Export Laravel excel Image failed - php

Question

Dotrying to export my daanswerdata through laravel excel. https://docs.laravel-excel.com/3.1/getting-started/- this is the documentation I used for reference. At first, it is running successfully, but when I open the exported file, it exports the path of the image instead of exporting the actual images. Is there a way to export the image(the png file)?
This is exported file
this is the local path folder where the image saved
this is how its look like in my database .
here is my code:
1.Export.php
<?php
namespace App\Exports;
use App\Models\signature;
use Maatwebsite\Excel\Concerns\FromCollection;
//frow laravel excel drawing(image export)
use PhpOffice\PhpSpreadsheet\Worksheet\Drawing;
use Maatwebsite\Excel\Concerns\WithHeadings;
use Maatwebsite\Excel\Concerns\WithColumnWidths;
class SignatureExport implements FromCollection, WithHeadings, WithColumnWidths
{
/**
* #return \Illuminate\Support\Collection
*/
public function collection()
{
return signature::all();
}
public function drawings()
{
$drawing = new Drawing();
$drawing->setName('signature');
$drawing->setDescription('This is my signatuer');
$drawing->setPath(public_path('/uploads/signatures'));
$drawing->setHeight(90);
$drawing->setCoordinates('D1');
return $drawing;
}
public function headings(): array
{
return [
'id',
'name',
'description',
'signature',
'created_at',
'updated_at',
];
}
public function columnWidths(): array
{
return [
'A' => 30,
'B' => 30,
'C' => 30,
'D' => 30,
'E' => 30,
];
}
}
2.Export Controller
public function exportexcel()
{
return Excel::download(new SignatureExport, 'signaturelist.xlsx');
}
Do I miss anything? any answer is appreciated.

<?php
namespace App\Exports;
use App\Models\signature;
use Maatwebsite\Excel\Concerns\FromCollection;
//frow laravel excel drawing(image export)
use PhpOffice\PhpSpreadsheet\Worksheet\Drawing;
use Maatwebsite\Excel\Concerns\WithDrawings;
use Maatwebsite\Excel\Concerns\WithHeadings;

use Maatwebsite\Excel\Concerns\WithColumnFormatting;
class SignatureExport implements FromCollection, WithHeadings, WithColumnWidths, WithDrawings
{
/**
* #return \Illuminate\Support\Collection
*/
public function collection()
{
return signature::all();
}
public function drawings()
{
$drawing = new Drawing();
$drawing = new \PhpOffice\PhpSpreadsheet\Worksheet\Drawing();
$drawing->setName('signature');
$drawing->setDescription('This is my signatuer');
$drawing->setPath(public_path('/uploads/signatures/62ac8a575af1a.png'));
$drawing->setHeight(90);
$drawing->setCoordinates('D1');
return $drawing;
}
public function headings(): array
{
return [
'id',
'name',
'description',
'signature',
'created_at',
'updated_at',
];
}
public function columnWidths(): array
{
return [
'A' => 30,
'B' => 30,
'C' => 30,
'D' => 30,
'E' => 30,
];
}
}
what should i do to get all image being exported?

Answer 1

In your SignatureExport class file you are missing the WithDrawings implements
class SignatureExport implements WithDrawings //like this
So your SignatureExport class should look something like this
class SignatureExport implements FromCollection, WithHeadings, WithColumnWidths, WithDrawings
use PhpOffice\PhpSpreadsheet\Worksheet\Drawing;
This import is just to instance $drawing = new Drawing(); object.
For the export file to work you will need to add withDrawing concerns like you are adding WithHeadings and others
