💪 Create an export class in app/Exports
You may do this by using the make:export command.
php artisan make:export UsersExport --model=User

If you prefer to create the export manually, you can create the following in app/Exports:
<?php
namespace App\Exports;
use App\User;
use Maatwebsite\Excel\Concerns\FromCollection;
class UsersExport implements FromCollection
{
public function collection()
{
return User::all();
}
}

🔥 In your controller you can call this export now:
use App\Exports\UsersExport;
use Maatwebsite\Excel\Facades\Excel;
use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
class UsersController extends Controller
{
public function export()
{
return Excel::download(new UsersExport, 'users.xlsx');
}
}
