Class: \Quorum\Exporter\DataExport

Method: DataExport->__construct

function __construct(\Quorum\Exporter\EngineInterface $engine)

DataExport is the object used to orchestrate the export process regardless of export format.

Parameters:

• \Quorum\Exporter\EngineInterface $engine - The engine by which to export the data sheets.

---

Method: DataExport->addSheet

function addSheet(\Quorum\Exporter\DataSheet $sheet [, ?string $sheetTitle = null]) : void

Add a Data Sheet to the export.

Parameters:

• \Quorum\Exporter\DataSheet $sheet - The DataSheet to add to the export
• string | null $sheetTitle - Optional Title to give the data export. Most Engines will interpret this as filename (sans file extension). If excluded, the name will be left to the engine.

---

Method: DataExport->export

function export([ $outputStream = null]) : void

Trigger the final export process.

Parameters:

• resource | null $outputStream - The stream resource to export to. NULL will open a php://output resource.

Class: \Quorum\Exporter\DataSheet

Method: DataSheet->__construct

function __construct([ ?string $name = null])

DataSheet is the representation of a Worksheet

Parameters:

• string | null $name - The name to give the sheet. The use is Engine implementation specific but is likely filename or Sheet name

---

Method: DataSheet->getName

function getName() : ?string

Get the name of the sheet. Use thereof is Engine Specific

• array $row - An array of scalars.

Throws: \Quorum\Exporter\Exceptions\InvalidDataTypeException

---

Method: DataSheet->addRows

function addRows($dataSet) : void

Append multiple rows of data to the end of the Worksheet.

Parameters:

• array | \Iterator $dataSet - An iterable of arrays of scalars.

---

Method: DataSheet->current

function current() : ?array

Return the current value

---

Method: DataSheet->next

function next() : void

Move forward to next element

---

Method: DataSheet->key

function key() : int

Return the key of the current element

---

Method: DataSheet->valid

function valid() : bool

Checks if current position is valid

---

Method: DataSheet->rewind

function rewind() : void

Rewind the Iterator to the first element

Class: \Quorum\Exporter\EngineInterface

Class: \Quorum\Exporter\Engines\CsvEngine

<?php
namespace Quorum\Exporter\Engines;

class CsvEngine {
	public const STRATEGY_CONCAT = 'stat-concat';
	public const STRATEGY_ZIP = 'stat-zip';
	public const UTF8 = 'UTF-8';
	public const UTF16 = 'UTF-16';
	public const UTF16BE = 'UTF-16BE';
	public const UTF16LE = 'UTF-16LE';
	public const UTF32 = 'UTF-32';
	public const UTF32BE = 'UTF-32BE';
	public const UTF32LE = 'UTF-32LE';
}

Method: CsvEngine->__construct

function __construct([ string $outputEncoding = self::UTF16LE [, ?string $delimiter = null [, string $enclosure = '"' [, string $inputEncoding = self::UTF8]]]])

The default and highly recommended export format for CSV tab delimited UTF-16LE with leading Byte Order Mark.

While this may seem like an odd choice, the reason for this is cross platform Microsoft Excel compatibility.

• https://donatstudios.com/CSV-An-Encoding-Nightmare

Parameters:

• string $outputEncoding - The encoding to output. Defaults to UTF-16LE as it is by far the best supported by Excel
• string | null $delimiter - Character to use as Delimiter. Default varies based on encoding.
• string $enclosure - Character to use as Enclosure.
• string $inputEncoding - The encoding of the input going into the CSVs.

---

Method: CsvEngine->setEnclosure

function setEnclosure(string $enclosure) : void

Character to use as CSV value enclosure. Commonly this will be "

---

Method: CsvEngine->setTmpDir

function setTmpDir(string $tmpDir) : void

Set the tmpDir to write interim files to.

Defaults to sys_get_temp_dir

---

Method: CsvEngine->getMultiSheetStrategy

function getMultiSheetStrategy() : string

Get the current strategy for Multi-Sheet export

---

Method: CsvEngine->setMultiSheetStrategy

function setMultiSheetStrategy(string $multiSheetStrategy) : void

Set the strategy for allowing multiple sheets.

Supported strategies are CsvEngine::STRATEGY_ZIP and CsvEngine::STRATEGY_CONCAT

• CsvEngine::STRATEGY_ZIP will output a single zipfile containing every sheet as a separate CSV file.
• CsvEngine::STRATEGY_CONCAT will output a single CSV file with every sheet one after the next.

Parameters:

• string $multiSheetStrategy - Use the constant CsvEngine::STRATEGY_ZIP or CsvEngine::STRATEGY_CONCAT

---

Method: CsvEngine->getDelimiter

function getDelimiter() : string

Gets delimiter. If unset, UTF-16 and UTF-32 default to TAB "\t", everything else to COMMA ","

---

Method: CsvEngine->setDelimiter

function setDelimiter(?string $delimiter) : void

• string | null $delimiter - Delimiter Character. Must be a single byte.

---

Method: CsvEngine->getEnclosure

function getEnclosure() : string

Get the current character used for enclosure.

---
