The solution is to send the request not through vue but in a simple <a href="download route" /> since this is a binary download. The data above is correct

This is what I have currently
Export class
class ReportExcel implements FromQuery, withHeadings
{
use Exportable;
public function __construct(int $id)
{
$this->id = $id;
}
public function query()
{
return Form::query()->where('country_id', $this->id);
}
public function headings(): array
{
return ["Opcion 1", "Opcion 2", "Opcion 3", "Nombres", "Apellidos", "Telefono",
"Pais", "Pais Otro", "Edad", "Adventista", "Estudia la Biblia", "Peticion"];
}
}
public function downloadExcel(Request $request)
{
if ($request->country == null) {
$items = Form::with('country')->get();
$ex_title = "Reporte_de_Totales";
} else {
$items = Form::where('country_id', $request->country)->with('country')->orderByDesc('created_at')->get();
$country = Country::where('id', $request->country)->pluck('name')->first();
$ex_title = "Reporte_para_" + $country;
}
return (new ReportExcel((int)$request->country))->download($ex_title, \Maatwebsite\Excel\Excel::XLSX);
}
I get all these weird symbols like this https://ibb.co/F5dTdPF
How can I fix it so I actually download an excel file?
