Usage

Bulk Action

Add the export action to your table's bulk actions to allow users to export selected records:

use JeffersonGoncalves\FilamentExportAction\Actions\FilamentExportBulkAction;
use JeffersonGoncalves\FilamentExportAction\Enums\ExportFormat;
use JeffersonGoncalves\FilamentExportAction\ValueObjects\AdditionalColumn;

public function table(Table $table): Table
{
    return $table
        ->columns([
            TextColumn::make('name'),
            TextColumn::make('email'),
        ])
        ->bulkActions([
            FilamentExportBulkAction::make('export')
                ->formats([ExportFormat::Csv, ExportFormat::Xlsx, ExportFormat::Pdf])
                ->defaultFormat(ExportFormat::Xlsx)
                ->excludeColumns(['password', 'remember_token'])
                ->additionalColumns([
                    AdditionalColumn::make('exported_at')
                        ->defaultValue(now()->format('d/m/Y')),
                ])
                ->extraViewData(['companyName' => 'Acme Corp']),
        ]);
}

Header Action

Add the export action to your table's header actions to export all records (respecting active filters, search, and sort):

use JeffersonGoncalves\FilamentExportAction\Actions\FilamentExportHeaderAction;
use JeffersonGoncalves\FilamentExportAction\Enums\ExportFormat;

public function table(Table $table): Table
{
    return $table
        ->columns([
            TextColumn::make('name'),
            TextColumn::make('email'),
        ])
        ->headerActions([
            FilamentExportHeaderAction::make('export')
                ->formats([ExportFormat::Csv, ExportFormat::Xlsx, ExportFormat::Pdf])
                ->defaultFormat(ExportFormat::Xlsx)
                ->withFilters()
                ->withSearch()
                ->withSort()
                ->snappy()
                ->extraViewData(['companyName' => 'Acme Corp']),
        ]);
