Typesetter
==========

[](#typesetter)

This is the Typesetter main service. This can be used in your own projects directly if you want. You probably want to head over to [typesetter-cli](https://github.com/typesetterio/typesetter-cli) though.

Install
-------

[](#install)

This requires PHP 8.1 or above.

`composer require typesetterio/typesetter`

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Create a config array and pass that to the config maker. Then create a new instance of the Typesetter class. Call the generate method with your config to get a PDF binary return from MPDF.

Example:

```
$config = [
    'title' => 'Benjamin Button',
    'author' => 'F. Scott Fitzgerald',
    'theme' => 'bb',

    'toc-enabled' => true,
    'toc-links' => true,
    'toc-header' => 'Table of Contents',

    'footer' => '{PAGENO}',

    'markdown-extensions' => ['md', 'markdown'],
    'observers' => [
        new \Typesetterio\Typesetter\Observers\DefaultMarkdownConfiguration(),
        new \Typesetterio\TypesetterCLI\Observers\FirstElementInChapterCSSClass(),
        new \Typesetterio\TypesetterCLI\Observers\BreakToPageBreak(),
        new \Typesetterio\TypesetterCLI\Observers\Credits(),
    ],
];

$config = new \Typsetterio\Typesetter\Config($config);
$service = new \Typesetterio\Typesetter\Typesetter();
$pdfContent = $service->generate($config);
file_put_contents('my-pdf.pdf', $pdfContent);
```

To learn more, please check out the [documentation](https://docs.typesetter.io). This details configuration, customization, themes and cover generation, observers, listeners and more.

Credits
-------

[](#credits)

This was heavily influenced by the [Ibis](https://github.com/themsaid/ibis) project but is a complete rewrite.

This package stands on the shoulders of giants like [MPDF](https://mpdf.github.io/), some parts of [Laravel](https://laravel.com) and also the [League Commonmark](https://commonmark.thephpleague.com/) library.

[Aaron Saray](https://aaronsaray.com) is the primary author and maintainer.
