# yii2-htmlconverter

Extension for the Yii2 framework that converts HTML to PDF or images using [wkhtmltopdf].

## Installation

This extensions relies on `wkhtmltopdf`. Installation insructions are provided on the [wkhtmltopdf website] [wkhtmltopdf].

The preferred way to install this extension is through [composer](http://getcomposer.org/download/).

Either run

php composer.phar require --prefer-dist boundstate/yii2-htmlconverter "*"

or add

"boundstate/yii2-htmlconverter": "*"

to the require section of your `composer.json` file.

## Usage

Setup the components in your config:

'htmlToPdf' => [
'class' => 'boundstate\htmlconverter\HtmlToPdfConverter',
'bin' => '/usr/bin/wkhtmltopdf',
// global wkhtmltopdf command line options
// (see http://wkhtmltopdf.org/usage/wkhtmltopdf.txt)
'options' => [
'print-media-type',
'disable-smart-shrinking',
'no-outline',
'page-size' => 'letter',
'load-error-handling' => 'ignore',
'load-media-error-handling' => 'ignore'
],
],
'htmlToImage' => [
'class' => 'boundstate\htmlconverter\HtmlToImageConverter',
'bin' => '/usr/bin/wkhtmltoimage',
],
'response' => [
'formatters' => [
'pdf' => [
'class' => 'boundstate\htmlconverter\PdfResponseFormatter',
// Set a filename to download the response as an attachments (instead of displaying in browser)
'filename' => 'attachment.pdf'
],
'image' => [
'class' => 'boundstate\htmlconverter\ImageResponseFormatter',
],
]
],

Now you can format a response as a PDF:

Yii::$app->response->format = 'pdf';

Or format a response as an image:

Yii::$app->response->format = 'image';

You can also manually generate a PDF from HTML:

$html = $this->render('hello-word');
$header = $this->render('hello-world-header');
$pdf = Yii::$app->htmlToPdf->convert($html, ['page-size' => 'A4', 'header-html' => $header]);

Or manually generate an image from HTML:

$html = $this->render('hello-word');
$pdf = Yii::$app->htmlToImage->convert($html);
