How to show image in Excel file download by Maatwebsite package in Laravel 8 project? - excel

Question

I want to show images from the database in an Excel file downloaded using the Laravel Maatwebsite package.
Controller
$data['company_names'] = Company::where('id', Auth::user()->com_id)
->first(['company_name']);
$data['companies'] = $companies;
$data['users'] = $users;
$data['regions'] = $regions;
$data['roles'] = $roles;
$exl = Excel::download(new EmployeeReportExport($data),
'Employee-Report.xlsx');
ob_end_clean();
return $exl;
Export Code
namespace App\Exports;
use Maatwebsite\Excel\Concerns\FromCollection;
use Illuminate\Contracts\View\View;
use Maatwebsite\Excel\Concerns\FromView;
class EmployeeReportExport implements FromView
{
public function __construct($data)
{
$this->data = $data;
}
public function view(): View
{
return view('back-end.premium.hr-reports.employee-report.employee-bulk-report-excel', [
'data' => $this->data
]);
}
}
Blade
<td>{{ $i++ }}</td>
<td>{{ $usersData->company_assigned_id ?? '' }}</td>
<td>{{ $usersData->first_name . ' ' . $usersData->last_name }}</td>
<td><img src="{{ asset($usersData->profile_photo) ?? '' }}" alt=""></td>
<td>{{ $usersData->email ?? null }}</td>
<td>{{ $usersData->phone }}</td>
But it's not showing in the Excel file; it returns the following error.
