Installation
Add package to your composer:
composer require jimmyjs/laravel-report-generator
If you are running Laravel > 5.5 that's all you need to do. If you are using Laravel < 5.5 add the ServiceProvider to the providers array in config/app.php
Jimmyjs\ReportGenerator\ServiceProvider::class,
Optionally, you can add this to your aliases array in config/app.php
'PdfReport' => Jimmyjs\ReportGenerator\Facades\PdfReportFacade::class,
'ExcelReport' => Jimmyjs\ReportGenerator\Facades\ExcelReportFacade::class,
'CSVReport' => Jimmyjs\ReportGenerator\Facades\CSVReportFacade::class,
Optionally, You can publish the config file (then it will be available in config/report-generator.php)
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Jimmyjs\ReportGenerator\ServiceProvider"
If you want to generate a pdf report, please install either dompdf / snappy pdf.
This package will automatically use snappy pdf. If you want to use dompdf then please change config/report-generator.php:
return [
'flush' => false,
'pdfLibrary' => 'dompdf'
];
For better speed on generating pdf report, I recommend you to use laravel snappy package. To using laravel snappy, you should install wkhtmltopdf to work with this package (Jump to wkhtmltopdf installation)
Example Display PDF Code
use PdfReport;
public function displayReport(Request $request)
{
$fromDate = $request->input('from_date');
$toDate = $request->input('to_date');
$sortBy = $request->input('sort_by');
$title = 'Registered User Report'; // Report title
$meta = [ // For displaying filters description on header
'Registered on' => $fromDate . ' To ' . $toDate,
'Sort By' => $sortBy
];
$queryBuilder = User::select(['name', 'balance', 'registered_at']) // Do some querying..
->whereBetween('registered_at', [$fromDate, $toDate])
->orderBy($sortBy);
$columns = [ // Set Column to be displayed
'Name' => 'name',
'Registered At', // if no column_name specified, this will automatically seach for snake_case of column name (will be registered_at) column from query result
'Total Balance' => 'balance',
'Status' => function($result) { // You can do if statement or any action do you want inside this closure
return ($result->balance > 100000) ? 'Rich Man' : 'Normal Guy';
}
];
// Generate Report with flexibility to manipulate column class even manipulate column value (using Carbon, etc).
return PdfReport::of($title, $meta, $queryBuilder, $columns)
->editColumn('Registered At', [ // Change column class or manipulate its data for displaying to report
'displayAs' => function($result) {
return $result->registered_at->format('d M Y');
},
'class' => 'left'
])
->editColumns(['Total Balance', 'Status'], [ // Mass edit column
'class' => 'right bold'
])
->showTotal([ // Used to sum all value on specified column on the last table (except using groupBy method). 'point' is a type for displaying total with a thousand separator
'Total Balance' => 'point' // if you want to show dollar sign ($) then use 'Total Balance' => '$'
])
->limit(20) // Limit record to be showed
->stream(); // other available method: store('path/to/file.pdf') to save to disk, download('filename') to download pdf / make() that will producing DomPDF / SnappyPdf instance so you could do any other DomPDF / snappyPdf method such as stream() or download()
}Note: For downloading to excel / CSV, just change PdfReport facade to ExcelReport / CSVReport facade with no more modifications
Data Manipulation
$columns = [
'Name' => 'name',
'Registered At' => 'registered_at',
'Total Balance' => 'balance',
'Status' => function($customer) { // You can do data manipulation, if statement or any action do you want inside this closure
return ($customer->balance > 100000) ? 'Rich Man' : 'Normal Guy';
}
];Will produce a same result with:
$columns = [
'Name' => function($customer) {
return $customer->name;
},
'Registered At' => function($customer) {
return $customer->registered_at;
},
'Total Balance' => function($customer) {
return $customer->balance;
},
'Status' => function($customer) { // You can do if statement or any action do you want inside this closure
return ($customer->balance > 100000) ? 'Rich Man' : 'Normal Guy';
}
];Report Output
With this manipulation, you could do some eager loading relation like:
$post = Post::with('comments')->where('active', 1);
$columns = [
'Post Title' => function($post) {
return $post->title;
},
'Slug' => 'slug',
'Latest Comment' => function($post) {
return $post->comments->first()->body;
}
];Example Code With Group By
Or, you can total all records by group using groupBy method
...
// Do some querying..
$queryBuilder = User::select(['name', 'balance', 'registered_at'])
->whereBetween('registered_at', [$fromDate, $toDate])
->orderBy('registered_at', 'ASC'); // You should sort groupBy column to use groupBy() Method
$columns = [ // Set Column to be displayed
'Registered At' => 'registered_at',
'Name' => 'name',
'Total Balance' => 'balance',
'Status' => function($result) { // You can do if statement or any action do you want inside this closure
return ($result->balance > 100000) ? 'Rich Man' : 'Normal Guy';
}
];
return PdfReport::of($title, $meta, $queryBuilder, $columns)
->editColumn('Registered At', [
'displayAs' => function($result) {
return $result->registered_at->format('d M Y');
}
])
->editColumn('Total Balance', [
'class' => 'right bold',
'displayAs' => function($result) {
return thousandSeparator($result->balance);
}
])
->editColumn('Status', [
'class' => 'right bold',
])
->groupBy('Registered At') // Show total of value on specific group. Used with showTotal() enabled.
->showTotal([
'Total Balance' => 'point'
])
->stream();PLEASE TAKE NOTE TO SORT GROUPBY COLUMN VIA QUERY FIRST TO USE THIS GROUP BY METHOD.
Output Report With Group By Registered At
