The Maatwebsite\Excel\ExcelServiceProvider is auto-discovered and registered by default.

If you want to register it yourself, add the ServiceProvider in config/app.php:

'providers' => [
    /*
     * Package Service Providers...
     */
    Maatwebsite\Excel\ExcelServiceProvider::class,
]

The Excel facade is also auto-discovered.

If you want to add it manually, add the Facade in config/app.php:

'aliases' => [
    ...
    'Excel' => Maatwebsite\Excel\Facades\Excel::class,
]
