A library to export server/db data in various formats (e.g. excel, html, pdf, csv etc.) using the [PHPExcel library](https://phpexcel.codeplex.com/). The widget allows you to configure the dataProvider, columns just like a yii\grid\GridView. However, it just displays the export actions in form of a ButtonDropdown menu, for embedding into any of your GridView or other components.

In addition, with release v1.2.0, the extension also displays a handy grid columns selector for controlling the columns for export. The features available with the column selector are:

- shows a column picker dropdown list to allow selection of columns for export.
- new `container` property allows you to group the export menu and column selector dropdowns.
- new `template` property for manipulating the display of menu, column selector or additional buttons in button group.
- allows configuration of column picker dropdown button through `columnSelectorOptions`
- auto-generates column labels in the column selector. But you can override displayed column labels for each column key through `columnSelector` property settings.
- allows preselected columns through `selectedColumns` (you must set the selected column keys)
- allows columns to be disabled in column selector through `disabledColumns` (you must set the disabled column keys)
- allows columns to be hidden in column selector through `hiddenColumns` (you must set the hidden column keys)
- allows columns to be hidden from both export and column selector through `noExportColumns` (you must set the no export column keys)
- toggle display of the column selector through `showColumnSelector` property
- column selector is displayed only if `asDropdown` is set to `true`.

The extension offers configurable user interfaces for advanced cases using view templates.

- `exportFormView` allows you to setup your own custom view file for rendering the export form.
- `exportColumnsView` allows you to setup your own custom view file for rendering the column selector dropdown.
