## Snappy PDF/Image Wrapper for Laravel 5 and Lumen 5.1 This package is a ServiceProvider for Snappy: [https://github.com/KnpLabs/snappy](https://github.com/KnpLabs/snappy). ### Wkhtmltopdf Installation Choose one of the following options to install wkhtmltopdf/wkhtmltoimage. 1. Download wkhtmltopdf from [here](http://wkhtmltopdf.org/downloads.html); 2. Or install as a composer dependency. See [wkhtmltopdf binary as composer dependencies](https://github.com/KnpLabs/snappy#wkhtmltopdf-binary-as-composer-dependencies) for more information. #### Attention! Please note that some dependencies (libXrender for example) may not be present on your system and may require manual installation. ### Testing the wkhtmltopdf installation After installing you should be able to run wkhtmltopdf from the command line / shell. If you went for the second option the binaries will be at `/vendor/h4cc/wkhtmltoimage-amd64/bin` and `/vendor/h4cc/wkhtmltopdf-amd64/bin`. #### Attention vagrant users! Move the binaries to a path that is not in a synced folder, for example: ```bash cp vendor/h4cc/wkhtmltoimage-amd64/bin/wkhtmltoimage-amd64 /usr/local/bin/ cp vendor/h4cc/wkhtmltopdf-amd64/bin/wkhtmltopdf-amd64 /usr/local/bin/ ``` and make it executable: ```bash chmod +x /usr/local/bin/wkhtmltoimage-amd64 chmod +x /usr/local/bin/wkhtmltopdf-amd64 ``` This will prevent the error 126. ### Package Installation Require this package in your composer.json and update composer. ```bash composer require barryvdh/laravel-snappy ``` ### Laravel **Laravel 5.5** uses Package Auto-Discovery, so doesn't require you to manually add the ServiceProvider/Facade. If you also use laravel-dompdf, watch out for conflicts. It could be better to manually register the Facade. After updating composer, add the ServiceProvider to the providers array in config/app.php ```php Barryvdh\Snappy\ServiceProvider::class, ``` Optionally you can use the Facade for shorter code. Add this to your facades: ```php 'PDF' => Barryvdh\Snappy\Facades\SnappyPdf::class, 'SnappyImage' => Barryvdh\Snappy\Facades\SnappyImage::class, ``` Finally you can publish the config file: ```bash php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Barryvdh\Snappy\ServiceProvider" ``` ### Snappy config file The main change to this config file (config/snappy.php) will be the path to the binaries. For example, when loaded with composer, the line should look like: ```php 'binary' => base_path('vendor/h4cc/wkhtmltopdf-amd64/bin/wkhtmltopdf-amd64'), ``` If you followed the vagrant steps, the line should look like: ```php 'binary' => '/usr/local/bin/wkhtmltopdf-amd64', ``` For windows users you'll have to add double quotes to the bin path for wkhtmltopdf: ```php 'binary' => '"C:\Program Files\wkhtmltopdf\bin\wkhtmltopdf"' ``` ### Lumen In `bootstrap/app.php` add: ```php class_alias('Barryvdh\Snappy\Facades\SnappyPdf', 'PDF'); $app->register(Barryvdh\Snappy\LumenServiceProvider::class); ``` Optionally, add the facades like so: ```php class_alias(Barryvdh\Snappy\Facades\SnappyPdf::class, 'PDF'); class_alias(Barryvdh\Snappy\Facades\SnappyImage::class, 'SnappyImage'); ``` To customise the configuration file, copy the file `/vendor/barryvdh/laravel-snappy/config/snappy.php` to the `/config` folder. ### Usage You can create a new Snappy PDF/Image instance and load a HTML string, file or view name. You can save it to a file, or inline (show in browser) or download. Using the App container: ```php $snappy = App::make('snappy.pdf'); //To file $html = '
You owe me money, dude.
'; $snappy->generateFromHtml($html, '/tmp/bill-123.pdf'); $snappy->generate('http://www.github.com', '/tmp/github.pdf'); //Or output: return new Response( $snappy->getOutputFromHtml($html), 200, array( 'Content-Type' => 'application/pdf', 'Content-Disposition' => 'attachment; filename="file.pdf"' ) ); ``` Using the wrapper: ```php $pdf = App::make('snappy.pdf.wrapper'); $pdf->loadHTML('
