README

PhpWeasyPrint is a PHP (7.4+) wrapper for WeasyPrint PDF generator. It allows you to generate PDF files from HTML string or URL.

The WeasyPrintBundle provides a simple integration for your Symfony project.

This bundle is massively inspired by KnpLabs/KnpSnappyBundle, of which it aims to be a one-to-one substitute

Installation

With composer, require:

composer require pontedilana/weasyprint-bundle

Then enable it in your kernel (a flex recipe is coming soon):

// config/bundles.php
<?php

return [
    //...
    Pontedilana\WeasyprintBundle\WeasyprintBundle::class => ['all' => true],
    //...
];

Configuration

If you need to change the binaries, change the instance options or even disable one or both services, you can do it through the configuration.

# config/packages/weasyprint.yaml
weasyprint:
    pdf:
        enabled:    true
        binary:     /usr/local/bin/weasyprint
        options:    []

If you want to change temporary folder which is sys_get_temp_dir() by default, you can use

# config/packages/weasyprint.yaml
weasyprint:
    temporary_folder: "%kernel.cache_dir%/weasyprint"

You can also configure the timeout used by the generators with process_timeout:

# config/packages/weasyprint.yaml
weasyprint:
    process_timeout: 20 # In seconds

Usage

The bundle registers one service:

• the weasyprint.pdf service allows you to generate pdf files.

Generate a pdf document from a URL

// @var Pontedilana\PhpWeasyPrint\Pdf
$weasyprintPdf->generate('https://www.github.com', '/path/to/the/file.pdf');

Generate a pdf document from a twig view

// @var Pontedilana\PhpWeasyPrint\Pdf
$weasyprintPdf->generateFromHtml(
    $this->renderView(
        'frontend/product/pdf.html.twig',
        [
            'some'  => $vars,
        ]
    ),
    '/path/to/the/file.pdf'
);

Render a pdf document as response from a controller

use Pontedilana\WeasyprintBundle\WeasyPrint\Response\PdfResponse;
use Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\Controller\AbstractController;

class SomeController extends AbstractController
{
    public function pdfAction(Pontedilana\PhpWeasyPrint\Pdf $weasyprintPdf)
    {
        $html = $this->renderView(
            'frontend/product/pdf.html.twig',
            [
                'some'  => $vars,
            ]
        );

        return new PdfResponse(
            $weasyprintPdf->getOutputFromHtml($html),
            'file.pdf'
        );
    }
}

Render a pdf document with a relative url inside like css files or images

use Pontedilana\WeasyprintBundle\WeasyPrint\Response\PdfResponse;
use Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\Controller\AbstractController;

class SomeController extends AbstractController
{
    public function pdfAction(Pontedilana\PhpWeasyPrint\Pdf $weasyprintPdf)
    {
        $pageUrl = $this->generateUrl('homepage', [], true); // use absolute path!

        return new PdfResponse(
            $weasyprintPdf->getOutput($pageUrl),
            'file.pdf'
        );
    }
}
