[📖 Documentación en Español](docs/es.md) · [English docs below](#requirements)

PDF Designer for Laravel — template management, visual layout engine, and dual PDF rendering (DomPDF + TCPDF composite engine).

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- PHP 8.3+
- Laravel 13+
- DomPDF (`barryvdh/laravel-dompdf`)
- TCPDF composite engine (`tecnickcom/tc-lib-pdf`)

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

[](#installation)

```
composer require toolreport/core
```

Publish configuration and run migrations:

```
php artisan pdf-designer:install
```

Or publish manually:

```
# Config
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=pdf-designer-config

# Migrations
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=pdf-designer-migrations
```

PDF Designer
------------

[](#pdf-designer)

The visual designer is a Vue 3 application included in the package. After installing the PHP package, build and configure the frontend:

### Setup

[](#setup)

```
# Install the package
composer require toolreport/core

# Run the installer (publishes config, migrations, and views)
php artisan pdf-designer:install --with-assets
```

### Vite Configuration

[](#vite-configuration)

Add the designer entry point and `@` alias to your `vite.config.ts`:

```
import { defineConfig } from 'vite'
import laravel from 'laravel-vite-plugin'
import vue from '@vitejs/plugin-vue'
import tailwindcss from '@tailwindcss/vite'
import { fileURLToPath } from 'url'

export default defineConfig({
    plugins: [
        laravel({
            input: [
                'resources/css/app.css',
                'vendor/toolreport/core/designer/src/main.ts',
            ],
            refresh: true,
        }),
        vue(),
        tailwindcss(),
    ],
    resolve: {
        alias: {
            '@': fileURLToPath(
                new URL('./vendor/toolreport/core/designer/src', import.meta.url),
            ),
        },
    },
})
```

### Install Dependencies

[](#install-dependencies)

```
npm install -D vue @vitejs/plugin-vue
npm install pinia axios vue-router
```

### Tailwind v4

[](#tailwind-v4)

Tell Tailwind to scan the designer source files. Add this line to your `resources/css/app.css`:

```
@source "../../vendor/toolreport/core/designer/src/**/*.{vue,ts,js}";
```

### Build

[](#build)

```
npm run build
```

### Access

[](#access)

Navigate to `http://your-app.com/pdf-designer`

### Customizing the View

[](#customizing-the-view)

Publish the Blade view to customize it:

```
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=pdf-designer-views
```

This publishes `resources/views/vendor/pdf-designer/pdf-designer.blade.php` to your app.

Configuration
-------------

[](#configuration)

After publishing, edit `config/pdf-designer.php`:

```
// API prefix (default: api/pdf-designer)
'api_prefix' => env('PDF_DESIGNER_API_PREFIX', 'api/pdf-designer'),

// Storage disk for generated PDFs
'storage' => [
    'disk' => env('PDF_DESIGNER_STORAGE_DISK', 'local'),
    'path' => env('PDF_DESIGNER_STORAGE_PATH', 'pdf-documents'),
],

// PDF engine selection per template
'pdf-engine' => [
    'enabled' => env('PDF_DESIGNER_PDF_ENGINE_ENABLED', true),
    'default_font' => env('PDF_DESIGNER_PDF_ENGINE_FONT', 'dejavusans'),
],
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

### Programmatic (Facade)

[](#programmatic-facade)

```
use Toolreport\Core\Facades\PdfDesigner;
use Toolreport\Core\Models\PdfTemplate;

$template = PdfTemplate::find(1);

// Render a single template
$document = PdfDesigner::renderTemplate($template, [
    'company' => 'Acme Corp',
    'total' => '$1,234.56',
], 'Invoice #1001');

// The returned PdfDocument has file_path and file_size
echo $document->file_path; // e.g. pdf-documents/acme-corp_1.pdf
```

MethodEndpointDescription`GET``/health`API health checkPDF Engines
-----------

[](#pdf-engines)

ToolReport Core supports two rendering engines:

- **DomPDF** (default) — HTML-to-PDF rendering via `barryvdh/laravel-dompdf`. Good for simple layouts.
- **PDF Engine** (TCPDF composite) — Component-based rendering via `tecnickcom/tc-lib-pdf`. Better for complex layouts with precise positioning.

Set the engine per template via the `engine` field (`dompdf` or `pdf-engine`).

Testing
