Laravel Excel Integration

Laravel Excel is the default package used when exporting DataTables to Excel and CSV.

Using Export Class

1. Create an export class php artisan make:export UsersExport
2. Update the generated export class and extend DataTablesCollectionExport

namespace App\Exports;

use Yajra\DataTables\Exports\DataTablesCollectionExport;

class UsersExport extends DataTablesCollectionExport
{

}

3. Update your UsersDataTable class and set protected $exportClass = UsersExport::class

class UsersDataTable extends DataTable
{
    protected $exportClass = UsersExport::class;

4. Update your export class as needed. See official package docs: https://docs.laravel-excel.com/3.1/exports/collection.html

Example Export Class

namespace App\Exports;

use Maatwebsite\Excel\Concerns\WithMapping;
use Yajra\DataTables\Exports\DataTablesCollectionExport;

class UsersExport extends DataTablesCollectionExport implements WithMapping
{
    public function headings(): array
    {
        return [
            'Name',
            'Email',
        ];
    }

    public function map($row): array
    {
        return [
            $row['name'],
            $row['email'],
        ];
    }
}
