Laravel CSV Export
==================

[](#laravel-csv-export)

Exporter is a package for Laravel that provides a simple csv export of any collection of models.

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

[](#installation)

```
composer require ralphmorris/exporter

```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

In your controller use:

```
use RalphMorris\Exporter\Exporter;
```

Then inside your method a simple call could look like:

```
public function export()
{
    $users = User::get();

    $exporter = new Exporter;

    return $exporter->exportToCsv($users);
}
```

You can also optionally specify the filename by providing a second parameter.

```
return $exporter->exportToCsv($users, 'my-file-name.csv');
```
