Introduction
------------

[](#introduction)

**electron-pdf-php** is a PHP wrapper of [electron-pdf](https://github.com/fraserxu/electron-pdf). It simply provides a PHP interface for the `electron-pdf` cli tool.

Requirements

[](#requirements)

- Linux or MacOS
- Electron PDF

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

[](#installation)

First install **electron-pdf** globally:

```

Require **electron-pdf-php** using composer:

```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Usage is super easy:

```
$generator = new SI\ElectronPdfPhp\Generator();
$pdf = $generator->fromHtml($html)
    ->content();

```

### Settings

[](#settings)

When instantiating a new generator instance the following settings may be passed to the constructor:

- `executable` => `string` - Path to the electron-pdf executable. Default: 'electron-pdf'
- `proxyWithNode` => `bool` - Execute the command using node. This may be necessary in some cases where the error `env: node: command not found` is thrown. Default: false
- `graphicalEnvironment` => `bool` - Whether the server has a graphical environment. This is only valid on Linux machines that have [Xvfb](https://www.x.org/archive/X11R7.6/doc/man/man1/Xvfb.1.xhtml) installed. Default: false
- `marginsType` => `int` - Specify the type of margins to use:
    - `0`: default margins
    - `1`: no margins (electron-pdf default setting)
    - `2`: minimum margins

Example:

```
$generator = new SI\ElectronPdfPhp\Generator([
    'executable' => '/usr/local/bin/electron-pdf'
    ...
]);

```

### Specify a source

```
// Generate the PDF from a URL
$pdf = $generator->from('http://google.com')
