yii2-export

---

     

A library to export server/db data in various formats (e.g. excel, html, pdf, csv etc.) using the PhpSpreadsheet library. The widget allows you to configure the dataProvider, columns just like a yii\grid\GridView. However, it just displays the export actions in form of a ButtonDropdown menu, for embedding into any of your GridView or other components., _(*1)

In addition, with release v1.2.0, the extension also displays a handy grid columns selector for controlling the columns for export. The features available with the column selector are:, _(*2)

• shows a column picker dropdown list to allow selection of columns for export.
• new container property allows you to group the export menu and column selector dropdowns.
• new template property for manipulating the display of menu, column selector or additional buttons in button group.
• allows configuration of column picker dropdown button through columnSelectorOptions
• auto-generates column labels in the column selector. But you can override displayed column labels for each column key through columnSelector property settings.
• allows preselected columns through selectedColumns (you must set the selected column keys)
• allows columns to be disabled in column selector through disabledColumns (you must set the disabled column keys)
• allows columns to be hidden in column selector through hiddenColumns (you must set the hidden column keys)
• allows columns to be hidden from both export and column selector through noExportColumns (you must set the no export column keys)
• toggle display of the column selector through showColumnSelector property
• column selector is displayed only if asDropdown is set to true.

The extension offers configurable user interfaces for advanced cases using view templates., _(*3)

• exportColumnsView allows you to setup your own custom view file for rendering the column selector dropdown.
• afterSaveView allows you to setup your own after save view file if you are configuring to save exported file on server.

Pre-requisites

'modules' => [
    'gridview' => [
        'class' => 'kartik\grid\Module',
        // other module settings
    ]
]

Usage

ExportMenu

use kartik\export\ExportMenu;
$gridColumns = [
    ['class' => 'yii\grid\SerialColumn'],
    'id',
    'name',
    'color',
    'publish_date',
    'status',
    ['class' => 'yii\grid\ActionColumn'],
];

// Renders a export dropdown menu
echo ExportMenu::widget([
    'dataProvider' => $dataProvider,
    'columns' => $gridColumns,
    'clearBuffers' => true, //optional
]);

// You can choose to render your own GridView separately
echo \kartik\grid\GridView::widget([
    'dataProvider' => $dataProvider,
    'filterModel' => $searchModel,
    'columns' => $gridColumns
]);
