ModelResource

Import / Export

Basics

To use import and export in MoonShine resources, you need to install the dependency via composer.

composer require moonshine/import-export 
composer require moonshine/import-export

Next, add the ImportExportConcern trait and implement the HasImportExportContract interface.

// torchlight! {"summaryCollapsedIndicator": "namespaces"} // [tl! collapse:5] namespace App\MoonShine\Resources; use MoonShine\ImportExport\Contracts\HasImportExportContract; use MoonShine\ImportExport\Traits\ImportExportConcern; use MoonShine\Laravel\Resources\ModelResource; class CategoryResource extends ModelResource implements HasImportExportContract { use ImportExportConcern; // ... } 
 namespaces
namespace App\MoonShine\Resources;
 
use MoonShine\ImportExport\Contracts\HasImportExportContract;
use MoonShine\ImportExport\Traits\ImportExportConcern;
use MoonShine\Laravel\Resources\ModelResource;
 
class CategoryResource extends ModelResource implements HasImportExportContract
{
    use ImportExportConcern;
 
    // ...
}

All set! Next, just declare the fields.

Import

Fields

To import, you need to declare the fields in the resource that will participate in the import.

// torchlight! {"summaryCollapsedIndicator": "namespaces"} // [tl! collapse:7] namespace App\MoonShine\Resources; use MoonShine\ImportExport\Contracts\HasImportExportContract; use MoonShine\ImportExport\Traits\ImportExportConcern; use MoonShine\Laravel\Resources\ModelResource; use MoonShine\UI\Fields\ID; use MoonShine\UI\Fields\Text; class CategoryResource extends ModelResource implements HasImportExportContract { use ImportExportConcern; // ... protected function importFields(): iterable { return [ ID::make(), Text::make('Name'), ]; } } 
 namespaces
namespace App\MoonShine\Resources;
 
use MoonShine\ImportExport\Contracts\HasImportExportContract;
use MoonShine\ImportExport\Traits\ImportExportConcern;
use MoonShine\Laravel\Resources\ModelResource;
use MoonShine\UI\Fields\ID;
use MoonShine\UI\Fields\Text;
 
class CategoryResource extends ModelResource implements HasImportExportContract
{
    use ImportExportConcern;
 
    // ...
 
    protected function importFields(): iterable
    {
        return [
            ID::make(),
            Text::make('Name'),
        ];
    }
}

Be sure to add ID to the import; otherwise, records will only be added without updating existing ones.

If you need to modify a value during import, you should use the field method fromRaw().

// torchlight! {"summaryCollapsedIndicator": "namespaces"} // [tl! collapse:8] namespace App\MoonShine\Resources; use App\Enums\StatusEnum; use MoonShine\ImportExport\Contracts\HasImportExportContract; use MoonShine\ImportExport\Traits\ImportExportConcern; use MoonShine\Laravel\Resources\ModelResource; use MoonShine\UI\Fields\Enum; use MoonShine\UI\Fields\ID; class CategoryResource extends ModelResource implements HasImportExportContract { use ImportExportConcern; // ... protected function importFields(): iterable { return [ ID::make(), Enum::make('Status') ->attach(StatusEnum::class) ->fromRaw(static fn(string $raw, Enum $ctx) => StatusEnum::tryFrom($raw)), ]; } } 
 namespaces
namespace App\MoonShine\Resources;
 
use App\Enums\StatusEnum;
use MoonShine\ImportExport\Contracts\HasImportExportContract;
use MoonShine\ImportExport\Traits\ImportExportConcern;
use MoonShine\Laravel\Resources\ModelResource;
use MoonShine\UI\Fields\Enum;
use MoonShine\UI\Fields\ID;
 
class CategoryResource extends ModelResource implements HasImportExportContract
{
    use ImportExportConcern;
 
    // ...
 
    protected function importFields(): iterable
    {
        return [
            ID::make(),
            Enum::make('Status')
                ->attach(StatusEnum::class)
                ->fromRaw(static fn(string $raw, Enum $ctx) => StatusEnum::tryFrom($raw)),
        ];
    }
}

Settings

For configuring the import, optional methods are available. To use them, you need to add the import() method that returns ImportHandler.

// torchlight! {"summaryCollapsedIndicator": "namespaces"} // [tl! collapse:8] namespace App\MoonShine\Resources; use MoonShine\ImportExport\Contracts\HasImportExportContract; use MoonShine\ImportExport\ImportHandler; use MoonShine\ImportExport\Traits\ImportExportConcern; use MoonShine\Laravel\Handlers\Handler; use MoonShine\Laravel\Resources\ModelResource; use MoonShine\UI\Components\ActionButton; class CategoryResource extends ModelResource implements HasImportExportContract { use ImportExportConcern; // ... protected function import(): ?Handler { return ImportHandler::make(__('moonshine::ui.import')) // Specify the IDs of users who will be notified when the operation is completed ->notifyUsers(fn(ImportHandler $ctx) => [auth()->id()]) // Select disk ->disk('public') // Select directory for saving the import file ->dir('/imports') // Delete the file after import ->deleteAfter() // CSV delimiter ->delimiter(',') // Modify button ->modifyButton(fn(ActionButton $btn) => $btn->class('my-class')) ; } } 
 namespaces
namespace App\MoonShine\Resources;
 
use MoonShine\ImportExport\Contracts\HasImportExportContract;
use MoonShine\ImportExport\ImportHandler;
use MoonShine\ImportExport\Traits\ImportExportConcern;
use MoonShine\Laravel\Handlers\Handler;
use MoonShine\Laravel\Resources\ModelResource;
use MoonShine\UI\Components\ActionButton;
 
class CategoryResource extends ModelResource implements HasImportExportContract
{
    use ImportExportConcern;
 
    // ...
 
    protected function import(): ?Handler
    {
        return ImportHandler::make(__('moonshine::ui.import'))
            // Specify the IDs of users who will be notified when the operation is completed
            ->notifyUsers(fn(ImportHandler $ctx) => [auth()->id()])
            // Select disk
            ->disk('public')
            // Select directory for saving the import file
            ->dir('/imports')
            // Delete the file after import
            ->deleteAfter()
            // CSV delimiter
            ->delimiter(',')
            // Modify button
            ->modifyButton(fn(ActionButton $btn) => $btn->class('my-class'))
        ;
    }
}

If the import() method returns NULL, the import button will not be displayed on the index page.

Events

To change the import logic, you can use the model resource events.

public function beforeImportFilling(array $data): array { return $data; } public function beforeImported(mixed $item): mixed { return $item; } public function afterImported(mixed $item): mixed { return $item; } 
public function beforeImportFilling(array $data): array
{
    return $data;
}
 
public function beforeImported(mixed $item): mixed
{
    return $item;
}
 
public function afterImported(mixed $item): mixed
{
    return $item;
}

Export

In the MoonShine admin panel, exporting all data considering the current filtering and sorting can be implemented.

By default, data is exported in xlsx format, but there is an option to change the format to csv via the csv() method of the ExportHandler class.

Fields

To export, you need to declare the fields in the resource that will participate in the export.

// torchlight! {"summaryCollapsedIndicator": "namespaces"} // [tl! collapse:7] namespace App\MoonShine\Resources; use MoonShine\ImportExport\Contracts\HasImportExportContract; use MoonShine\ImportExport\Traits\ImportExportConcern; use MoonShine\Laravel\Resources\ModelResource; use MoonShine\UI\Fields\ID; use MoonShine\UI\Fields\Text; class CategoryResource extends ModelResource implements HasImportExportContract { use ImportExportConcern; // ... protected function exportFields(): iterable { return [ ID::make(), Text::make('Name'), ]; } } 
 namespaces
namespace App\MoonShine\Resources;
 
use MoonShine\ImportExport\Contracts\HasImportExportContract;
use MoonShine\ImportExport\Traits\ImportExportConcern;
use MoonShine\Laravel\Resources\ModelResource;
use MoonShine\UI\Fields\ID;
use MoonShine\UI\Fields\Text;
 
class CategoryResource extends ModelResource implements HasImportExportContract
{
    use ImportExportConcern;
 
    // ...
 
    protected function exportFields(): iterable
    {
        return [
            ID::make(),
            Text::make('Name'),
        ];
    }
}

If you need to modify a value during export, you should use the field method modifyRawValue().

// torchlight! {"summaryCollapsedIndicator": "namespaces"} // [tl! collapse:8] namespace App\MoonShine\Resources; use App\Enums\StatusEnum; use MoonShine\ImportExport\Contracts\HasImportExportContract; use MoonShine\ImportExport\Traits\ImportExportConcern; use MoonShine\Laravel\Resources\ModelResource; use MoonShine\UI\Fields\Enum; use MoonShine\UI\Fields\ID; class CategoryResource extends ModelResource implements HasImportExportContract { use ImportExportConcern; // ... protected function exportFields(): iterable { return [ ID::make(), Enum::make('Status') ->attach(StatusEnum::class) ->modifyRawValue(static fn(StatusEnum $raw, Enum $ctx) => $raw->value), ]; } }

use MoonShine\UI\Fields\Enum;
use MoonShine\UI\Fields\ID;
 
class CategoryResource extends ModelResource implements HasImportExportContract
{
    use ImportExportConcern;
 
    // ...
 
    protected function exportFields(): iterable
    {
        return [
            ID::make(),
            Enum::make('Status')
                ->attach(StatusEnum::class)
                ->modifyRawValue(static fn(StatusEnum $raw, Enum $ctx) => $raw->value),
        ];
    }

            // Filename
            ->filename(sprintf('export_%s', date('Ymd-His')))
            // Select directory for saving the export file
            ->dir('/exports')
            // If you need to export in csv format
            ->csv()
            // CSV delimiter
            ->delimiter(',')
            // Export with confirmation

            ->modifyButton(fn(ActionButton $btn) => $btn->class('my-class'))
        ;
    }
}

If the export() method returns NULL, the export button will not be displayed on the index page.

Common methods

ImportHandler and ExportHandler extend the base class Handler, which implements additional methods.

icon

// icon for the button icon(string $icon) 
// icon for the button
icon(string $icon)

queue

// run processes in the background queue() 
// run processes in the background
queue()

modifyButton

// torchlight! {"summaryCollapsedIndicator": "namespaces"} // [tl! collapse:1] use MoonShine\UI\Components\ActionButton; // modify button modifyButton(fn(ActionButton $btn) => $btn->class('my-class')) 
 namespaces
use MoonShine\UI\Components\ActionButton;
 
// modify button
modifyButton(fn(ActionButton $btn) => $btn->class('my-class'))

notifyUsers

// select users for notification notifyUsers(fn() => [auth()->id()]) 
// select users for notification
notifyUsers(fn() => [auth()->id()])

when

// methods by condition when($value = null, callable $callback = null, callable $default = null) 
// methods by condition
when($value = null, callable $callback = null, callable $default = null)

$value - condition, $callback - callback function that will be executed if the condition is TRUE, $default - callback function that will be executed if the condition is FALSE.

// torchlight! {"summaryCollapsedIndicator": "namespaces"} // [tl! collapse:7] namespace App\MoonShine\Resources; use MoonShine\ImportExport\Contracts\HasImportExportContract; use MoonShine\ImportExport\ImportHandler; use MoonShine\ImportExport\Traits\ImportExportConcern; use MoonShine\Laravel\Handlers\Handler; use MoonShine\Laravel\Resources\ModelResource; class CategoryResource extends ModelResource implements HasImportExportContract { use ImportExportConcern; // ... protected function import(): ?Handler { return ImportHandler::make('Import') ->when( true, fn($handler) => $handler->delimiter(','), fn($handler) => $handler->delimiter(';') ); } } 
 namespaces
namespace App\MoonShine\Resources;
 
use MoonShine\ImportExport\Contracts\HasImportExportContract;
use MoonShine\ImportExport\ImportHandler;
use MoonShine\ImportExport\Traits\ImportExportConcern;
use MoonShine\Laravel\Handlers\Handler;
use MoonShine\Laravel\Resources\ModelResource;
 
class CategoryResource extends ModelResource implements HasImportExportContract
{
    use ImportExportConcern;
 
    // ...
 
    protected function import(): ?Handler
    {
        return ImportHandler::make('Import')
            ->when(
                true,
                fn($handler) => $handler->delimiter(','),
                fn($handler) => $handler->delimiter(';')
            );
    }
}

unless

// methods by condition unless($value = null, callable $callback = null, callable $default = null) 
// methods by condition
unless($value = null, callable $callback = null, callable $default = null)

$value - condition, $callback - callback function that will be executed if the condition is FALSE, $default - callback function that will be executed if the condition is TRUE.

The unless() method is the reverse of the when() method.

Custom implementation

There may be situations where you want to change the import or export implementation. To do this, you need to implement your own class extending ImportHandler or ExportHandler.

You can generate the class by using the console command:

php artisan moonshine:handler 
php artisan moonshine:handler

After running the command, a base class Handler will be created in the app/MoonShine/Handlers directory.

Don’t forget to change the inheritance from Handler to ImportHandler or ExportHandler.
