Installation ------------ [](#installation) Require this package in your `composer.json` or install it by running: ``` composer require niklasravnsborg/laravel-pdf ``` Now, you should publish package's config file to your config directory by using following command: ``` php artisan vendor:publish ``` Basic Usage ----------- [](#basic-usage) To use Laravel PDF add something like this to one of your controllers. You can pass data to a view in `/resources/views`. ``` use PDF; function generate_pdf() { $data = [ 'foo' => 'bar' ]; $pdf = PDF::loadView('pdf.document', $data); return $pdf->stream('document.pdf'); } ``` Other methods ------------- [](#other-methods) It is also possible to use the following methods on the `pdf` object: `output()`: Outputs the PDF as a string. `save($filename)`: Save the PDF to a file `download($filename)`: Make the PDF downloadable by the user. `stream($filename)`: Return a response with the PDF to show in the browser. Config ------ [](#config) If you have published config file, you can change the default settings in `config/pdf.php` file: ``` return [ 'format' => 'A4', // See https://mpdf.github.io/paging/page-size-orientation.html 'author' => 'John Doe', 'subject' => 'This Document will explain the whole universe.', 'keywords' => 'PDF, Laravel, Package, Peace', // Separate values with comma 'creator' => 'Laravel Pdf', 'display_mode' => 'fullpage' ]; ``` To override this configuration on a per-file basis use the fourth parameter of the initializing call like this: ``` PDF::loadView('pdf', $data, [], [ 'format' => 'A5-L' ])->save($pdfFilePath); ``` Headers and Footers ------------------- [](#headers-and-footers) If you want to have headers and footers that appear on every page, add them to your `` tag like this: ``` Your Header Content Your Footer Content ``` Now you just need to define them with the name attribute in your CSS: ``` @page { header: page-header; footer: page-footer; } ``` Inside of headers and footers `{PAGENO}` can be used to display the page number. Find more information to `SetProtection()` here: Testing ------- [](#testing) To use the testing suite, you need some extensions and binaries for your local PHP. On macOS, you can install them like this: ``` brew install imagemagick ghostscript pecl install imagick ``` License ------- [](#license) Laravel PDF is open-sourced software licensed under the [MIT license](http://opensource.org/licenses/MIT) ### Health Score 32 — LowBetter than 72% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity11 Limited adoption so far Community15 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity73 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 55.7% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
