Quick start with Laravel

Most HTML-to-PDF converters in PHP either have limited support for HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, or rely on wkhtmltopdf, which is no longer maintained. Doppio gives you a simpler alternative.

Render PDF

Using Doppio is simpler than maintaining a third-party package. In practice, all you need to do is send an HTTP request.

You can wrap the Doppio call in a service class:

<?php

namespace App\Services;

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Http;

class PdfService
{
    protected $apiEndpoint;
    protected $authToken;

    public function __construct()
    {
        $this->apiEndpoint = 'https://api.doppio.sh/v1/render/pdf/direct';
        $this->authToken = env('DOPPIO_AUTH_TOKEN'); // set it in your .env file
    }

    public function createPdf($data)
    {
        // Send a request to the Doppio API
        $response = Http::post($this->apiEndpoint, $data);

        if ($response->successful()) {
            return $response->body(); // or ->download('filename.pdf')
        } else {
            // Handle errors, for example by throwing an exception or returning a custom message
            throw new \Exception('Failed to generate PDF: ' . $response->body());
        }
    }
}

Then you can use the service like this:

$data = [
    'page' => [
        'pdf' => [
            'printBackground' => 'true'
        ],
        'goto' => [
            'url' => 'https://your-url',
            'options' => [
                'waitUntil' => [
                    'networkidle0',
                ],
            ],
        ],
    ],
];

$pdf = $this->pdfService->createPdf($data);

Check the synchronous and asynchronous methods to decide which one best fits your project.
