Laravel Google Sheets

A fluent Laravel package for reading, writing, and managing Google Sheets with first-class support for multiple spreadsheet connections.

Requirements

• PHP 8.1+
• Laravel 10, 11, or 12
• A Google Cloud project with the Sheets API enabled
• A service account JSON credentials file

Installation

composer require olamilekan/laravel-google-sheets

Publish the configuration file:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=google-sheets-config

Configuration

1. Credentials

Place your service account JSON file somewhere secure (e.g. storage/app/google/service-account.json) and set the path in your .env:

GOOGLE_SHEETS_CREDENTIALS_PATH=/path/to/service-account.json

2. Spreadsheet Connections

Define as many named connections as you need in config/google-sheets.php:

'sheets' => [

    'default' => [
        'spreadsheet_id' => env('GOOGLE_SHEETS_SPREADSHEET_ID'),
        'sheet' => 'Sheet1',
    ],

    'users' => [
        'spreadsheet_id' => env('GOOGLE_SHEETS_USERS_SPREADSHEET_ID'),
        'sheet' => 'Users',
    ],

    'reports' => [
        'spreadsheet_id' => env('GOOGLE_SHEETS_REPORTS_SPREADSHEET_ID'),
        'sheet' => 'Monthly',
    ],

],

Set the default connection:

GOOGLE_SHEETS_DEFAULT_CONNECTION=default
GOOGLE_SHEETS_SPREADSHEET_ID=your-spreadsheet-id-here

Usage

Using the Facade

use Olamilekan\GoogleSheets\Facades\GoogleSheets;

Reading Data

// All rows from the default connection (first row treated as headers)
$rows = GoogleSheets::all();

// Specific range
$rows = GoogleSheets::range('A1:D10')->get();

// First row only
$row = GoogleSheets::first();

// Get column headers
$headers = GoogleSheets::headers();

// Without header mapping (raw arrays)
$rows = GoogleSheets::connection('users')->withoutHeaders()->get();

Querying Data

// Find rows where a column matches a value
$admins = GoogleSheets::find('role', 'admin');

// Where clause with operators
$highScores = GoogleSheets::where('score', '>=', 90);

// Partial text matching
$results = GoogleSheets::where('name', 'like', 'john');

Writing Data

// Append rows
GoogleSheets::append([
    ['Alice', 'alice@example.com', 'admin'],
    ['Bob', 'bob@example.com', 'user'],
]);

// Update a specific range
GoogleSheets::range('A2:C2')->update([
    ['Alice Updated', 'alice-new@example.com', 'superadmin'],
]);

// Batch update multiple ranges at once
GoogleSheets::batchUpdate([
    'A2:C2' => [['Alice', 'alice@example.com', 'admin']],
    'A3:C3' => [['Bob', 'bob@example.com', 'user']],
]);

// Clear a range
GoogleSheets::range('A2:C100')->clear();

Multiple Connections

// Switch between configured connections
$users  = GoogleSheets::connection('users')->all();
$reports = GoogleSheets::connection('reports')->all();

// Create an ad-hoc connection to any spreadsheet
$data = GoogleSheets::make('some-spreadsheet-id', 'TabName')->all();

Switching Sheets (Tabs) at Runtime

$sheet = GoogleSheets::connection('default');

$sheet1Data = $sheet->sheet('Sheet1')->all();
$sheet2Data = $sheet->sheet('Sheet2')->all();

Sheet / Tab Management

// List all sheet tabs in a spreadsheet
$tabs = GoogleSheets::listSheets();   // ['Sheet1', 'Users', 'Reports']

// Check if a tab exists
GoogleSheets::sheetExists('Users');   // true

// Create a new tab
GoogleSheets::createSheet('Archive');

// Duplicate an existing tab
GoogleSheets::duplicateSheet('Sheet1', 'Sheet1 Copy');

// Delete a tab
GoogleSheets::deleteSheet('Archive');

Caching

Enable caching in config or at runtime to reduce API calls:

// In config/google-sheets.php
'cache' => [
    'enabled' => true,
    'store'   => 'redis',
    'ttl'     => 300,  // seconds
    'prefix'  => 'google_sheets_',
],

// At runtime
$rows = GoogleSheets::enableCache(600)->all();
$rows = GoogleSheets::disableCache()->all();

Chunked Processing

GoogleSheets::chunk(100, function ($chunk) {
    foreach ($chunk as $row) {
        // process each row
    }
});

Spreadsheet Metadata

$title = GoogleSheets::getTitle();
$id    = GoogleSheets::getSpreadsheetId();

Dependency Injection

use Olamilekan\GoogleSheets\GoogleSheetsManager;

class UserImportService
{
    public function __construct(
        protected GoogleSheetsManager $sheets
    ) {}

    public function import(): void
    {
        $rows = $this->sheets->connection('users')->all();

        foreach ($rows as $row) {
            User::updateOrCreate(
                ['email' => $row['email']],
                ['name' => $row['name']]
            );
        }
    }
}
