Laravel Import Issue - laravel

Question

I have this issue when I import excel sheet to Laravel, I'm trying to create table instantly when I import it and creating fields dynamically:
Symfony\Component\Debug\Exception\FatalThrowableError
syntax error, unexpected 'if' (T_IF), expecting ']'
this is the import model for importing files
<?php
namespace App\Imports;
use DB;
use App\People;
use Maatwebsite\Excel\Concerns\ToModel;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;
use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;
class PeopleImport implements ToModel
{
// importing excel sheet or creating new schema
public function model(array $row)
{
return new People([
if (!Schema::hasTable($table_name))
{
Schema::connection('mysql')->create($table_name, function (Blueprint $table) use
($ff, $table_name) {
if (count($ff) > 0) {
foreach ($ff as $field) {
$table->longText($field)->nullable();
$array[] = $field;
}
}
});
foreach($data->toArray() as $row2) {
$insert = DB::table($table_name)->insert($row2);
}
}
]);
}
}
and this is the controller for the file import
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use App\People;
use DB;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Exports\PeopleExport;
use App\Imports\PeopleImport;
use Maatwebsite\Excel\Facades\Excel;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;
use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;
class PeopleController extends Controller
{
/**
* #return \Illuminate\Support\Collection
*/
public function view()
{
$tables = DB::select('SHOW TABLES');
return view('view', [ 'tables' => $tables ]);
}
/**
* #return \Illuminate\Support\Collection
*/
public function export()
{
return Excel::download(new PeopleExport, 'people.xlsx');
}
/**
* #return \Illuminate\Support\Collection
*/
public function import()
{
$data = Excel::import(new PeopleImport,request()->file('file'));
foreach($data->toArray() as $row) {
$value[] = $row;
foreach($row as $key => $val) {
$fields[] = $key;
}
}
$ff = array_unique($fields);
return back()->withStatus(['تم الرفع']);
}
}
by the way I'm using laravel 6 and maatwebsite 3.1

Answer 1

return new People([
if (!Schema::hasTable($table_name))
You can't put if inside an array return new People([if hasTable($table_name))...,
place it elsewhere before.
