In your `Model`: - Create the following methods: ``` public function getExportConfig() { $header = [__('Field label 1'), __('Field label 2'), __('Field label 3'), __('Field label 4')]; $width = [35, 20, 10, 15]; $align = ['L', 'L', 'C', 'R']; $fileName = __('Export file'); return compact('header', 'width', 'align', 'fileName'); } public function getExportData($conditions = []) { ... $result = [ 'Group header (List name)' => [ 'Sub header' => [ [ 'Field value 1', 'Field value 2', 'Field value 3', 'Field value 4', ] ] ] ]; return $result; } ``` 2. In your `Controller`: - Add the `RequestHandler` component to `AppController`, and map `pdf` to the CakeTCPDF plugin, e.g.: ``` public $components = [ ..., 'RequestHandler' => [ 'viewClassMap' => [ 'pdf' => 'CakeTCPDF.Pdf' ] ] ); ``` - Add to your controller action: ``` public export($id = null) { if (!$this->RequestHandler->prefers('pdf')) { throw new BadRequestException(__('Invalid export type'); } $conditions = []; if (!empty($id)) { $conditions['Model.id'] = $id; } $exportConfig = $this->Model->getExportConfig(); $exportData = $this->Model->getExportData(); $this->set(compact('exportConfig', 'exportData')); } ``` 3. In your `View`: - Create a link to the a action with the extension `.pdf`, e.g.: ``` $this->Html->link('PDF file', ['ext' => 'pdf']); ``` - Place the View templates in the subdirectory `Pdf`, e.g.: `app/View/Invoices/Pdf/index.ctp` - Use the `CakeTCPDF.exportPdfTable` element in your View file, e.g.: ``` if (!empty($exportConfig)) { extract($exportConfig); } if (!isset($orientation)) { $orientation = PDF_PAGE_ORIENTATION; } if (isset($fileName)) { $this->setFileName($fileName); } $this->tcpdf->setPageOrientation($orientation, TRUE, PDF_MARGIN_BOTTOM); $this->tcpdf->options['footerText'] = $this->tcpdf->getAliasNumPage(); // set font $this->tcpdf->SetFont(PDF_FONT_NAME_DATA, 'B', PDF_FONT_SIZE_DATA); // set default font subsetting mode $this->tcpdf->setFontSubsetting(true); //set margins $this->tcpdf->SetMargins(PDF_MARGIN_LEFT, PDF_MARGIN_TOP, PDF_MARGIN_RIGHT); $this->tcpdf->SetHeaderMargin(PDF_MARGIN_HEADER); $this->tcpdf->SetFooterMargin(PDF_MARGIN_FOOTER); $this->tcpdf->AddPage(); $this->tcpdf->setPrintFooter(true); echo $this->element('CakeTCPDF.exportPdfTable', compact('exportConfig', 'exportData')); ``` - Use the `CakeTCPDF.exportPdfTableContent` element in your View file, e.g.: ``` echo $this->element('CakeTCPDF.exportPdfTableContent', compact('exportConfig')); ``` ### Health Score 28 — LowBetter than 52% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity10 Limited adoption so far Community6 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity62 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 100% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
