Usage

The service PlusForta\PdfBundle\PlusFortaPdfRenderer can be used via dependency injection (public service). To render a template (currently only Twig and mPdf are supported):

public function render(PlusForta\PdfBundle\PlusFortaPdfRenderer $pdf)
{
    $pdf->render($templateName, $context);
}

$templateName is the path to a Twig template (e.g. pdf/application.html.twig). $context is the context that is passed on to the Twig template (e.g. ['firstName' => 'Max', 'name' => 'Mustermann']).

Settings

The settings can be set in plusforta_pdf.yaml:

plusforta_pdf:
    template_directory: <relative path to templates>
    file_extension: <template extension>
    direct_mode: <true|false>

Currently, 3 main settings are possible:

• template_directory
• file_extension
• direct_mode

template_directory

With template_directory you can specify a relative path where the templates (current twig templates) can be found. The path is relative to the default_path of Twig.

file_extension

With file_extension the file extension of the template files can be defined (e.g. html.twig).

With the combination of template_directory and file_extension, templates can be reduced to the name

instead of

$pdf->render('pdf/application.html.twig');

with the following settings

template_dir = pdf
file_extension = html.twig

then the following works identically:

$pdf->render('application'); 

direct_mode

Currently direct mode has no effect.
