Filament LaTeX

Compatibility

Demo

Filament LaTeX is a powerful package that allows you to generate PDFs from LaTeX templates. The plugin is still in development, but the basic functionality is implemented.

Installation

[!IMPORTANT] This branch is only compatible with Filament v3. If you are using Filament v4, please switch to branch 4.x.

Compiler Installation

Before you start, make sure you have texlive-full or texlive-base installed on your system. You can install it on a Unix-based system (Linux/macOS) by running:

sudo apt-get install texlive-full # for debian based systems
sudo pacman -S texlive-full # for arch based systems
brew install texlive-full # for MacOS

If you are on Windows, then please visit the TeX Live website and follow the instructions.
After you have installed texlive, find where the pdflatex binary is located by running this in your console:

which pdflatex # for Unix based systems
where pdflatex # for Windows

Copy the path. You will later need to paste it in the plugin configuration file.

Package Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require thethunderturner/filament-latex

With the installation command, the package will automatically publish the migrations and the config file.

php artisan filament-latex:install

Optionally, you can publish them individually:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag="filament-latex-migrations"
php artisan migrate

You can publish the config file with:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag="filament-latex-config"

After publishing the path, make sure you replace the path of your pdflatex binary in the config/filament-latex.php file.

Optionally, you can publish the views using

php artisan vendor:publish --tag="filament-latex-views"

Package Usage

You can use the package by adding it to the plugins list of your panel.

->plugins([
    // ...
    FilamentLatexPlugin::make(),
]);

You also need a custom theme to compile some of the tailwind classes. You need to add the path of the blade views in the content array of tailwind.config.js of your theme like so:

@source '../../../../vendor/thethunderturner/filament-latex/resources/views/**/*.blade.php';

Documentation

You can override the default resource by specifying the new resource in the callback of the plugin:

FilamentLatexPlugin::make()
    ->resource('path/to/your/resource')

Your new resource should extend the default FilamentLatexResource class.

Now we just need to compile the tailwind classes

npm install
npm run build
