- Add MpdfPortBundle repository to your deps file:
[MpdfPortBundle]
git=https://github.com/tasmanianfox/MpdfPortBundle.git
target=/bundles/TFox/Bundle/MpdfPortBundle
- Run Vendors install utility in your Symfony2 directory:
php bin/vendors install- Register MpdfPortBundle's namespace in /app/autoload.php:
$loader->registerNamespaces(array(
'TFox' => __DIR__.'/../vendor/bundles'
/*
* Another declarations here
*/
));- Register MpdfPortBundle in /app/AppKernel.php:
public function registerBundles()
{
$bundles = array(
/*
* Another declarations here
*/
new TFox\Bundle\MpdfPortBundle\MpdfPortBundle()
);
}
- Add a link to bundle in configuration file /app/config/config.yml:
imports:
#Another declarations here
\- { resource: @MpdfPortBundle/Resources/config/services.yml }
To create an instance of mPDF class, call mpdfport service's method getMPdf():
$mpdf = $this->get('mpdfport')->getMPdf();
Further information about mPDF class usage you can find on mPDF's manual page: http://mpdf1.com/manual/index.php
Here is a small example of PDF file generation:
/**
* Defining action inside some controller
* @Route("/document.pdf")
*/
public function pdfAction() {
//Obtaining an object of mPDF class
$mpdf = $this->get('mpdfport')->getMPdf();
//Declaration of PDF document's contents
$html = "<html><head></head><body>Hello World!</body></html>";
//Writing contents into mPDF object
$mpdf->WriteHTML($html, 0);
//Receiving generated PDF document
$content = $mpdf->Output('', 'S');
/*
* Generation of response object, assigning content of respone and setting response's MIME-type to PDF
*/
$response = new Response();
$response->setContent($content);
$response->headers->set('Content-Type', 'application/pdf');
return $response;
}
