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

[](#installation)

Install [pandoc](https://github.com/jgm/pandoc) on your system.

Install pandoc-php with [composer](http://getcomposer.org)

```
composer require laudis/pandoc
```

Quick usage
-----------

[](#quick-usage)

Pandoc converts text using the convert method.

```
use Laudis\Pandoc\Pandoc;

$pandoc = new Pandoc();
echo $pandoc->convert('#Hello Pandoc', 'html'); //outputs Hello Pandoc
```

Pandoc converts files using the convertFile method.

```
$pandoc->convertFile(__DIR__.'/my-file.txt', 'html', 'text');
```

Building commands
-----------------

[](#building-commands)

Pandoc php also handles more complex systems by accepting commands. A builder pattern creates these.

This example builds a command which controls pandoc to convert the markdown to a temporary JSON file.

```
use Laudis\Pandoc\Commands\Command;
use Laudis\Pandoc\Enums\Option;

$command = Command::create()
    ->withContent('# H1')
    ->withOption(Option::OUTPUT_FILE(), sys_get_temp_dir() . '/tmp.json') // Use the option enumeration for easy ide integration and built in typo protection.
    ->withOption('-w', 'json'); // Strings can also describe an option

$pandoc->run($command);
```

Streams and resources
---------------------

[](#streams-and-resources)

Pandoc php supports resources!

```
use Laudis\Pandoc\Commands\Command;
use Laudis\Pandoc\Enums\Option;

$command = Command::create()
    ->withResource(fopen('https://laudis.tech', 'rb'))
    ->withOption(Option::FROM_FORMAT(), 'html')
    ->withOption(Option::TO_FORMAT(), 'pdf');

echo $pandoc->run($command);
```

Pandoc also optionally streams the result for a seamless experience.

```
foreach ($pandoc->stream($command) as $part) {
    echo $part;
}
```

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

[](#configuration)

The pandoc constructor accepts the location of the pandoc executable.

```
$pandoc = new Pandoc(); // Defaults to "pandoc" as the executable,

$pandoc = new Pandoc('/usr/bin/pandoc-beta'); // /usr/bin/pandoc-beta is now the location of the executable,
```

Version detection
-----------------

[](#version-detection)

Pandoc is also aware of the version of the executable. The version is accessible through the getVersion method.

```
$pandoc = new Pandoc();

echo $pandoc->getVersion(); // Echos the version provided in with the --version flag.
```
