Sands\Presenter\PDF

Sands Laravel Presenter plugin to respond with PDF files. PDFs are generated using the awesome Laravel DOMPDF package.

Installation

$ composer require sands/laravel-presenter-pdf

Make sure Sands\Presenter has been properly installed.

In config/app.php add Sands\Presenter\PDF\PDFPresenterServiceProvider after the Sands\Presenter\PresenterServiceProvider inside the providers array:

'providers' => [
     ...
     Sands\Presenter\PresenterServiceProvider::class,
     Sands\Presenter\PDF\PDFPresenterServiceProvider::class,
     ...
]

Usage

This plugin allows you to easily create PDF exports.

Let's say you have a UsersController with the below method:

public function index()
{
    return $this->present(['users' => User::all()])
        ->setOption('pdf.view', 'users.pdfs.index')
        ->setOption('pdf.download', false)
        ->setOption('pdf.fileName', 'User Reports')
        ->using('blade', 'pdf');
}

The pdf.view determines the blade view to be used for PDF generation.

When the user visits /users?format=pdf, the User Reports.pdf file will be streamed to their browser.

Alternatively if you want the pdf to be downloaded, you can use setOption('pdf.download', true).

The pdf.fileName determines the generated download file name.
