Is possible use PhpSpreadsheet inside of Joomla CMS?

[Mario Lacunza]

Im creating some new joomla components for a website, all of them need to work exporting data into Excel, so I think PhpSpreadsheet is a good library for that requirement, but how can I install it inside of joomla? in that way all my components can use that library. Like its using Composer for installation I dont know how to manage it inside Joomla or my compoments.

Hi,

any help with this?

You find an example of creating a Joomla library for Excel here: PHPExcel-Joomla-Library

Exchange the php code with this: PHPOffice/PhpSpreadsheet

[Ove Eriksson]

I should mention that you have to include any required code. I need 3 namespaced libraries and one helper file to export and download a PHPOffice/PHPWord document. You also include the needed autoloaders.

The install creates a new directory in Joomlas library. (not vendor).

To use this in components you require and register the autoloaders in front of your code.

If it's a one time use you can of course skip the install step and use another method. I don't think it's possible to include it in Joomlas composer and autoloader in some way (for now?)

As it might be of general interest : Joomla & Composer

I would follow nibra's suggestion but then move the library/ies to Joomlas libraries folder. Preferable using a library installation package mentioned above. The big advantage - It's visible in the Joomla extension manager-  for you and anyone involved in the project - now and forever. And is uninstallable in the Extension manager.
