Because CSV is a data format, just like JSON, it should be possible to respond to a request with this format.\n\n```PHP\n$data = [\n    ['first_name', 'last_name'],\n    ['John', 'Doe'],\n    ['Jane', 'Doe'],\n];\n\nreturn response()-\u003ecsv($data);\n```\n\nThis small package offers a straightforward solution that deals with conversion, from array or collection of objects to comma separated values string, and character encoding.\n\n### Disclaimer\n\nThis package is just a pretty cool helper to create CSV responses without pain.\n\nIf you want to generate CSV (or Excel) files with a lot of options and more robustness you should take a look at [Maatwebsite/Laravel-Excel](https://github.com/Maatwebsite/Laravel-Excel).\n\n## Installation\n\nRequire this package with composer using the following command:\n\n```\ncomposer require neoxia/laravel-csv-response\n```\n\nAs of Laravel 5.5, this package will be automatically discovered and registered.\nFor older version of Laravel, add the service provider in `config/app.php`.\n\n```PHP\nNeoxia\\Routing\\ResponseFactoryServiceProvider::class,\n```\n\n## Usage\n\n### Base data format\n\nThe `csv()` method is very flexible about data format. All this examples return exactly the same response.\n\n```PHP\nresponse()-\u003ecsv(collect(\n    new User(['first_name' =\u003e 'John', 'last_name' =\u003e 'Doe']),\n    new User(['first_name' =\u003e 'Jane', 'last_name' =\u003e 'Doe']),\n));\n\nresponse()-\u003ecsv([\n    ['first_name', 'last_name'],\n    ['John', 'Doe'],\n    ['Jane', 'Doe'],\n]);\n\nresponse()-\u003ecsv([\n    ['first_name' =\u003e 'John', 'last_name' =\u003e 'Doe'],\n    ['first_name' =\u003e 'Jane', 'last_name' =\u003e 'Doe'],\n]);\n\nresponse()-\u003ecsv(\"first_name;last_name\\r\\nJohn;Doe\\r\\nJane;Doe\");\n```\n\n### Objects as rows\n\nIf the \"rows\" of the array of data passed to the method are objects, you have to implement the `csvSerialize()` method in this objects. This method is based in the same principle than the `jsonSerialize()` method that is already implemented into an Eloquent model. It should return data as an associative array.\n\nFor example:\n\n\n```PHP\nclass User\n{\n    public function csvSerialize()\n    {\n        return [\n            'first_name' =\u003e $this-\u003efirst_name,\n            'last_name' =\u003e $this-\u003elast_name,\n        ];\n    }\n}\n```\n\n### CSV first row\n\nWhen the \"rows\" of the data collection are associative arrays or objects, the package use the keys of the first row to define the first row of the CSV response. This first row is generaly used as column titles in this type of file.\n\nIn order to have a consistent response, you have to be sure that every row in the data collection has the same number of values and the keys in the same order.\n\n### Other parameters\n\nThe `csv()` function declaration, based on Laravel `json()` function, is the following.\n\n```PHP\npublic function csv($data, $status = 200, array $headers = [], array $options = [])\n```\n\n#### Status\n\nTypically, you should return your CSV with status *200 Ok* but you are allowed to be imaginative. Maybe are you building a full REST-CSV API ;)\n\n#### Headers\n\nThe default headers for this response are the following but you can overwrite it.\n\n```PHP\n[\n    'Content-Type' =\u003e 'text/csv; charset=WINDOWS-1252',\n    'Content-Encoding' =\u003e 'WINDOWS-1252',\n    'Content-Transfer-Encoding' =\u003e 'binary',\n    'Content-Description' =\u003e 'File Transfer',\n]\n```\n\nNote that the default charset and encoding are automatically overwrited if a custom encoding is specified in the options (see below).\n\n#### Options\n\nThe last argument lets you define how the CSV is built and formated. We have defined a format that fits very well in most cases but the optimal configuration may depend on your environment (language, Microsoft Office version, etc.).\n\nThe default options are the following.\n\n```PHP\n[\n    'encoding' =\u003e 'WINDOWS-1252',\n    'delimiter' =\u003e ';',\n    'quoted' =\u003e true,\n    'include_header' =\u003e true,\n]\n```\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fneoxia%2Flaravel-csv-response","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fneoxia%2Flaravel-csv-response","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fneoxia%2Flaravel-csv-response/lists"}
