Maatwebsite Excel load function not working

$file = $request->file('excel');
$reader = Excel::load($file->getRealPath())->get();

The following error appears:

Call to undefined method Maatwebsite\Excel\Facades\Excel::load()

I am using Maatwebsite 3 in laravel 5.7

Solution

  • The load method has been removed in version 3.0 (may be re-added in 3.1). Please refer the upgrade guide

    ALL Laravel Excel 2.* methods are deprecated and will not be able to use in 3.0 .

    1. Excel::load() is removed and will not be re-added until 3.1
    2. Excel::create() is removed and replaced by Excel::download/Excel::store($yourExport)
    3. v3.0 provides no convenience methods for styling, you are encouraged to use PhpSpreadsheets native methods.
