Custom CSV Settings ​

By default Laravel Excel uses the defaults from the config (config/excel.php). You can change this by adding the WithCustomCsvSettings interface.

php
namespace App\Imports;

use Maatwebsite\Excel\Concerns\ToModel;
use Maatwebsite\Excel\Concerns\WithCustomCsvSettings;

class UsersImport implements ToModel, WithCustomCsvSettings
{
    public function model(array $row): User|null
    {
        return new User([
            'name' => $row['0'],
            'email' => $row['1']
        ]);
    }
    
    public function getCsvSettings(): array
    {
        return [
            'input_encoding' => 'ISO-8859-1'
        ];
    }
}

Delimiter requires a single character. For Tab use "\t"

php
public function getCsvSettings(): array
{
    return [
        'delimiter' => "\t"
    ];
}
