How to Convert Blade File Into Pdf And Image In Laravel?

4 minutes read

To convert a blade file into a PDF and image in Laravel, you can use a package like barryvdh/laravel-dompdf for PDF generation and intervention/image for image manipulation.


First, install the required packages using Composer:

1

composer require barryvdh/laravel-dompdf intervention/image


Next, create a route in your routes/web.php file to render the Blade file as a PDF:

 1
 2
 3
 4
 5
 6
 7
 8
 9
10

Route::get('/generate-pdf', function () {
    $data = [
        'title' => 'Sample PDF',
        'content' => 'This is a sample PDF generated from a Blade file.'
    ];

    $pdf = PDF::loadView('pdf.blade-file', $data);

    return $pdf->download('sample.pdf');
});


In your Blade file (resources/views/pdf.blade-file.blade.php), you can define the layout for the PDF:

 1
 2
 3
 4
 5
 6
 7
 8
 9
10

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>{{ $title }}</title>
</head>
<body>
    <h1>{{ $title }}</h1>
    <p>{{ $content }}</p>
</body>
</html>


To convert the Blade file into an image, use Intervention Image package in a similar way:

1
2
3
4
5

Route::get('/generate-image', function () {
    $img = Image::make('path/to/blade-file.blade.php')->encode('data-url');

    return $img->response();
});


Don't forget to replace 'path/to/blade-file.blade.php' with the actual path to your Blade file.


With these configurations, you can easily convert a Blade file into a PDF and image in Laravel.


How to convert a blade file into a high-resolution image in Laravel?

To convert a blade file into a high-resolution image in Laravel, you can use the Laravel Snappy package which provides a wrapper for the wkhtmltopdf and wkhtmltoimage libraries. Here's how you can do it:

  1. Install the Laravel Snappy package by running the following composer command:
1

composer require barryvdh/laravel-snappy


  1. Publish the configuration file by running the following artisan command:
1

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


  1. Configure the Snappy package in the config/snappy.php file. You can set the path to the wkhtmltoimage executable and any other options you may need.
  2. Create a route in your Laravel application that will render the blade file and convert it to an image. For example: 
1
2
3
4

6

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Artisan;

Route::get('/convert-to-image', function () {
    $html = view('your.blade.file')->render();
    return \PDF::loadHTML($html)->setPaper('a4')->download('image.png');
});


  1. Access the route in your browser to trigger the conversion process. The resulting high-resolution image will be downloaded automatically.


By following these steps, you can easily convert a blade file into a high-resolution image in Laravel using the Snappy package.


How to generate an image from a blade template in Laravel?

To generate an image from a Blade template in Laravel, you can use the following steps:

  1. Create a Blade view file containing the HTML and any dynamic content you want to display in the image. Make sure to include any necessary CSS styles and image assets.
  2. Use the view() function in your controller to render the Blade template and capture the output as a string.
  3. Use the SnappyImage package or any other image generation library (such as ImageMagick or GD) to convert the HTML output from the Blade template into an image format like PNG or JPEG.


Here is an example code snippet demonstrating how to generate an image from a Blade template using the SnappyImage package:

 1

use Knp\Snappy\Image;

public function generateImage()
{
    $html = view('your-blade-template')->render();

    $image = new Image('/path/to/wkhtmltoimage'); // path to wkhtmltoimage binary
    $image->generateFromHtml($html, 'output.png');

    return response()->download('output.png')->deleteFileAfterSend(true);
}


Make sure to install the knp/snappy package by running the following composer command:

1

composer require knp/snappy


Replace your-blade-template with the name of your Blade template file. You will also need to specify the path to the wkhtmltoimage binary file in the Image constructor.


After generating the image, the generateImage() method returns the image file as a downloadable response. You can modify the code according to your requirements and configure the image generation library as needed.


What is the process of converting a blade file into an image in Laravel?

To convert a blade file into an image in Laravel, you can follow these steps:

  1. Create a new blade file or use an existing one that you want to convert into an image.
  2. Use the file_get_contents function to read the contents of the blade file. For example: 
1

$html = file_get_contents(resource_path('views/your-blade-file.blade.php'));


  1. Use the SnappyImage class from the barryvdh/laravel-snappy package to convert the HTML content to an image. Install the package using Composer:
1

composer require barryvdh/laravel-snappy


  1. Add the SnappyImage facade to your Laravel config file config/app.php:
1
2
3

'aliases' => [
    'SnappyImage' => Barryvdh\Snappy\Facades\SnappyImage::class,
]


  1. Use the make method to create the image from the HTML content:
1

$image = SnappyImage::loadHTML($html)->output();


  1. Save the image to a file or output it as a response. For example, you can save the image to a file using the file_put_contents function:
1

file_put_contents('image.jpg', $image);


  1. You can now access the newly created image file with your converted blade content.


Please note that the barryvdh/laravel-snappy package requires wkhtmltopdf installed on your server to convert HTML content to an image. Make sure to follow the installation instructions for wkhtmltopdf for your specific server environment.
