🚀 5 minute quick start

💪 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');
    }
}

📄 Find your users.xlsx in your downloads folder!
