Html2Media is a powerful Laravel Livewire package that allows you to generate PDFs, preview documents, and directly print content from your application. 🚀

📌 Overview

The Html2Media package provides flexible Livewire components for your Laravel applications, enabling:

📑 PDF Generation: Convert HTML to a PDF and download it.
🖨️ Direct Printing: Print HTML content directly from the application.
👀 Document Preview: Preview the content before printing or exporting.

✨ Features

🎨 Customizable File Naming: Define a custom name for the generated PDF.
🔍 Preview & Print Options: Preview the content before printing or saving as a PDF.
📏 Page Configuration: Adjust page orientation, size, margins, and scaling.
🛠️ Advanced PDF Options: Control page breaks, hyperlink inclusion, and more.
⚡ Livewire Integration: Seamless integration with Livewire components and events.

🔧 Installation

To install the package, simply run the following command:

composer require xslain/html2media

After installation, publish the assets:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=html2media-assets

The Html2Media components will be automatically registered with Livewire.

🚀 Basic Usage

Method 1: Using the Livewire Component

You can use the Html2Media Livewire component directly in your Blade templates:

// In your Livewire component or controller
public function render()
{
    return view('your-view', [
        'record' => $this->record
    ]);
}

<!-- In your Blade template -->
@livewire('html2media', [
    'record' => $record,
    'content' => view('your-pdf-template', ['record' => $record])
])

Method 2: Using the Button Component

For a simple button that triggers PDF generation:

@livewire('html2media-button', [
    'record' => $record,
    'label' => 'Download Invoice',
    'content' => view('invoice-template', ['record' => $record])
])

Method 3: Creating Custom Livewire Components

Create your own Livewire component that uses the Html2Media trait:

<?php

namespace App\Http\Livewire;

use Livewire\Component;
use Xslain\Html2Media\Traits\HasHtml2MediaBase;

class InvoicePdfGenerator extends Component
{
    use HasHtml2MediaBase;

    public $invoice;

    public function mount($invoice)
    {
        $this->invoice = $invoice;
        
        // Configure the PDF settings
        $this->content(fn() => view('invoices.pdf', ['invoice' => $this->invoice]))
             ->filename('invoice-' . $this->invoice->id)
             ->orientation('portrait')
             ->format('a4')
             ->savePdf(true)
             ->print(true);
    }

    public function render()
    {
        return view('livewire.invoice-pdf-generator');
    }

    public function getElementId(): string
    {
        return 'invoice-' . $this->invoice->id;
    }

    public function downloadPdf()
    {
        $this->dispatch('triggerPrint', ...$this->getDispatchOptions('savePdf'));
    }

    public function printInvoice()
    {
        $this->dispatch('triggerPrint', ...$this->getDispatchOptions('print'));
    }
}

⚙️ Configuration Methods

Here's how you can customize your Html2Media components!
