps'),
];
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

### Basic Usage

[](#basic-usage)

1. Import the `ExportableFactory` trait in your model:

```
use PeterSowah\LaravelFactoryDumps\Traits\ExportableFactory;

class User extends Model
{
    use ExportableFactory;
    // ...
}
```

2. Export factory-generated data:

```
// Export to Excel
$users = User::factory(100)->create()->toExcel();

// Export to CSV
$users = User::factory(100)->create()->toCsv();
```

3. Export Eloquent collections:

```
$users = User::whereNotNull('email_verified_at')->get();
$users->toExcel();
$users->toCsv();
```

### Advanced Usage

[](#advanced-usage)

#### Custom Filenames

[](#custom-filenames)

You can specify custom filenames for your exports:

```
$users = User::factory(100)->create();
$users->toExcel('custom_users.xlsx');
$users->toCsv('custom_users.csv');
```

#### Column Selection and Renaming

[](#column-selection-and-renaming)

The package provides a powerful `pluck` method that allows you to select and rename columns:

```
$users = User::factory(100)->create();

// Select a single column
$users->pluck('name')->toExcel();

// Select multiple columns
$users->pluck(['name', 'email'])->toExcel();

// Select and rename columns
$users->pluck([
    'name' => 'Full Name',
    'email' => 'Email Address',
    'created_at' => 'Registration Date'
])->toExcel();
```

You can also use Laravel's `select` method to specify which columns to export:

```
// Select specific columns and export to CSV
$users = User::factory(5)->create()
    ->select(['full_name', 'email'])
    ->toCsv('users-name-email.csv');

// Select specific columns and export to Excel
$users = User::factory(5)->create()
    ->select(['full_name', 'email'])
    ->toExcel('users-name-email.xlsx');
```

#### Custom Column Selection for Excel

[](#custom-column-selection-for-excel)

You can specify which columns to export to Excel:

```
$users = User::factory(100)->create();
$users->toExcel(null, ['name', 'email', 'created_at']);
```

### File Locations

[](#file-locations)

- CSV files are stored in `database/dumps/csv/`
- Excel files are stored in `storage/app/dumps/excel/` (or `workbench/database/dumps/excel/` during testing)

The default filename is based on the model's table name (e.g., `users.xlsx` or `users.csv`). For non-model data, it defaults to `export.xlsx` or `export.csv`.
