To download an xlsx file in Laravel, you can use the response()->download() method along with the path to the file. Here's how you can do it:

1. First, make sure you have the file stored in a publicly accessible directory in your Laravel project.
2. In your controller method, you can use the following code to download the xlsx file:

1

public function downloadExcelFile()
{
    $file_path = public_path('path_to_your_file.xlsx');

    return response()->download($file_path, 'filename.xlsx');
}

1. Make sure to replace path_to_your_file.xlsx with the actual path to your xlsx file and filename.xlsx with the desired filename that the user will see when downloading the file.
2. You can then create a route that points to this controller method, and users will be able to download the xlsx file by visiting that route in their browser.

That's it! This is how you can download an xlsx file in Laravel.
