Laravel Retrieve Parameter to function view - laravel

Question

Laravel 7: I'm building a report view using Maathwebsite.
My function looks like this.
public function view(): View
{
return view('dash._exportSales' ['datas' => Sales::where('store_id', 30)->get()]);
}
This will output an excel file with all the information, as you can see I'm using a basic settings, so far so good, the problem that I have is that I have no idea how to give a parameter, the number 30 is the ID but how can I retrieve that number?
my route looks like this
Route::get('sales/export_sales', 'SaleController#export')->name('export.sales');
if I use: Route::get('lots/export_sales/{id}', 'SaleController#export')->name('export.sales');
doesn't do anything still can't get the ID in to my ExportController which looks like this:
class SaleExport implements FromView
{
public function view(): View
{
return view('dash._exportSales' ['datas' => Sales::where('store_id', 30)->get()]);
}
}
If add a declare a private, const, public or protected variable it does nothing nor can set or retrieve a value...
So how can I retrieve that ID #?
Export is on my SalesController.php, the above class is on my SalesExport.php
SalesExport looks like this:
public function export($id)
{
$name = 'store_' . $id . '.xlsx';
return Excel::download(new SaleExport(), $name);
}
My routes looks like this.
Route::get('sales/export_sales/{id}', SaleController#export')->name('export.sales');
Route::get('sales', 'SaleController#sales')->name('sales');

Answer 1

you can do this by following way
Route::get('sales/export_sales/{id}', 'SaleController#export')->name('export.sales');
and your method should be like this
public function view($id)
{
return view('dash._exportSales' ['datas' => Sales::where('store_id', $id)->get()]);
}

Answer 2

The whole problem was that I never use __construct() on my controller.
So, here is the full flow
Laravel 7+
maatwebsite/excel
First the view:
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th colspan="4">Report {{ date('Y-m-d H:i:s') }} | Store: {{ $datas->store_name }}</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<th style="font-weight: bold; text-align: center; vertical-align: middle;">Sale #</th>
<th style="font-weight: bold; text-align: center; vertical-align: middle;">Amount</th>
<th style="font-weight: bold; text-align: center; vertical-align: middle;">Date</th>
<th style="font-weight: bold; text-align: center; vertical-align: middle;"></th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
#foreach($datas->items as $data)
<tr>
<td>{{ $data->id }}</td>
<td>{{ $data->amount }}</td>
<td>{{ $data->date }}</td>
<th></th>
</tr>
#endforeach
</tbody>
</table>
It has more columns but lets keep it simple.
in app create a new folder app/Exports, inside SaleExport.php
Inside that file use it like this:
namespace App\Exports;
use App\Sale;
use Illuminate\Contracts\View\View;
use Maatwebsite\Excel\Concerns\FromView;
//use Illuminate\Support\Facades\DB;
class SaleExport implements FromView
{
protected $id;
public function __construct($id)
{
$this->id = $id;
}
public function view(): View
{
return view('dash._exportsales', ['datas' => Sales::where('store_id', $this->id)->get()]);
}
}
On this file was the problem there was no __contruct(); but I didn't notice because it was been called from another controller with __construct(); so my "view controller looks like this.
namespace App\Http\Controllers\Dash;
use App\Order;
use App\Sale;
//use Maatwebsite\Excel\Excel;
use Maatwebsite\Excel\Facades\Excel;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Exports\SaleExport;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\DB;
use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
class ReportController extends Controller
{
public function index(Request $resquest)
{
// This is just a basic index nothing fancy
// I could avoid this 'where' but client only want this status...
$query = Order::where('status', 1);
// a few IF's to build query with orWhere();, limit();... etc
// here is where I could add the 'status' and set it as filter...
$data = $query->paginate($limit);
return view('dash.order_list', compact('data');
}
// Here is where we call our Export
public function export($id)
{
$name = 'sales_' . $id . '.xlsx'; // Set the same for the file
return Excel::download(new SaleExport($id), $name);
}
}
Then you can just called in your router Route::get('sales', 'SaleController#export')->name('sales'); and thats it!, you get a full report using a blade view in to your excel software... problem was is that I wasn't using __construct(); on my FromView controller
Reference about this method can be found here: docs.laravel-excel, problem on my part was that the construct, without a construct can't use parameters, now that is been set I can use parameters and do more filters for a better report.
Thanks to #lagbox who reminded me of that.
