A library to export server/db data in various formats (e.g. excel, html, pdf, csv etc.) using the PHPExcel library. 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.

You can see detailed documentation and demonstration on usage of the extension.

NOTE: The latest version of the extension is v1.0.0 released on 17-Dec-2014. Refer the CHANGE LOG for details.
