Delete table befor upload...

[ghost]

how can I delete the database table completely before import.

[patrickbrouwers]

We don't offer anything special for that, just use Laravel's database classes for that

[ghost]

Do you have an example of how I could implement this?

You may try this, it's fast but be carefull this trasaction can not rollback.

DB::statement("truncate table your_table");

where can i put this in your laravel extension? i am laravel newbie

[patrickbrouwers]

DB::statement("truncate table your_table"); 
Excel::import(...)

Thank you for your support, what else I was missing. I have now solved it:

DB::table($table)->truncate();
Excel::import(...);
