Return variable from within Laravel Excel Import

You can use below code for return variable from laravel export. This is the most easy way to do that.

namespace App\Imports;

use App\User;
use Maatwebsite\Excel\Concerns\ToModel;

class UsersImport implements ToModel
{
    private $rows = 0;

    public function model(array $row)
    {
        ++$this->rows;

        return new User([
            'name' => $row[0],
        ]);
    }

    public function getRowCount(): int
    {
        return $this->rows;
    }
}

After doing the import, we can request the state with the getter.

$import = new UsersImport;
Excel::import($import, 'users.xlsx');

dd('Row count: ' . $import->getRowCount());
