Generate a document from an XLSX (Excel) template

One-dimensional table (basic usage)

template1.xlsx:

$data = [
    // scalar
    'vat' => 'No',
    'total' => [
        'price' => 2004.14,
        'qty' => 3,
    ],

    // one-dimensional table
    'products' => [
        [
            'name' => 'Product #1',
            'price' => 989,
            'qty' => 1,
            'date' => new \DateTime('2022-03-30'),
        ],
        [
            'name' => 'Product #2',
            'price' => 1015.14,
            'qty' => 2,
            'date' => new \DateTime('2022-03-31'),
        ],
    ],
];

// Save to the file
(new \AnourValar\Office\SheetsService())
    ->generate(
        'template1.xlsx', // template filename
        $data // markers
    )
    ->saveAs(
        'generated_document.xlsx', // filename
        \AnourValar\Office\Format::Xlsx // save format
    );

// Output to the browser
header('Content-type: ' . \AnourValar\Office\Format::Xlsx->contentType());
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="generated_document.xlsx"');
echo (new \AnourValar\Office\SheetsService())
    ->generate('template1.xlsx', $data)
    ->save(\AnourValar\Office\Format::Xlsx);

// Available formats:

The same template with empty data

Two-dimensional table

    ],
];

    'bar' => function (SheetsInterface $driver, $column, $row) {
        $driver->insertImage('logo.png', $cell, ['width' => 100, 'offset_y' => -45]);

    }
];

        return $value;
    })
    ->generate(
        'template3.ods', // ods template
        $data,
        true // cells auto format instead of template setup
    )
    ->saveAs('generated_document.xlsx');

Dynamic template overview

generated_document.xlsx:

Merge (union) few documents to a single file

$dataA = ['foo' => 'hello'];
$dataB = ['foo' => 'world'];

$documentA = (new \AnourValar\Office\SheetsService())->generate('template.xlsx', $dataA);
$documentB = (new \AnourValar\Office\SheetsService())->generate('template.xlsx', $dataB);

$mixer = new \AnourValar\Office\Mixer();
$mixer($documentA, $documentB)->saveAs('generated_document.xlsx');

Access the PhpSpreadsheet directly (default driver)

(new \AnourValar\Office\SheetsService())
    ->hookBefore(function (\AnourValar\Office\Drivers\PhpSpreadsheetDriver $driver, array &$data) {
        $spreadsheet = $driver->spreadsheet;

        // @see \PhpOffice\PhpSpreadsheet\Spreadsheet
        $spreadsheet->createSheet()->setTitle('Foo Bar'); // adding a new Worksheet
    })
    ->generate('template.xlsx', [])
    ->saveAs('generated_document.xlsx');

Generate a document from an DOCX (Word) template

(new \AnourValar\Office\DocumentService)
    ->generate('template.docx', ['foo' => 'bar'])
    ->saveAs('generated_document.docx');

template.docx:

Export table (Grid)

Simple usage

$data = [
    ['William', 3000],
    ['James', 4000],
    ['Sveta', 5000],
];

// Save as XLSX (Excel)
(new \AnourValar\Office\GridService())
    ->generate(
        ['Name', 'Sales'], // headers
        $data // data
    )
    ->saveAs('generated_grid.xlsx');

generated_grid.xlsx:

Advanced usage (generators)

$headers = [
    ['title' => 'Name', 'width' => 30],
    ['title' => 'Sales'],
];

$data = function () {
    yield ['name' => 'William', 'sales' => 3000];
    yield ['name' => 'James', 'sales' => 4000];
    yield ['name' => 'Sveta', 'sales' => 5000];
};

// Save as XLSX (Excel)
(new \AnourValar\Office\GridService())
    ->hookHeader(function (GridInterface $driver, mixed $header, $key, $column) {
        if (isset($header['width'])) {
            $driver->setWidth($column, $header['width']); // column with fixed width
        } else {
            $driver->autoWidth($column); // column with auto width
        }

        return $header['title'];
    })
    ->hookRow(function (GridInterface $driver, mixed $row, $key) {
        return [
            $row['name'],
            $row['sales'],
        ];
    })
    ->hookAfter(function (
        GridInterface $driver,
        string $headersRange,
        string $dataRange,
        string $totalRange,
        array $columns
    ) {
        $driver->setSheetTitle('Foo');

        $driver->setStyle(
            $headersRange, // A1:B1
            ['bold' => true, 'background_color' => 'EEEEEE']
        );

        $driver->setStyle(
            $totalRange, // A1:B4
            ['borders' => true, 'align' => 'left']
        );
    })
    ->generate($headers, $data)
    ->saveAs('generated_grid.xlsx');

Performance

By default, GridService uses PhpSpreadsheetDriver which gives a lot of features and flexability. The only cons are performance and memory consumtion.

ZipDriver as an alternative is simpler, but much more faster:

$data = [
    ['William', 3000],
    ['James', 4000],
    ['Sveta', 5000],
];

// Save as XLSX (Excel)
(new \AnourValar\Office\GridService(new \AnourValar\Office\Drivers\ZipDriver()))
    ->generate(['Name', 'Sales'], $data)
    ->saveAs('generated_grid.xlsx');
