Provides very easy Excel-Output for Yii1

• works with CArrayDataProvider
• works with CActiveDataProvider
• provides flexible value formatting with PHP closures (see below)

This extension was built because the extension phpoffice/phpexcel is marked as "archived/abandoned" and there was no Yii1 extension as successor to use the recommended PhpSpreadsheet library.

Tested with Yii1 version 1.1.25

Installation ¶

The preferred way to install this extension is through composer.

Either run

php composer.phar require --prefer-dist ondics/yii1spreadsheet

or add

"ondics/spreadsheet": "*"

to the require section of your composer.json.

Usage ¶

$dataProvider = new CArrayDataProvider([
    [
        'name' => 'some name',
        'price' => '9879',
    ],
    [
        'name' => 'name 2',
        'price' => '79',
    ],
]);
$exporter = new Spreadsheet();
$exporter->dataProvider = $dataProvider;
$exporter->columns = [
    'name',
    [
        'attribute' => 'price',
        'header' => 'Price with VAT',
        'value' => function($model,$key,$index,$x) {
            return $model->price * 1.19;
          },
          'visible' => ($model->price  > 20),
];
$exporter->send('myexcelfile.xlsx');

Application Notes ¶

This yii1 extension is a light backport of https://github.com/yii2tech/spreadsheet to Yii1. Some ii2 base classes and freatures are provided with this extensions and can be used during Excel export, e.g.

• In colums a closure can be used as value. This closue differs from the closure in Yii1. See the example above how to use this closure.
• The columns array is backported from Yii2 so see Yii2 docs for information

The send method cannot not use xsendfile to send a file directyle to the browser but has go over memory. This may affect very large Excel exports.
