I try to add fields into DownloadExcel using example - but file is not uploaded,

[sergeynilov]

I have installed "maatwebsite/laravel-nova-excel": "^1.3" into Laravel 10 / php 8.2/ nova 4.27 app
and I added DownloadExcel method into actions methods of Users resource.
It works ok, but I also need to add more fields from related Profile table.

I found this
#74
branch and created a class app/Library/DownloadUsersIntoExcel.php :

<?php

namespace App\Library;
use App\Models\User;
use Laravel\Nova\Actions\Action;
use Laravel\Nova\Http\Requests\ActionRequest;
use Maatwebsite\LaravelNovaExcel\Actions\DownloadExcel;

class DownloadUsersIntoExcel extends DownloadExcel
{

    /**
     * @param ActionRequest $request
     * @param Action        $exportable
     *
     * @return array
     */
    public function handle(ActionRequest $request, Action $exportable): array
    {
        $retArray = [];
        $exportable->query = $this->customQuery($request);
        \Log::info(varDump($exportable->query, ' -1 handle $exportable->query::'));
        return $retArray;
    }

    private function customQuery($request)
    {
        \Log::info(' -1 customQuery $exportable->query::');
        return User::all();
    }

}

and use it in app/Nova/User.php class :

    public function actions(NovaRequest $request)
    {
        return [
            new DownloadUsersIntoExcel,
        ];
    }

Runnin the action I see log lines in log file(methods handle and customQuery are called), but is not is_uploaded -
I have no download dialog under my Chrome...

How to fix it ?

You shouldn't overrule the handle method like that, now the entire excel export part is never called

Please, provide an example, link in which way I can do it ?
