If you use only one package a project is not needed. But if you use more then one package, without a project it is not possible to import the classes with use statements.

Some PHP packages are not free to download and because of that hosted in private repositories. In this case some credentials are needed to access such packages. Please use the auth.json textarea to insert credentials, if a package is coming from a private repository. You can look here for more information.

  • To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
  • Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
  • If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.

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

In bootstrap/app.php add:

Optionally, add the facades like so:

To customise the configuration file, copy the file /vendor/barryvdh/laravel-snappy/config/snappy.php to the /config folder.

Usage

Using the App container:

Using the wrapper:

Or use the facade:

You can chain the methods:

You can change the orientation and paper size

If you need the output as a string, you can get the rendered PDF with the output() function, so you can save/output it yourself.

See the wkhtmltopdf manual for more information/settings.
