# Installation
Install `its404/php-puppeteer` using Composer.
~~~
composer require its404/php-puppeteer
~~~
# Usage
## Parameters
The library has set some default parameter values to support basic features, you can set the customized parameters to override the default ones, it supports all parameters of [Puppeteer API](https://github.com/GoogleChrome/puppeteer/blob/master/docs/api.md)

__Sample parameter array:__

~~~
$config = [
'html' => "

Hello World

",
'pdf' => [
'path' => '/tmp/test.pdf',
'margin' => [
'top' => '10mm',
'right' => '10mm',
'bottom' => '10mm',
'left' => '10mm',
]
]
];
~~~

> **Note:**
> 1. If both `$config['pdf']['html']` and $config['pdf']['url'] are set, `html` will be picked up.
> 2. If `$config['pdf']['path']` is not set, will return pdf data

## Import
You need to import this namespace at the top of your PHP class

~~~
use Its404\PhpPuppeteer\Browser;
~~~

__PDF by URL__

You can generate PDF by URL through `pdf` function:

~~~
public function actionTest1()
{
$config = [
"url" => "https://www.highcharts.com/demo/line-basic",
];
$browser = new Browser();
$browser->isDebug = true;
$content = $browser->pdf($config);

header("Content-type:application/pdf");
echo $content;
}
~~~

You can set any parameter in `$config` to override the default values

__PDF by HTML__

You can generate PDF by html code through `pdf` function:

~~~
public function actionTest2()
{
$config = [
"html" => "

Hello Wolrd

"
];
$browser = new Browser();
$content = $browser->pdf($config);

header("Content-type:application/pdf");
echo $content;
}
~~~
> **Debug** The class `Browser` has one parameter `$isDebug`, it would be debug mode if it's `true`, detailed error messages would be returned from `pdf` function if an error happened during Puppeteer running.

__PDF to specific path__

You can generate PDF to a specific path by setting `$config['pdf']['path']`

~~~
public function actionTest3()
{
$config = [
"html" => "

Hello Wolrd

",
'pdf' => [
'path' => '/tmp/test.pdf',
]
];
$browser = new Browser();
$browser->isDebug = true;
$result = $browser->pdf($params);

if (isset($result['returnVal'])&& $result['returnVal'] == 0) {
echo "PDF generated successfully";
} else {
echo "Failed to generate PDF";
var_dump($result['output']);
}
}
~~~
