⚙ Installation

Use [Composer] to install this package:

🛠️ How to use ?

Simply return a CSVResponse object in your Symfony controller, and you will be able to download a CSV file.

Here’s a simple example:

<?php
// ./src/Controller/MyController.php
namespace App\Controller;

use Ilbee\CSVResponse\CSVResponse;
use Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\Controller\AbstractController;
use Symfony\Component\Routing\Annotation\Route;

class MyController extends AbstractController
{
    /**
     * @Route("/download-csv", name="download_csv") 
     */
    public function downloadCsv(): CSVResponse
    {
        $data = [];
        $data[] = [
            'firstName' => 'Marcel',
            'lastName'  => 'TOTO',
        ];   
        $data[] = [
            'firstName' => 'Maurice',
            'lastName'  => 'TATA',
        ];
        
        return new CSVResponse($data);
    }
}

Explanation

1. CSVResponse: This class generates an HTTP response that will trigger a CSV file download based on the provided data.
2. Data Example: You can replace the $data array with your own data, fetched from a database or other sources.
