Can you export excel spreadsheets based on a selection in Laravel? - php

Question

I have a radio group that filters my table to show whether items are active, inactive or both. There is also a button that I am using to export an excel document of the table. My current button downloads all the records. What I want is to export the document based on the filter so if active is selected and showing and the download button is pressed, only active records will be exported
My code:
Controller:
public function filter()
{
$energy = Energy::where('isredundant', 0)->paginate(10);
return view('admin.staff', ['staff1' => $staff1]);
}
public function filtered()
{
$energy = Energy::where('isredundant', 1)->paginate(10);
return view('admin.staff', ['staff1' => $staff1]);
}
public function export()
{
return Excel::download(new UsersExport, 'allrecords.xlsx');
}
public function export()
{
return Excel::download(new UsersExport, 'AllReport.xlsx');
}
public function exportactive()
{
return Excel::download(new UsersExportactive, 'ActiveRecords.xlsx');
}
public function exportredundant()
{
return Excel::download(new UsersExportredundant, 'RedundantRecords.xlsx');
}
my button:
<div> <a class="btn btn-warning" href="/export_excel/excel">Generate Report</a></div>
I tried to use 3 different buttons but that just looks messy. I'm sure there's an easier method

Answer 1

you can try this way
in controller
public function exportactive(Request $request)
{
return Excel::download(new UsersExportactive($request->ids), 'ActiveRecords.xlsx');
}
in UsersExportactive() class
private $ids;
public function __construct($ids)
{
$this->ids = $ids;
}
and do a query for that for like that in UsersExportactive() class
Model::whereIn('id',$ids)->get();
and in view use your export button as a submit button like below
<form>
<input type="checkbox" name="ids[]" id="1"/>active
<input type="checkbox" name="ids[]" id="2"/>inactive
<input type="submit" id="download" value="download Excel"/>
</form>

Answer 2

<input type="radio" name="download" id="x86"/>active<br />
<input type="radio" name="download" id="x64"/>inactive<br />
<input type="button" id="download" value="download"/>
var radio_x86 = document.getElementById('x86');
var radio_x64 = document.getElementById('x64');
var button = document.getElementById('download');
button.onclick = downloadFile;
function downloadFile() {
if (radio_x86.checked) {
window.open("/app/test");
} else if (radio_x64.checked) {
window.open("/app/test1");
} else {
alert("Please check one of the options first.");
}
}
