Y-PDF
=====

[](#y-pdf)

A Laravel-ready package that uses a headless Chromium instance to render **full HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Bootstrap, Tailwind, and jQuery experiences** into pixel-perfect PDFs. Stop fighting traditional PHP PDF libraries that ignore styles — render the same markup your frontend already produces.

Highlights
----------

[](#highlights)

- Uses [chrome-php/chrome](https://github.com/chrome-php/chrome), so anything Chromium can paint (Vue, React, Livewire, Blade + Tailwind, etc.) will appear in the PDF.
- Simple API: `YPdf::renderFromView()` and `YPdf::renderFromHtml()` return binary data or save directly to disk.
- Configurable viewport, margins, background printing, sandbox flags, and custom wait strategies before capturing the PDF.
- Ships with a publishable config file so each project can point to its own Chromium binary, temp directory, and timeouts.
- Designed to live inside its own repository — drop this folder into a separate git repo, push to GitHub, and submit to Packagist. Afterwards, require it in any Laravel app with Composer.

Installation (after publishing to Packagist)
--------------------------------------------

[](#installation-after-publishing-to-packagist)

```
composer require yassin/ypdf

# Install the headless Chrome adapter only if you plan to use it
composer require chrome-php/chrome

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=ypdf-config
```

Want to write your own driver or call a remote rendering API instead? Set `YPDF_DRIVER`to a custom driver name and bind an implementation of `YPdf\Contracts\PdfEngine` in a service provider—no Chromium dependency required.

Ensure Chromium is installed on the server, or point `HEADLESS_PDF_CHROME_BINARY` to a bundled binary. Example `.env` entries:

```
YPDF_CHROME_BINARY=/usr/bin/google-chrome-stable
YPDF_TEMP=/var/tmp/ypdf
YPDF_NO_SANDBOX=true

```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

```
use YPdf;

// Render a Blade view straight to disk
YPdf::renderFromViewToFile('pdfs.invoice', ['order' => $order], storage_path('app/pdfs/order.pdf'));

// Grab the binary and stream it to the browser
return response(
    YPdf::renderFromHtml($html),
    200,
    ['Content-Type' => 'application/pdf']
);
```

Need to render an authenticated page? Generate a signed URL and call `YPdf::renderFromUrl($url)`.

Roadmap
-------

[](#roadmap)

- Additional drivers (Playwright, remote rendering service)
- Queued rendering + retry helpers
- HTML pre-processors for asset inlining and critical CSS extraction
