Laravel SDK for SnapThis snapshot service
=========================================

[](#laravel-sdk-for-snapthis-snapshot-service)

[![Latest Version on Packagist](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/2222920f4f33cd489cff2229ae6d9ba330c2624f73e660b7991e78b2bd130162/68747470733a2f2f696d672e736869656c64732e696f2f7061636b61676973742f762f737465636873747564696f2f736e6170746869732e7376673f7374796c653d666c61742d737175617265)](https://packagist.org/packages/stechstudio/snapthis)

SnapThis is a screenshot service that will convert an URL or HTML payload into a PNG image or PDF file.

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

[](#installation)

You can install the package via composer:

```
composer require stechstudio/snapthis
```

Store your API key in the .env file:

```
SNAPTHIS_API_KEY=[your api key]
```

Quickstart
----------

[](#quickstart)

Take a snapshot by using the `snapshot` or `pdf` methods. Return this result from a controller method to redirect to the snapshot:

```
use SnapThis;

// Will take a PNG image snapshot and redirect the user:
return SnapThis::snapshot('https://laravel.com');
```

Or add the `download` method to force the snapshot to download for your user.

```
return SnapThis::pdf('https://laravel.com')->download();
```

To get the raw binary contents use the `contents` method:

```
$contents = SnapThis::pdf('https://laravel.com')->contents();
```

You can pass in an HTML string instead of a URL:

```
SnapThis::pdf("Hello there");
```

You can also pass in a blade view, then simply chain the `snapshot` or `pdf` methods.

```
$users = User::all();

return SnapThis::view('reports.users', ['users' => $users])->pdf();
```

Options
-------

[](#options)

There are quite a few options for customizing the snapshot. Documentation coming!
