How do you process a bulk import of CSV data into a Laravel Eloquent model?

Question

I have hundreds of rows of article data that need to be injected into my database. What is the fastest method to import this using custom PHP loops?

DevArch · Answer

Use the Laravel Excel package or native PHP fgetcsv() inside a database transaction. Read the file iteratively, chunk the data into arrays, and use Eloquent's insert() method to push batches of 500 records at a time to save memory.
