Laravel Excel

I use it, and it is great. Don't know how this answer helps you :)

Thank you for your reply @nakov

I am researching building an application for a small business where one can log in and add some info into a form, then add it to the database and create and store an excel/invoice at the same time and pull it up later and email it and so on. Does this sound like something laravel excel can do?

@lemmon 100% :) it can do much more. But for such a simple scenario it is perfect. I mean it has good documentation which I love, but also see the stars on github, it is pretty popular :)

So just go ahead is my conclusion :)

Thank you @nakov

You can also consider a PDF for an invoice, just a thought.

thank you as well @jlrdw

lets see as I dig deeper...

Thank you all.

Of course I meant the generation of a PDF for the email. Since PDF is pretty standard.

I would just leave it stored in the database and just email a PDF invoice when needed, I don't understand storing it in Excel.

If there's a change or correction in the database and someone forgets to regenerate it in Excel you have errors in accounting.

Just something to consider.

Yes this makes sense thank you @jlrdw
