How to import and export csv and excel files in laravel 9

 

In this step, we will install laravel 9 using the following command,

composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel import_export_csv_excel

 

 

In this step, we will configure the database configuration. So, open the .env file and add the details. 

DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=import_export_csv_excel
DB_USERNAME=root
DB_PASSWORD=root

 

Now, we will install the maatwebsite package using the below command.

composer require maatwebsite/excel

 

After adding aliases and providers are adding some dummy records in the database using the below command.

php artisan tinker

factory(App\User::class, 100)->create();

 

 

In this step, we are creating a new route in the web.php file.

routes/web.php

<?php
  
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;
  
use App\Http\Controllers\ImportExportController;
  
/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Web Routes
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| Here is where you can register web routes for your application. These
| routes are loaded by the RouteServiceProvider within a group which
| contains the "web" middleware group. Now create something great!
|
*/
 
Route::controller(ImportExportController::class)->group(function(){
    Route::get('import_export', 'importExport');
    Route::post('import', 'import')->name('import');
    Route::get('export', 'export')->name('export');
});

 

Now, we will create the ImportExportController using the following command.

php artisan make:controller ImportExportController

After running this command we will add the following code to the controller.

App/Http/Controllers/ImportExportController

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Exports\ExportUsers;
use App\Imports\ImportUsers;
use Maatwebsite\Excel\Facades\Excel;

class ImportExportController extends Controller
{
     public function importExport()
    {
       return view('import');
    }

    public function export() 
    {
        return Excel::download(new ExportUsers, 'users.xlsx');
    }

    public function import() 
    {
        Excel::import(new ImportUsers, request()->file('file'));
            
        return back();
    }
}

 

 

Now, we will create the import class using the below command.

php artisan make:import ImportUsers --model=User

After running this command you will find the ImportUsers.php file.

app\Imports\ImportUsers.php

<?php

namespace App\Imports;

use App\User;
use Maatwebsite\Excel\Concerns\ToModel;

class ImportUsers implements ToModel
{
    /**
    * @param array $row
    *
    * @return \Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model|null
    */
    public function model(array $row)
    {
        return new User([
            'name'     => $row[0],
            'email'    => $row[1],
        ]);
    }
}

 

Now, we will create the export class using the below command.

php artisan make:export ExportUsers --model=User

After running this command you will find the ExportUsers.php file.

app\Export\ExportUsers.php

<?php

namespace App\Exports;

use App\User;
use Maatwebsite\Excel\Concerns\FromCollection;

class ExportUsers implements FromCollection
{
    /**
    * @return \Illuminate\Support\Collection
    */

    public function collection()
    {
        return User::all();
    }
}

 

 

Now, we will create the import.blade.php file.

resources/views/import.blade.php
