# 🚀 5 minute quick start
💪 Create an export class in app/Exports
You may do this by using the make:export command.
php artisan make:export UsersExport --model=User

The file can be found in app/Exports:
.
├── app
│ ├── Exports
│ │ ├── UsersExport.php
│
└── composer.json
If you prefer to create the export manually, you can create the following in app/Exports:
<?php
namespace App\Exports;
use App\Models\User;
use Maatwebsite\Excel\Concerns\FromCollection;
class UsersExport implements FromCollection
{
public function collection()
{
return User::all();
}
}

🔥 In your controller you can call this export now:
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use App\Exports\UsersExport;
use Maatwebsite\Excel\Facades\Excel;
class UsersController extends Controller
{
public function export()
{
return Excel::download(new UsersExport, 'users.xlsx');
}
}

And finally add a route to be able to access the export:
Route::get('users/export/', [UsersController::class, 'export']);
