Package Installation

Require this package in your composer.json and update composer.

Laravel

Laravel 5.5 uses Package Auto-Discovery, so doesn't require you to manually add the ServiceProvider/Facade. If you also use laravel-dompdf, watch out for conflicts. It could be better to manually register the Facade.

After updating composer, add the ServiceProvider to the providers array in config/app.php

Optionally you can use the Facade for shorter code. Add this to your facades:

Finally you can publish the config file:

Snappy config file

The main change to this config file (config/snappy.php) will be the path to the binaries.

For example, when loaded with composer, the line should look like:

If you followed the vagrant steps, the line should look like:

For windows users you'll have to add double quotes to the bin path for wkhtmltopdf:

Lumen
