What is it?

Laravel Excel is a PHP package that wraps PhpSpreadsheet with Laravel-friendly classes for spreadsheet exports and imports. Developers define an export or import class and let the package handle the file generation or parsing, instead of working with the lower-level PhpSpreadsheet API directly.

On the export side, it can turn Laravel collections into Excel or CSV files, export Eloquent queries with automatic chunking, and render Blade views containing HTML tables as spreadsheets. Large exports can be queued so they run in the background.

On the import side, it reads workbooks and worksheets into Eloquent models using chunk reading and batch inserts, and large files can be processed as queued chunks. The package is licensed under MIT, with the author requesting a postcard as Postcardware.
