php-laravelHow can I use PHP XLSXWriter with Laravel?

PHP XLSXWriter is a library that can be used to generate Excel files with PHP. It can be used with Laravel by installing the library with Composer.

composer require phpoffice/phpspreadsheet

Once installed, you can use the library within your Laravel application. Here is an example of how to create a simple spreadsheet with Laravel and XLSXWriter:

use PhpOffice\PhpSpreadsheet\Spreadsheet;
use PhpOffice\PhpSpreadsheet\Writer\Xlsx;

$spreadsheet = new Spreadsheet();
$sheet = $spreadsheet->getActiveSheet();

$sheet->setCellValue('A1', 'Hello World !');

$writer = new Xlsx($spreadsheet);
$writer->save('hello world.xlsx');

This example will create a spreadsheet called hello world.xlsx with the text Hello World ! in cell A1.

The code consists of the following parts:

1. use statements - these import the classes needed from the library
2. new Spreadsheet() - this creates a new spreadsheet object
3. getActiveSheet() - this gets the active sheet from the spreadsheet
4. setCellValue() - this sets the value of a cell in the spreadsheet
5. new Xlsx() - this creates a new XLSXWriter object
6. save() - this saves the spreadsheet to a file

For more information, see the PHP XLSXWriter documentation.
