Undefined index error in importing excel - laravel

Question

I'm trying to import my excel to my database but the problem is that theres an error saying "Undefined index: title" referring to the title in the controller.
So this is my code for my controller
public function importExcel()
{
if(Input::hasFile('import_file')){
$path = Input::file('import_file')->getRealPath();
$data = Excel::load($path, function($reader){
})->get();
if(!empty($insert)){
foreach ($data as $key => $value) {
$insert[] = ['title' => $value->title, 'description' => $value->description];
}
if(!empty($insert)){
DB::table('items')->insert($insert);
print_r('Insert Record succesfully');
}
}
}
return back();
}
And this is for my view blade:
#extends('layouts.app')
#section('content')
<div class="container">
<button class="btn btn-success">Download Excel xls</button>
<button class="btn btn-success">Download Excel xlsx</button>
<button class="btn btn-success">Download CSV</button>
<form style="border: 4px solid #a1a1a1;margin-top: 15px;padding: 10px;" action="{{ URL::to('importExcel') }}" class="form-horizontal" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
{{ csrf_field() }}
<input type="file" name="import_file" />
<button class="btn btn-primary">Import File</button>
</form>
</div>
#endsection
Here is the image of the excel i want to upload to my database. It's an xlsx that i want to upload.
See picture for reference
But the error says like this Error message screenshot

Answer 1

You can insert the sheet data directly by calling the toArray method of the Maatwebsite\Excel\Readers\LaravelExcelReader.
$loadedFile = Excel::load($path);
$inserts = $loadedFile->toArray();
if (!empty($insert)) {
DB::table('items')->insert($insert);
print_r('Inserted Record successfully');
}
However, going by your implementation it should be noted that when a callback is specified for the reader, $reader->all() or $reader->get() returns a Maatwebsite\Excel\Collections\RowCollection or Maatwebsite\Excel\Collections\SheetCollection depending on the amount of sheets the file has.
For your sample where there is a single sheet, you can rightly expect a Maatwebsite\Excel\Collections\RowCollection. Therefore you have
$inserts = [];
Excel::load($path, function($reader) use (&$inserts) {
foreach ($reader->get() as $row) {
$inserts[] = ['title' => $row->title, 'description' => $row->description];
}
});
if (!empty($inserts)) {
DB::table('items')->insert($inserts);
print_r('Inserted Record successfully');
}
