> A Simple package for easily generating PDF documents from HTML.This package is specially for laravel but you can use this without laravel.
## Installation
#### Install wkhtmltopdf
This was tested on:
- Ubuntu 14.04 x64
- Ubuntu 16.04 x64
```sh
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install xvfb libfontconfig wkhtmltopdf
```
#### For docker
```
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install xvfb libfontconfig wkhtmltopdf
```
#### Upddate Composer
```
composer require nahidulhasan/html2pdf
```
If laravel version < 5.5, add the ServiceProvider to the providers array in config/app.php
NahidulHasan\Html2pdf\Html2pdfServiceProvider::class,
You can optionally use the facade for shorter code. Add this to your facades:
'Pdf' => NahidulHasan\Html2pdf\Facades\Pdf::class,
## Basic Usage
To create PDF add something like this to one of your controllers.
```php
use NahidulHasan\Html2pdf\Facades\Pdf;
$document = Pdf::generatePdf('
Test
');
```
You can also create PDF from directly calling laravel blade file. Suppose you have a mail template named greeting in view/mails folder and want to send parameter then you have to call generatePdf method as described in below
```php
$document = Pdf::generatePdf(view('mails.greeting', ['name' => 'James', 'testVar' => 'demo']));
```
Now If you want to send mail to your client attaching pdf then you can follow this code
```php
/**
* Build the message.
*
* @return $this
*/
public function build()
{
return $this->from('[email protected]')
->view('mails.demo')
->attachData($document, 'Invoice.pdf');
}
```
### Download pdf
Save the PDF to a file in a specific folder, and then download it
```
use NahidulHasan\Html2pdf\Pdf;
$obj = new Pdf();
$html = ''
. '
Put your html here, or generate it with your favourite '
. 'templating system.
'
. '';
$invoice = $obj->generatePdf($html);
define('INVOICE_DIR', public_path('uploads/invoices'));
if (!is_dir(INVOICE_DIR)) {
mkdir(INVOICE_DIR, 0755, true);
}
$outputName = str_random(10);
$pdfPath = INVOICE_DIR.'/'.$outputName.'.pdf';
File::put($pdfPath, $invoice);
$headers = [
'Content-Type' => 'application/pdf',
'Content-Disposition' => 'attachment; filename="'.'filename.pdf'.'"',
];
return response()->download($pdfPath, 'filename.pdf', $headers);
```
### Other Usage
It is also possible to use the following methods :
``` pdf::stream('
Test
') ``` Open the PDF file in browser
### Running without Laravel
You can use this library without using Laravel.
Example:
```
use NahidulHasan\Html2pdf\Pdf;
$obj = new Pdf();
$document = $obj->generatePdf('
Test
');
```
