Also you can take a look at simple microservice with lumen and this package - [hotrush/Webshotter-microservice](https://github.com/hotrush/Webshotter-microservice).

Changelog
---------

[](#changelog)

***0.1.6*** - added `waitForImages()` and `imagesLoadingTimeout`

***0.1.5*** - custom `$templatePath` fixed, thanks to [mizansyed](https://github.com/mizansyed)

***0.1.3*** - added `timeout` property that allow to limit page load timeout (using [onResourceTimeout](http://phantomjs.org/api/webpage/handler/on-resource-timeout.html) phantomjs feature). If timeout reached `TimeoutException` will be thrown.

------------

[](#installation)

```
composer require hotrush/webshotter

```

Laravel installation
--------------------

[](#laravel-installation)

After installing package via composer add a service provider to your config/app.php

```
// app/config/app.php

'providers' => [
    ...,
    hotrush\Webshotter\WebshotServiceProvider::class
];

```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

```
$webshot = new hotrush\Webshotter\Webshot();
$jpg = $webshot
    ->setUrl('https://github.com')
    ->setWidth(1200)
    ->setHeight(800)
    ->setTimeout(5) // set timeout in seconds, 30 seconds default
    ->setFullPage(true) // set to true to get full page screenshot (width/height will be used for viewport only)
    ->waitForImages() // wait when all images will load
    ->setImagesLoadingTimeout() // images loading timeout, will failt if not loaded
    ->saveToPng('github', $path);

```

You can use `saveToJpg`, `saveToPng` or `saveToPdf` methods. This methods requires 2 parameters: file name (without extension) and target directory to save file. They all returns full path to saved file

If you want to use you own PhantomJs executable - you can specify path to it via constructor.

```
new hotrush\Webshotter\Webshot('/path/to/phantomjs');

```
