Fast Excel import/export for Laravel, thanks to Spout. See benchmarks below.
Install via composer:
composer require rap2hpoutre/fast-excel
Export a Model to .xlsx
file:
use Rap2hpoutre\FastExcel\FastExcel;
use App\User;
// Load users
$users = User::all();
// Export all users
(new FastExcel($users))->export('file.xlsx');
Export a Model or a Collection:
$list = collect([
[ 'id' => 1, 'name' => 'Jane' ],
[ 'id' => 2, 'name' => 'John' ],
]);
(new FastExcel($list))->export('file.xlsx');
Export xlsx
, ods
and csv
:
$invoices = App\Invoice::orderBy('created_at', 'DESC')->get();
(new FastExcel($invoices))->export('invoices.csv');
Export only some attributes specifying columns names:
(new FastExcel(User::all()))->export('users.csv', function ($user) {
return [
'Email' => $user->email,
'First Name' => $user->firstname,
'Last Name' => strtoupper($user->lastname),
];
});
Download (from a controller method):
return (new FastExcel(User::all()))->download('file.xlsx');
import
returns a Collection:
$collection = (new FastExcel)->import('file.xlsx');
Import a csv
with specific delimiter, enclosure characters and "gbk" encoding.
$collection = (new FastExcel)->configureCsv(';', '#', '\n', 'gbk')->import('file.csv');
Import and insert to database:
$users = (new FastExcel)->import('file.xlsx', function ($line) {
return User::create([
'name' => $line['Name'],
'email' => $line['Email']
]);
});
You may use FastExcel with the optional Facade. Add the following line to config/app.php
under the aliases
key.
'FastExcel' => Rap2hpoutre\FastExcel\Facades\FastExcel::class,
Using the Facade, you will not have access to the constructor. You may set your export data using the data
method.
$list = collect([
[ 'id' => 1, 'name' => 'Jane' ],
[ 'id' => 2, 'name' => 'John' ],
]);
FastExcel::data($list)->export('file.xlsx');
FastExcel provides a convenient global helper to quickly instantiate the FastExcel class anywhere in a Laravel application.
$collection = fastexcel()->import('file.xlsx');
fastexcel($collection)->export('file.xlsx');
Export multiple sheets by creating a SheetCollection
:
$sheets = new SheetCollection([
User::all(),
Project::all()
]);
(new FastExcel($sheets))->export('file.xlsx');
Use index to specify sheet name:
$sheets = new SheetCollection([
'Users' => User::all(),
'Second sheet' => Project::all()
]);
Import multiple sheets by using importSheets
:
$sheets = (new FastExcel)->importSheets('file.xlsx');
You can also import a specific sheet by its number:
$users = (new FastExcel)->sheet(3)->import('file.xlsx');
FastExcel is intended at being Laravel-flavoured Spout: a simple, but elegant wrapper around Spout with the goal of simplifying imports and exports.
It could be considered as a faster (and memory friendly) alternative to Laravel Excel, with many less features. Use it only for very simple tasks.
Tested on a MacBook Pro 2015 2,7 GHz Intel Core i5 16 Go 1867 MHz DDR3. Testing a XLSX export for 10000 lines, 20 columns with random data, 10 iterations, 2018-04-05. Don't trust benchmarks.
Average memory peak usage | Execution time | |
---|---|---|
Laravel Excel | 123.56 M | 11.56 s |
FastExcel | 2.09 M | 2.76 s |
Still, remember that Laravel Excel has many more feature. Please help me improve benchmarks, more tests are coming. Feel free to criticize.
