## DOMPDF Wrapper for Laravel 5

### Laravel wrapper for [Dompdf HTML to PDF Converter](https://github.com/dompdf/dompdf)

Require this package in your composer.json and update composer. This will download the package and the dompdf + fontlib libraries also.

    composer require barryvdh/laravel-dompdf

## Installation

### Laravel 5.x:

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

    Barryvdh\DomPDF\ServiceProvider::class,

You can optionally use the facade for shorter code. Add this to your facades:

    'PDF' => Barryvdh\DomPDF\Facade::class,

### Lumen:

After updating composer add the following lines to register provider in `bootstrap/app.php`

  ```
  $app->register(\Barryvdh\DomPDF\ServiceProvider::class);
  ```
  
To change the configuration, copy the config file to your config folder and enable it in `bootstrap/app.php`:

  ```
  $app->configure('dompdf');
  ```
  
## Using

You can create a new DOMPDF instance and load a HTML string, file or view name. You can save it to a file, or stream (show in browser) or download.

    $pdf = App::make('dompdf.wrapper');
    $pdf->loadHTML('<h1>Test</h1>');
    return $pdf->stream();

Or use the facade:

    $pdf = PDF::loadView('pdf.invoice', $data);
    return $pdf->download('invoice.pdf');

You can chain the methods:

    return PDF::loadFile(public_path().'/myfile.html')->save('/path-to/my_stored_file.pdf')->stream('download.pdf');

You can change the orientation and paper size, and hide or show errors (by default, errors are shown when debug is on)

    PDF::loadHTML($html)->setPaper('a4', 'landscape')->setWarnings(false)->save('myfile.pdf')

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.

Use `php artisan vendor:publish` to create a config file located at `config/dompdf.php` which will allow you to define local configurations to change some settings (default paper etc).
You can also use your ConfigProvider to set certain keys.

### Configuration
The defaults configuration settings are set in `config/dompdf.php`. Copy this file to your own config directory to modify the values. You can publish the config using this command:

    php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Barryvdh\DomPDF\ServiceProvider"

You can still alter the dompdf options in your code before generating the pdf using this command:

    PDF::setOptions(['dpi' => 150, 'defaultFont' => 'sans-serif']);

* __rootDir__: "{app_directory}/vendor/dompdf/dompdf"

### Tip: Page breaks
You can use the CSS `page-break-before`/`page-break-after` properties to create a new page.

    <style>
    .page-break {
        page-break-after: always;
    }
    </style>
    <h1>Page 1</h1>
    <div class="page-break"></div>
    <h1>Page 2</h1>
