LaraCSV – Generate CSV files from your Eloquent models
LaraCSV is a new package from Muhammad Usman that allows you to fluently generate CSV files from your Eloquent Models.
Here is a code sample to show how simple it is to get started:
$users = User::get(); // All users
$csvExporter = new \Laracsv\Export();
$csvExporter->build($users, ['email', 'name'])->download();
If you run this a CSV file will be downloaded with the user information:
email,name
eric@example.com,"Eric L. Barnes"
john@example.com,"John Smith"
bob@example.com,"Bob Jones"
Outside of these basic options it also includes some more powerful features:
Changing a field value
$csvExporter = new \Laracsv\Export();
$users = User::get();
// Register the hook before building
$csvExporter->beforeEach(function ($user) {
$user->created_at = date('f', strtotime($user->created_at));
});
$csvExporter->build($users, ['email', 'name' => 'Full Name', 'created_at' => 'Joined']);
Adding a new column
// The notes field doesn't exist so values for this field will be blank by default
$csvExporter->beforeEach(function ($user) {
// Now notes field will have this value
$user->notes = 'Add your notes';
});
$csvExporter->build($users, ['email', 'notes']);
Eloquent Relationships
This will get the product title and the related category’s title, a one to one relationship:
$products = Products::with('category')->get();
$csvExporter->build($products, ['title', 'category.title']);
See the project on Github and check out its readme for documentation and more examples.
