Laravel Excel Integration

Laravel Excel is the default package used when exporting DataTables to Excel and CSV.

Using Export Class

Create an export class php artisan make:export UsersExport
Update the generated export class and extend DataTablesCollectionExport

namespace App\Exports;
 
use Yajra\DataTables\Exports\DataTablesCollectionExport;
 
class UsersExport extends DataTablesCollectionExport
{
 
}

Update your UsersDataTable class and set protected $exportClass = UsersExport::class

class UsersDataTable extends DataTable

    protected $exportClass = UsersExport::class;

Update your export class as needed. See official package docs: https://docs.laravel-excel.com/3.1/exports/collection.html
