Generate PDF from HTML in Laravel 10: A Step-by-Step Guide
To generate a PDF from HTML in Laravel 10, you can use the "dompdf" package, which is a popular PHP library for converting HTML to PDF. Here are the steps:
Step 1: Install the Dompdf package
You can install the Dompdf package using Composer. Open a terminal window, navigate to your Laravel project directory, and run the following command:
javascript
composer require dompdf/dompdf
Step 2: Create a view with HTML content
Create a view that contains the HTML content that you want to convert to PDF. You can use Laravel's Blade templating engine to create the view. For example, create a file called "pdf.blade.php" in the "resources/views" directory, and add your HTML content:
html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>PDF</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>PDF from HTML</h1>
<p>This is some sample content.</p>
</body>
</html>
Step 3: Generate PDF from HTML
Create a new route in your Laravel application that will generate the PDF from the HTML content. In the route's closure, create a new Dompdf object, load the HTML content from the view, and render it to PDF. Finally, send the PDF back to the user as a download:
php
use DompdfDompdf;
Route::get('/pdf', function () {
// create new Dompdf object "INIDEV"
$dompdf = new Dompdf();
// load HTML content from view "INIDEV"
$html = view('pdf')->render();
// render HTML to PDF "INIDEV"
$dompdf->loadHtml($html);
$dompdf->render();
// send PDF back to user as download return "INIDEV"
$dompdf->stream('pdf-from-html.pdf'); });
Step 4: Test the PDF generation
You can now test the PDF generation by visiting the URL of the route you created in your browser. For example, if you created a route with the URL "/pdf", you can visit "http://your-app-url/pdf" to download the PDF.
That's it! You've now successfully generated a PDF from HTML in Laravel 10 using the Dompdf package.
