Lodata

# CSV

Lodata can expose CSV files using the CSVEntitySet driver and the CSVEntityType entity type. This driver is configured with a Laravel disk and a file path, and supports query and read operations including sorting and pagination.

The CSVEntityType uses the key property offset referring to the CSV row number. The entity type is further configured with the same field order as found in the CSV file.

class LodataServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
{
    public function boot()
    {
        $entityType = new \Flat3\Lodata\Drivers\CSVEntityType('entry');
        $entityType->addDeclaredProperty('name', \Flat3\Lodata\Type::string());
        $entityType->addDeclaredProperty('dob', \Flat3\Lodata\Type::date());

        $entitySet = new \Flat3\Lodata\Drivers\CSVEntitySet('csv', $entityType);
        $entitySet->setDisk('default');
        $entitySet->setFilePath('example.csv');
        \Lodata::add($entitySet);
    }
}

Internally Lodata uses the league/csv (opens new window) package to process CSV files.
