#Batch import

Import a folder

To import an entire folder (only xls, xlsx and csv files will be imported), set the folder as the first parameter.

Excel::batch('app/storage/uploads', function($rows, $file) {

    // Explain the reader how it should interpret each row,
    // for every file inside the batch
    $rows->each(function($row) {

        // Example: dump the firstname
        dd($row->firstname);

    });

});

Import multiple files

It's also possible to provide an array of files to import.

$files = array(
    'file1.xls',
    'file2.xls'
);

Excel::batch($files, function($rows, $file) {

});

Import a folder and multiple sheets

When your files contain multiple sheets, you should also loop the sheets

Excel::batch('app/storage/uploads', function($sheets, $file) {

    $sheets->each(function($sheet) {

    });

});
