table()

This method used to specify the database table you need to extract, it takes one parameter (string) which is the name of the table.

columns()

To extract all columns just add asterisk (*) or leave the parameter empty while if you want to extract specific columns you can write the columns names following by comma separator.. see the example below.

use ExtractDatabaseToExcel\TableToExcel;

$extract = new TableToExcel([
      'driver' => 'mysql',
      'host' => '127.0.0.1',

      'port' => '3306',
      'charset' => 'utf8'
]);

$extract->table('users');
$extract->columns('username, email, age'); // Extract specific columns
$extract->execute();

execute()

This is the last method you should invoke to execute the script, the method will convert the data and download the excel file.
