Fast Excel Package for Laravel

Fast Excel is a Laravel package for importing and exporting spreadsheets. It provides an elegant wrapper around Spout—a PHP package to read and write spreadsheet files in a quick and scalable way. It is capable of processing large files, all while keeping the memory usage low.

Here’s an example of exporting models or collections to an Excel file:

 1use Rap2hpoutre\FastExcel\FastExcel;
 2use App\User;
 3 
 4// Export a User model
 5$users = User::all();
 6(new FastExcel($users))->export('file.xlsx');
 7 
 8// Export a collection Collection
 9$list = collect([
10    [ 'id' => 1, 'name' => 'Jane' ],
11    [ 'id' => 2, 'name' => 'John' ],
12]);
13 
14(new FastExcel($list))->export('file.xlsx');

You can use the download method to force the user’s browser to download a file:

1return (new FastExcel(User::all()))->download('file.xlsx');

You can also import and export multiple sheets:

1$sheets = new SheetCollection([
2    User::all(),
3    Project::all()
4]);
5(new FastExcel($sheets))->export('file.xlsx');
