GeneratePDFs Laravel SDK
========================

[](#generatepdfs-laravel-sdk)

Laravel SDK for the [GeneratePDFs.com](https://generatepdfs.com) API, your go-to place for HTML to PDF.

This package provides seamless integration of the GeneratePDFs PHP SDK into your Laravel application, with service providers, facades, and configuration management.

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

[](#installation)

```
composer require generatepdfs/laravel-sdk
```

Configuration
-------------

[](#configuration)

Publish the configuration file:

```
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=generatepdfs-config
```

This will create a `config/generatepdfs.php` file. Add your API token to your `.env` file:

```
GENERATEPDFS_API_TOKEN=your-api-token-here
```

Get your API Token
------------------

[](#get-your-api-token)

Sign up for an account on [GeneratePDFs.com](https://generatepdfs.com) and head to the API Tokens section and create a new token.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

### Using the Facade

[](#using-the-facade)

```
use GeneratePDFs\Laravel\Facades\GeneratePDFs;

// Generate PDF from HTML file
$pdf = GeneratePDFs::generateFromHtml('/path/to/file.html');

// Generate PDF from HTML with CSS
$pdf = GeneratePDFs::generateFromHtml(
    '/path/to/file.html',
    '/path/to/file.css'
);

// Generate PDF from HTML with CSS and images
$pdf = GeneratePDFs::generateFromHtml(
    '/path/to/file.html',
    '/path/to/file.css',
    [
        [
            'name' => 'logo.png',
            'path' => '/path/to/logo.png',
            'mime_type' => 'image/png' // Optional, will be auto-detected
        ],
    ]
);

// Generate PDF from URL
$pdf = GeneratePDFs::generateFromUrl('https://example.com');

// Get PDF by ID
$pdf = GeneratePDFs::getPdf(123);

// Download PDF
if ($pdf->isReady()) {
    $pdfContent = $pdf->download();
    $pdf->downloadToFile('/path/to/save/output.pdf');
}

// Refresh PDF data to check for status updates
$refreshedPdf = $pdf->refresh();
if ($refreshedPdf->isReady()) {
    $pdfContent = $refreshedPdf->download();
}
```

### Using Dependency Injection

[](#using-dependency-injection)

```
use GeneratePDFs\GeneratePDFs;

class YourController
{
    public function __construct(
        private GeneratePDFs $generatePDFs
    ) {}

    public function generate()
    {
        $pdf = $this->generatePDFs->generateFromUrl('https://example.com');

        return response()->download(
            $pdf->downloadToFile(storage_path('app/temp.pdf'))
        );
    }
}
```

### Using the Service Container

[](#using-the-service-container)

```
$generatePDFs = app('generatepdfs');
$pdf = $generatePDFs->generateFromUrl('https://example.com');
```

### Working with PDF Objects

[](#working-with-pdf-objects)

The SDK returns `Pdf` objects that provide easy access to PDF information and downloading:

```
// Access PDF properties
$pdfId = $pdf->getId();
$pdfName = $pdf->getName();
$status = $pdf->getStatus();
$downloadUrl = $pdf->getDownloadUrl();
$createdAt = $pdf->getCreatedAt();

// Check if PDF is ready
if ($pdf->isReady()) {
    // Download PDF content as string
    $pdfContent = $pdf->download();

    // Or save directly to file
    $pdf->downloadToFile('/path/to/save/output.pdf');
}

// Refresh PDF data from the API (useful for checking status updates)
$refreshedPdf = $pdf->refresh();
if ($refreshedPdf->isReady()) {
    $pdfContent = $refreshedPdf->download();
}
```
