Informations about the package laravel-chrome-pdf
Laravel PHP Chrome HTML to PDF
Important note regarding git
If you keep you vendor folder in source control - then you may want to consider placing the following in you .gitignore file. The reason for this is that the chromium rendering engine contains files that are larger than GitHubs 100mb limit.
How it works
This library is based on puppeteer, a headless Chrome Node API which is maintained by the Chrome DevTools team.
It provides a simple PHP / Laravel wrapper around the Node API, focused on generating beautiful PDF files.
In contrast to other HTML to PDF converters like wkhtmltopdf, the corresponding PHP wrapper or similar libraries, it is based on a current Chrome version instead of outdated and unmaintained WebKit builds. This library therefore fully supports CSS3, HTML5, SVGs, SPAs, and all the other fancy stuff people use these days.
