I'm trying to import an .xlsx
file in Laravel
version 5.7 using Maatwebsite-excel
version 3.1. What I want to achieve is to skip the first row of the file to avoid importing column headers in my database.
I've tried to use version 2 syntax, calling the skip()
method.
public function voter_import(Request $request)
{
if (empty($request->file('file')->getRealPath()))
{
return back()->with('success','No file selected');
}
else
{
Excel::import(new VotersImport, $request->file('file'))->skip(1);
return response('Import Successful, Please Refresh Page');
}
}
class VotersImport implements ToModel
{
public function model(array $row)
{
return new Voter([
'fname' => $row[0],
'lname' => $row[1],
'phone' => $row[2],
'gender' => $row[3],
'state' => $row[4],
'occupation' => $row[5],
'address' => $row[6],
'vin' => $row[7],
'dob' => $row[8],
'campaign_id' => $row[9],
]);
}
}
error message:
Call to undefined method Maatwebsite\Excel\Excel::skip()
you can implement the StartingRow
use Maatwebsite\Excel\Concerns\WithStartRow;
class VotersImport implements ToModel, WithStartRow
{
/**
* @return int
*/
public function startRow(): int
{
return 2;
}
}
Another option would be to use HeadingRow https://docs.laravel-excel.com/3.1/imports/heading-row.html
