Installation

With composer

This bundle can be installed using composer:

composer require garant/file-preview-generator-bundle

Register the bundle

<?php

// app/AppKernel.php

public function registerBundles()
{
    $bundles = array(

        // ...
        new Liip\ImagineBundle\LiipImagineBundle(),
        // ...
        new Garant\GarantFilePreviewGeneratorBundle\GarantFilePreviewGeneratorBundle(),
    );

    // ...
}

Configuration

You can add remote servers:

garant_file_preview_generator:
    #
    # Available algorithms: random, round_robin
    #server_select_algorithm: random
    #
    # Remote servers are used to generate file preview
    # To start generator server use "garant:file-preview-generator:server-start <server_name>" command
    #servers:
    #    local_unix:
    #        host: 0.0.0.0
    #        port: 9010
    #
    #    remote_windows:
    #        host: 192.168.10.201
    #        port: 9010
    #    
    #    remote_windows_secure:
    #        protocol: https 
    #        host: 192.168.10.201
    #        port: 9011

Optionally you can configure Liip imagine filters to post process preview images:

liip_imagine:
    filter_sets:
        avatar_square:
            filters:
                # Transforms 150x140 to 120x120, while cropping the width
                thumbnail: { size: [120, 120], mode: outbound }

Console commands

If remote server is configured you can start it. Call this command on remote server:

bin/console garant:file-preview-generator:server-start <server_name>

Also you can start server with -vvv flag to check memory usage and get other information about conversion process.

You can start some generators simultaneously and automatically restart processes using embedded supervisor:

bin/console garant:file-preview-generator:supervisor-start

Services

To generate preview you can use specific generator. Use the generator factory to create a generator that you need:

garant_file_preview_generator.remote_client - Remote client. 
garant_file_preview_generator.generator_factory - Factory service.

Example

$temp_file = new \SplFileObject('test.docx');

$factory = $this->container->get('garant_file_preview_generator.generator_factory');
$generator = $factory->get($temp_file, AbstractGenerator::PREVIEW_FORMAT_JPEG);
$jpeg_preview_file = $generator->generate($temp_file, AbstractGenerator::PREVIEW_FORMAT_JPEG);
if(!$jpeg_preview_file){
    $this->get('logger')->err('Preview attachment: Preview generation error');
    throw new \RuntimeException('Preview generation error');
}

dump($jpeg_preview_file);

// Generate filtered preview
$generator->setFilter('avatar_square');
$jpeg_preview_file = $generator->generate($temp_file, AbstractGenerator::PREVIEW_FORMAT_JPEG);

dump($jpeg_preview_file);

// Generate preview in PDF or other format
// see AbstractGenerator class constants
$generator = $factory->get($temp_file, AbstractGenerator::PREVIEW_FORMAT_PDF);
$pdf_preview_file = $generator->generate($temp_file, AbstractGenerator::PREVIEW_FORMAT_PDF);

// Optionally, you can convert range of pages
// $generator->setPageRange('0-2');
// Or set number of pages
// $generator->setPageCount(3);

dump($pdf_preview_file);
