Tadasei/backend-excel-utils
===========================

[](#tadaseibackend-excel-utils)

This package provides stub utilities for working with [Laravel Excel](https://docs.laravel-excel.com/) or [Fast Excel](https://github.com/rap2hpoutre/fast-excel/). It simplifies the creation of Excel exports by offering pre-built components, including a model for metadata and tracking, as well as traits for custom styles and cell data types.

Features
--------

[](#features)

- **Export Model**:
    Provides metadata and tracking for Excel exports:

    - Export type (linked to the Laravel Excel export class).
    - User requesting the export.
    - Request time and timezone.
    - Processing timestamp (`processed_at`).
    - Integration with [tadasei/backend-file-management](https://github.com/tadasei/backend-file-management) for file metadata.
- **Traits for Laravel Excel Export Classes**:

    - `BoldHeadings`: Adds bold styling to heading cells.
    - `CenteredCells`: Centers the content of cells.
    - `CustomCellDataTypes`: Handles custom cell data types, including the `phoneNumber` type to preserve leading `+` in phone numbers.
- **Artisan Command for Quick Setup**:
    Generates the following stubs ready for customization:

    - **Migration**: `database/migrations/YYYY_MM_DD_HHMMSS_create_exports_table.php`
    - **Model**: `app/Models/Export.php`
    - **Traits**:
        - `app/Traits/BoldHeadings.php`
        - `app/Traits/CenteredCells.php`
        - `app/Traits/CustomCellDataTypes.php`

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

[](#installation)

### Requirements

[](#requirements)

- Laravel (compatible with Laravel Excel and Fast Excel)
- PHP 8.0+
- [tadasei/backend-file-management](https://github.com/tadasei/backend-file-management) `>=1.0.0`

### Steps

[](#steps)

1. Install the package via Composer:

    ```
    composer require tadasei/backend-excel-utils --dev
    ```
2. Run the installation command to generate stubs:

    ```
    php artisan excel-utils:install
    ```

    This will generate:

    - `database/migrations/YYYY_MM_DD_HHMMSS_create_exports_table.php`
    - `app/Models/Export.php`
    - `app/Traits/BoldHeadings.php`
    - `app/Traits/CenteredCells.php`
    - `app/Traits/CustomCellDataTypes.php`

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

### Export Model

[](#export-model)

The `Export` model tracks metadata for your exports and integrates with the `File` model from the `tadasei/backend-file-management` package. Key attributes include:

- **type**: The Laravel Excel export class that triggers the export.
- **user\_id**: The ID of the user who requested the export.
- **requested\_at**: The timestamp of the export request.
- **timezone**: The user's timezone at the time of the request.
- **processed\_at**: A nullable timestamp representing when the export was processed. It remains `null` if the export is pending or in progress.

Feel free to extend or customize the `Export` model to suit your application.

### Traits

[](#traits)

#### 1. **BoldHeadings**

[](#1-boldheadings)

Use the `BoldHeadings` trait in your Laravel Excel export classes to apply bold styling to heading cells. Implement it with Laravel Excel's `styles()` method:

```
use App\Traits\BoldHeadings;

class ExampleExport implements FromCollection, WithStyles
{
    use BoldHeadings;

    // Other methods...
}
```

#### 2. **CenteredCells**

[](#2-centeredcells)

Apply centered alignment to cells using the `CenteredCells` trait:

```
use App\Traits\CenteredCells;

class ExampleExport implements FromCollection, WithStyles
{
    use CenteredCells;

    // Other methods...
}
```

#### 3. **CustomCellDataTypes**

[](#3-customcelldatatypes)

Support custom cell data types with the `CustomCellDataTypes` trait, such as preserving leading `+` in phone numbers:

```
use App\Traits\CustomCellDataTypes;

class ExampleExport implements FromCollection, WithCustomValueBinder
{
    use CustomCellDataTypes;

    // Other methods...
}
```

Customization
-------------

[](#customization)

The generated files are stubs intended as a starting point. You can modify them to better fit your application's requirements.
