Laravel Nova CSV Import

A simple CSV import tool for Laravel Nova. This package builds on top of the great work done by Sparclex with the nova-import-card package.

Installation

Install via Composer:

composer require simonhamp/laravel-nova-csv-import

Once installed, you must register the component in your app's NovaServiceProvider (app/Providers/NovaServiceProvider.php):

namespace App\Providers;

use SimonHamp\LaravelNovaCsvImport\LaravelNovaCsvImport;

class NovaServiceProvider extends NovaApplicationServiceProvider
{
    public function tools()
    {
        return [
            new LaravelNovaCsvImport,
        ];
    }
}

Options

By default, all of your Nova Resources will be available for import. However, there are a number of ways that you can explicitly limit what's available for importing.

public static $canImportResource = false;
Default: true
Add this static property to your Resource to prevent it from showing up in the Nova CSV Import tool interface.

public static function canImportResource($request): bool
Define a canImportResource method to use more complex logic to decide if this Resource can be shown during import. If defined, this takes precedence over the $canImportResource property.

public static function excludeAttributesFromImport(): array
Default: []
Define a excludeAttributesFromImport method that returns an array of attribute names that you want to exclude from being visible in the import tool for this Resource.

Example

// App\Nova\User
public static function canImportResource(Request $request)
{
    return $request->user()->can("create", self::$model);
}

public static function excludeAttributesFromImport()
{
    return ['password'];
}

Importer Class

This package uses maatwebsite/excel behind the scenes to handle the actual import. You can find more information about how importing works here.

You can define your own importer class by providing the relevant class name in your published copy of this package's config file.

First, publish the config file:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=nova-csv-import

Then, define and register your own importer class:

<?php

return [
    'importer' =>  App\Utilities\Importer::class,
];
