What is the process of bringing in multiple rows from an excel sheet in Laravel?

edit

To bring in multiple rows from an excel sheet in Laravel, you can follow these steps:

1. Install the Maatwebsite/Laravel-Excel package using composer.

composer require maatwebsite/excel

1. Create a new controller to handle the import process.

2. In the controller, add the following code to import the Excel file and retrieve the data from the first sheet:

use Maatwebsite\Excel\Facades\Excel;

public function import()
{
    $data = Excel::toArray(new YourImport(), request()->file('file'));

    // Do something with the data
}

Note: Replace YourImport with the name of the class that extends the FromArray or FromCollection interface in Laravel Excel.

1. In the view, add a file input to upload the Excel file:

<form method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data" action="{{ route('import') }}">
    @csrf
    <input type="file" name="file">
    <button type="submit">Import</button>
</form>

1. Finally, add a route to the import method in the controller:

Route::post('import', 'YourController@import')->name('import');
