Laravel 5 PDFTK Integration with custom functions
Requires
- php: >=5.4.0
- illuminate/support: 8.* || ~9.0 || ~10.0 || ~11.0
README
This repository implements a simple ServiceProvider that creates a singleton instance of the Fpdf PDF library - easily accessible via a Facade in Laravel 5.
See FPDF homepage for more information about the usage.
Installation using Composer
$ composer require codedge/laravel-fpdf
Usage
To use the static interfaces (facades) you need to add the following lines to your config/app.php. The [1] is for
registering the service provider, the [2] are for specifying the facades:
// config/app.php
return [
//...
'providers' => [
// ...
/*
* Application Service Providers...
*/
// ...
Codedge\Fpdf\FpdfServiceProvider::class, // [1]
],
// ...
'aliases' => [
// ...
'Fpdf' => Codedge\Fpdf\Facades\Fpdf::class, // [2]
]
Now you can use the facades in your application.
Configuration (optional)
Run
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Codedge\Fpdf\FpdfServiceProvider" --tag=config
to publish the configuration file to config/fpdf.php.
Open this file and enter the correct page settings, if you do not want the defaults.
Basic example
If you want to use the facade you can see a basic example here:
// app/Http/routes.php | app/routes/web.php
Route::get('/', function () {
Fpdf::AddPage();
Fpdf::SetFont('Courier', 'B', 18);
Fpdf::Cell(50, 25, 'Hello World!');
Fpdf::Output();
});
Of course you can also inject the singleton instance via dependency injection. See an example here:
// app/Http/routes.php | app/routes/web.php
Route::get('/', function (Codedge\Fpdf\Fpdf\Fpdf $fpdf) {
$fpdf->AddPage();
$fpdf->SetFont('Courier', 'B', 18);
$fpdf->Cell(50, 25, 'Hello World!');
$fpdf->Output();
});
