Useful card for Laravel Nova, when you need data editing interface with a lot of mass update actions. In this situation, import/export to xlsx files is good option. This card provides two simple actions:

1. Run excel export script and download file
2. Upload file and run import file

Installation

composer require dzorogh/nova-card-excel-data-update

Also, you must have imports and exports from popular package Laravel Excel:

composer require maatwebsite/excel

Usage

It can be used everywhere in Laravel Nova where any other card can be used.

For example, in app/Nova/NovaServiceProvider.php to show card at dashboard:

    use Dzorogh\ExcelDataUpdate\ExcelDataUpdate;
    
    /**
     * Get the cards that should be displayed on the default Nova dashboard.
     *
     * @return array
     */
    protected function cards()
    {
        return [
            new ExcelDataUpdate(new ExportClass, new ImportClass)
        ];
    }
