Generate PDF from HTML in Laravel 5.7


(/blog/58/generate-pdf-from-html-in-laravel-5-7)
1 3

Today, I will share with you how to create a PDF file from HTML blade file in Laravel 5.7. We will be using dompdf package for generating the
PDF file.

In the below example, we will install barryvdh/laravel-dompdf using composer package and thereafter we will add new route url with
controller. Then we will create a blade file. Then after we have to just run project with serve and we can check the PDF file is for download.

Download Laravel 5.7 Now I am going to explain the step by step from scratch with laravel installation for dompdf. To get started, we need to
download fresh Laravel 5.7 application using command, so open our terminal and run the below command in the command prompt:

composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel blog Install laravel-dompdf Package Now we will install barryvdh/laravel-dompdf composer
package by using the following composer command in ourLlaravel 5.7 application.
composer require barryvdh/laravel-dompdf Then the package is successfully installed in our application, after that open config/app.php file
and we need to add alias and service provider.

config/app.php

'providers' => [ .... Barryvdh\DomPDF\ServiceProvider::class, ],

'aliases' => [ .... 'PDF' => Barryvdh\DomPDF\Facade::class, ] Create Routes Now we need to create routes for the items listing. so now open our
"routes/web.php" file and we need to add following route.

routes/web.php

Route::get('demo-generate-pdf','HomeController@demoGeneratePDF'); Create Controller Here,we need to create a new controller


HomeController (mostly it will be there, we can skip this step if we don't need to create a controller) that will manage our pdf generation using
the generatePDF() method of route.

app/Http/Controllers/HomeController.php

<?php namespace App\Http\Controllers; use Illuminate\Http\Request; use PDF;

class HomeController extends Controller { public function demoGeneratePDF() { $data = ['title' => 'Welcome to My Blog']; $pdf =
PDF::loadView('myPDF', $data);

return $pdf->download('demo.pdf'); } } Create Blade File In the final step, let us create demoPDF.blade.php in the
resources/views/demoPDF.blade.php for structure of pdf file and add the following code:

resources/views/demoPDF.blade.php

<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title>Hi</title> </head> <body> <h1>Welcome to My BLOG - {{ $title }}</h1> <p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet,
consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud

dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.
</p> </body> </html> Now run the below command for serve and test it:

php artisan serve
