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`.
