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

[](#installation)

Require this package in your composer.json and update composer.

```
composer require mathieutu/laravel-pdflayer
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

You can create a new PDFLayer instance and load a HTML string, file, view name or even an url. You can save it to a file, stream (show in browser) or download.

To create an new instance, you can use the `App` class, the `app()` helper, use the [facade](https://laravel.com/docs/5.5/facades), or (better) use [automatic dependency injection](https://laravel.com/docs/5.5/controllers#dependency-injection-and-controllers) :

```
$pdf = App::make('pdflayer');
$pdf = app('pdflayer');
$pdf = PDF::anyMethod();
public function downloadPdf(MathieuTu\PDFLayer\PDF $pdf) {}
```

You can chain the methods:

```
return $pdf->loadView('pdf.invoice', $data)->setPaper('a4', 'landscape')->save('/path-to/my_stored_file.pdf')->stream('download.pdf');
```

You can set all the parameters given by the [pdflayer documentation](https://pdflayer.com/documentation) by using the `setXXX` method where XXX is the parameter in StudlyCase, or just set the parameter (in original snake\_case) as attribute of the object.

```
$pdf->loadHTML('Hello!')->setWatermarkInBackground(true);
$pdf->margin_top = 134;
$pdf->save('myfile.pdf');
```

If you need the output as a string, you can get the rendered PDF with the output() function, so you can directly send it by email, for example.

### Configuration

[](#configuration)

The defaults configuration settings are set in `config/pdflayer.php`. Copy this file to your own config directory to modify the values. You can publish the config using this shell command:

```
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="MathieuTu\PDFLayer\PDFLayerServiceProvider"
```
