Laravel export excel

Question

When I'm follow this instruction:

http://www.maatwebsite.nl/laravel-excel/docs/getting-started#installation

For exporting an excel document. It says that I've to do this for laravel 5:

After updating composer, add the ServiceProvider to the providers array in app/config/app.php

'Maatwebsite\Excel\ExcelServiceProvider',

But all my providers in the providers array have something like this:

Illuminate\Auth\AuthServiceProvider::class,

So should I put this here?

Illuminate\Maatwebsite\Excel\ExcelServiceProvider:class,

that doesn't work?

Answer 1

you just need to add following code in config/app.php like this

Maatwebsite\Excel\ExcelServiceProvider::class,

in your provider array and

'Excel' => Maatwebsite\Excel\Facades\Excel:class,

to your alias array and you are good to go
