An open-source Laravel package for building Excel, CSV, and PDF exports from a single definition with filters, relationships, queues, permissions, and high-performance streaming.
👋 Hey Product Hunt!
I'm excited to launch **Export Builder**, an open-source Laravel package that makes exporting data simple, reusable, and scalable.
Every Laravel project eventually needs exports, but most teams end up maintaining separate logic for Excel, CSV, and PDF—often with duplicated code, performance issues, and limited flexibility.
I wanted a better approach.
With **Export Builder**, you define your export **once**, and generate **XLSX, XLS, CSV, or PDF** from the same class. It's built for real-world applications with large datasets, complex relationships, permissions, queues, and localization.
✨ Highlights:
* 📄 One export definition for XLSX, XLS, CSV & PDF
* ⚡ Memory-safe streaming for millions of records
* 🔄 Direct downloads or queued background exports
* 🔗 Powerful relationship support (nested, polymorphic, counts & lists)
* 🎯 Runtime column selection and advanced filtering
* 🔒 Built-in permission gating
* 🌍 English & Arabic translations
* ✅ Supports Laravel 10, 11, 12 & 13
This package has already helped reduce thousands of lines of repetitive export code across my own projects, and I hope it saves other Laravel developers time as well.
I'd really love your feedback:
* Which export feature do you wish existed in Laravel today?
* What integrations or formats should I add next?
If you find Export Builder useful, I'd truly appreciate an upvote here on Product Hunt and a ⭐ on GitHub.
Thanks for checking it out! ❤️
Honestly been waiting for something like this, the single definition for excel csv and pdf is basically the cleanest approach I've seen. Streaming works great on a 200k row table without choking memory.
Laravel Export Builder looks super promising. Congrats on shipping and launching — best of luck today! 🚀
This looks genuinely useful for anyone dealing with complex Laravel exports. One thing that would make it even better is built-in support for custom Excel styling and number formats directly in the definition, so you don't have to drop down to raw PhpSpreadsheet calls every time you need things like currency formatting or conditional row colors.
The relationship handling is genuinely nice, saves me from writing the same joins in three different export scripts. Streaming performance looks solid too.
would love to see built-in support for exporting selected columns only, so users can pick exactly which fields to include instead of grabbing everything. that kind of flexibility would make this really shine for custom reports
The single definition approach is genuinely useful, swapped from juggling three packages down to one clean class. Streaming actually works without choking memory on larger exports too.
