Batch inserts

Importing a large file to Eloquent models, might quickly become a bottleneck as every row results into an insert query.

With the WithBatchInserts concern you can limit the amount of queries done by specifying a batch size. This batch size will determine how many models will be inserted into the database in one time. This will drastically reduce the import duration.

namespace App\Imports;

use App\User;
use Nikazooz\Simplesheet\Concerns\ToModel;
use Nikazooz\Simplesheet\Concerns\WithBatchInserts;

class UsersImport implements ToModel, WithBatchInserts
{
    public function model(array $row)
    {
        return new User([
            'name' => $row[0],
        ]);
    }

    public function batchSize(): int
    {
        return 1000;
    }
}

ToModel

This concern only works with the ToModel concern.

Batch Size

A batch size of 1000 will not be the most optimal situation for your import. Play around with this number to find the sweet spot.
