yii2-htmlconverter
==================

[](#yii2-htmlconverter)

Extension for the Yii2 framework that converts HTML to PDF or images using [wkhtmltopdf](http://wkhtmltopdf.org/).

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

[](#installation)

This extensions relies on `wkhtmltopdf`. Installation insructions are provided on the \[wkhtmltopdf website\] [wkhtmltopdf](http://wkhtmltopdf.org/).

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
-----

[](#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);

```
