HtmlToImageView plugin for CakePHP
==================================

[](#htmltoimageview-plugin-for-cakephp)

This plugin renders html views as image (jpg or png) using `wkhtmltoimage` command line utility from [WkHtmlToPdf](https://wkhtmltopdf.org/) package.

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- CakePHP 3.5+
- [wkhtmltoimage](https://wkhtmltopdf.org/)

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

You can install this plugin into your CakePHP application using [Composer](http://getcomposer.org).

```
composer require andrej-griniuk/cakephp-html-to-image-view
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

First of all you need to load the plugin in your bootstrap.php

```
Plugin::load('HtmlToImageView', ['bootstrap' => true, 'routes' => true]);
```

This will enable `jpeg` and `png` extensions on any route. Alternatively you could load the plugin without `'routes' => true` and only enable extensions on the routes you would like.

Layout path and templates sub dir are `img`, e.g. you'll need to create `src/Template/Layout/img/defaut.ctp` for your image views and and image view template would be, for example, `src/Template/Events/img/view.ctp`. Then simply call, for example, `http://localhost/events/view.jpg` to render your view as image.

Default path to `wkhtmltoimage` binary is `/usr/bin/wkhtmltoimage`. You can change it by setting `HtmlToImageView.binary` configuration variable:

```
Configure::write('HtmlToImageView.binary', '/another/path/to/wkhtmltoimage');
```

You can pass some options to `wkhtmltoimage` from your view via `$this->viewOptions(['imageOptions' => [...])`. List of available options:

- **crop-h** - Set height for cropping
- **crop-w** - Set width for cropping
- **crop-x** - Set x coordinate for cropping
- **crop-y** - Set y coordinate for cropping
- **format** - Output file format (jpg/png)
- **width** - Set screen width, note that this is used only as a guide line (default 1024)
- **height** - Set screen height (default is calculated from page content)
- **zoom** - Zoom level
- **quality** - Output image quality (between 0 and 100) (default 94)

For example:

```
$this->viewOptions([
    'imageOptions' => [
        'width' => 250,
        'zoom' => 2
    ],
]);
```
