NewExcelFile injections
Following the Laravel 5.0 philosophy with its new awesome FormRequest injections, we introduce you NewExcelFile injections.
NewExcelFile class
This NewExcelFile is a wrapper for a new Excel file. Inside the getFilename() you can declare the wanted filename.
class UserListExport extends \Maatwebsite\Excel\Files\NewExcelFile {
public function getFilename()
{
return 'filename';
}
}
Usage
You can inject these NewExcelFiles inside the __constructor or inside the method (when using Laravel 5.0), in e.g. the controller.
class ExampleController extends Controller {
public function exportUserList(UserListExport $export)
{
// work on the export
return $export->sheet('sheetName', function($sheet)
{
})->export('xls');
}
}
Export Handlers
To decouple your Excel-export code completely from the controller, you can use the export handlers.
class ExampleController extends Controller {
public function exportUserList(UserListExport $export)
{
// Handle the export
$export->handleExport();
}
}
The handleExport() method will dynamically call a handler class which is your class name appended with Handler
class UserListExportHandler implements \Maatwebsite\Excel\Files\ExportHandler {
public function handle(UserListExport $export)
{
// work on the export
return $export->sheet('sheetName', function($sheet)
{
})->export('xls');
}
}
