Bowphp CSV

A tiny helper to export and import Eloquent-like models to/from CSV using league/csv.

Installation

composer require bowphp/csv

Quick start

1. Add the Bow\Csv\Csv trait to your model:

use Bow\Csv\Csv;
use Bow\Database\Barry\Model;

class User extends Model
{
    use Csv;
}

2. Export a CSV string (optionally restrict columns):

$user = new User();
$user->setCsvHeaders(['id', 'name']);

$csv = $user->toCsv(); // returns the CSV as a string

3. Import rows from a CSV file into your model:

$user = new User();
$user->importCsv('/path/to/file.csv', ['id', 'name', 'email']);

Helper functions are also available:

app_export_model_to_csv(new User(), null, ['id', 'name']);
app_import_csv_to_model(new User(), '/path/to/file.csv', ['id', 'name', 'email']);
