Laravel PrinceXML Wrapper
=========================

[](#laravel-princexml-wrapper)

Laravel PrinceXML Wrapper is a Laravel 4.2 package that wraps around the  PDF generator.

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

[](#installation)

There's a requirement to have the "prince" executable installed.

```
Install the "prince" executable from http://www.princexml.com/download/.

```

Run the following command to add Kodebyraaet/Prince to download and install.

```
composer require kodebyraaet/prince

```

Add the following .env variable to your .env.\*.php.

```
PRINCE_EXECUTABLE_PATH=/path/to/prince

```

Add the following to your app.php file in the service provider and alias sections respectively. The alias/facade is optional.

```
'Kodebyraaet\Prince\PrinceServiceProvider',
'Prince'            => 'Kodebyraaet\Prince\Facades\Prince',

```

Usage
=====

[](#usage)

The Kodebyraaet\\Prince\\Prince class is bound in the Laravel IoC as a Kodebyraaet\\Prince\\PrinceInterface, so everywhere the IoC automatically resolves dependencies (ie. in controllers) this is the preferred way to use Prince. Optionally you can also use $app->make(...) or App::make(...); You can also use \\Prince or Kodebyraaet\\Prince\\Facades\\Prince directly anywhere.

Methods
-------

[](#methods)

All methods are chainable so you can dynamically add more and more markup as you go to a Prince document. For example:

```
$prince->html('')
    ->html('Appending more content.
    ->html('');

```

The *html* method takes html as a string and appends it to the internally stored markup.

```
$prince->html('Some HTML');

```

The *view* method takes a Laravel view that has not yet been rendered and renders is and appends it to the internally stored markup.

```
$prince->view(View::make('someview',['somevar' => $somevalue]));

```

The *download* method returns a Response object that can be returned to the client for view in browser/download. For example, in a Controller you can return this for a direct view of a generated PDF.

```
return $prince->html('...')->download();

```

The *store* method required a path and returns the same path if successful.

```
$pdfPath = $prince->html('...')->store(public_path('/pdf/example.pdf'));

```
