Generate Documents in PHP With an Excel Template

The AnourValar/office package is a PHP +8.1 library to generate documents from XLSX templates. Given a template like the following example template (from the readme):

Using the following code you can generate a document using the template values:

$data = [
    // scalar
    'vat' => 'No',
    'total' => [
        'price' => 2004.14,
        'qty' => 3,
    ],

    // one-dimensional table
    'products' => [
        [
            'name' => 'Product #1',
            'price' => 989,
            'qty' => 1,
            'date' => new \DateTime('2022-03-30'),
        ],
        [
            'name' => 'Product #2',
            'price' => 1015.14,
            'qty' => 2,
            'date' => new \DateTime('2022-03-31'),
        ],
    ],
];

// Save as XLSX (Excel)
(new \AnourValar\Office\TemplateService())
    ->generate(
        'template1.xlsx', // path to template
        $data // input data
    )
    ->saveAs(
        'generated_document.xlsx', // path to save
        \AnourValar\Office\Format::Xlsx // save format
    );

Which produces the following based on the template1.xlsx file:

When saving the document, this package supports multiple save formats, including:

• XLSX
• PDF
• HTML
• ODS

Apart from generating files from XLSX templates, this package also supports:

• Two-dimensional tables
• Image insertion
• Dynamic templates
• Merge multiple documents into a single file
