🚨 **THIS PACKAGE HAS BEEN ABANDONED** 🚨

We don't use this package anymore in our own projects and there is an official package with Composer support, so that's why we have chosen to abandon it. We suggest using the official [pdfcrowd/pdfcrowd](https://github.com/pdfcrowd/pdfcrowd-php) package instead. Feel free to fork our code and maintain your own copy.

This is a API client for pdfcrowd.com. It is based on the [pdfcrowd/pdfcrowd-php](https://github.com/pdfcrowd/pdfcrowd-php) project but adjusted for usage with Composer. It also includes a Laravel service provider and unit tests.

Work in progress
----------------

[](#work-in-progress)

This client is still under active development. What needs to be done:

- Improve docs: in what way does this package differ from the original class?
- Improve docs: add docblocks to all setters.
- Improve docs: try to generate docs for complete class?
- Tag a version and release!

Install
-------

[](#install)

> In order to make requests to the API you need to enable the PHP cURL library.

Via Composer

```
$ composer require swisnl/pdfcrowd-client
```

Laravel
-------

[](#laravel)

We provide a service provider so you can use dependency injection of the Pdfcrowd class within your Laravel projects. If you don't use [package auto-discovery](https://laravel-news.com/package-auto-discovery), add the ServiceProvider to the providers array in config/app.php

```
Swis\PdfcrowdClient\PdfcrowdServiceProvider::class,
```

Then, publish the config file using:

```
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Swis\PdfcrowdClient\PdfcrowdServiceProvider"
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

```
# instantiate client, Laravel users can use dependency injection
$client = new Pdfcrowd('username', 'api_key');

# convert HTML to PDF and output
echo $client->convertHtml($someHtml);

# convert URI to PDF and output
echo $client->convertUri('https://google.com');

# convert to PDF and write to file
$client->setOutputDestination(fopen('path/to/output.pdf', 'w');
$client->convertHtml($someHtml);

# retrieve the amount of available tokens
$tokens = $client->availableTokens();

# retrieve the amount of tokens used by the previous conversion
$tokens = $client->getUsedTokens();
```
