DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306

composer require maatwebsite/excel

After that, you need to add providers and alias in your project's config/app.php file

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

 

 

 Step 4: Create Some Dummy Records Using Tinker

After adding aliases and providers are adding some dummy records in the database using the below command.

php artisan tinker

factory(App\User::class, 200)->create();

 

 Step 5: Create New Route

Route::get('import_export', 'Import_Export_Controller@importExport');
Route::post('import', 'Import_Export_Controller@import');
Route::get('export', 'Import_Export_Controller@export');

 

Step 6: Add Controller

Create the Import_Export_Controller using the following command.

php artisan make:controller Import_Export_Controller

After running this command we need to add the below code in this controller.

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Exports\ExportUsers;
use App\Imports\ImportUsers;
use Maatwebsite\Excel\Facades\Excel;

class Import_Export_Controller extends Controller
{
     public function importExport()
    {
       return view('import');
    }

    public function export() 
    {
        return Excel::download(new ExportUsers, 'users.xlsx');
    }

    public function import() 
    {
        Excel::import(new ImportUsers, request()->file('file'));
            
        return back();
    }
}

 

 

Step 7: Create Import Class

Now, we will create the import class using the below command.

php artisan make:import ImportUsers --model=User

After running this command you will find ImportUsers.php in this path app\Imports\ImportUsers.php add the below code in this file.

<?php

namespace App\Imports;

use App\User;
use Maatwebsite\Excel\Concerns\ToModel;

class ImportUsers implements ToModel
{
    /**
    * @param array $row
    *
    * @return \Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model|null
    */
    public function model(array $row)
    {
        return new User([
            'name'     => $row[0],
            'email'    => $row[1],
        ]);
    }
}

 

Step 8: Create Export Class

Now, we will create the export class using the below command.

php artisan make:export ExportUsers --model=User

After running this command you will find ExportUsers.php in this path app\Export\ExportUsers.php add the below code in this file.

<?php

namespace App\Exports;

use App\User;
use Maatwebsite\Excel\Concerns\FromCollection;

class ExportUsers implements FromCollection
{
    /**
    * @return \Illuminate\Support\Collection
    */

    public function collection()
    {
        return User::all();
    }
}
