How use dompdf to generate a simple invoice pdf?

#php #html #css #dompdf

At this moment to understand the basis in composer I have decided to create a simple pdf generator with Dompdf package.

This package is awesome and simple, to create a pdf invoice solution for download or create an automatic invoice delivery system.

The idea for monetization:
A create simple auth token system with API_KEY and token to receive JSON data for generating pdf in a simple PHP hosting.
Free hosting for testing this:

Ok, the code:

Step 1:

run this, for a run this you need to install composer
composer require dompdf/dompdf
The Dompdf documentation: :
Dompdf Documentation

Step 2:

Load vendor.autoload.php package

require'vendor/autoload.php';

Step 3:

Use the main class to create functionalities

// Cargar paquete para usar el modulo de DompdfuseDompdf\Dompdf;useDompdf\Options;

Create an instance of the class Dompdf

$dompdf=newDompdf();

Enable remote origins (for download image)

If not enable this, the image not render in the pdf file and break the template format preset

$options=newOptions();$options->set('isRemoteEnabled',true);$dompdf=newDompdf($options);

Step 4:

Create an HTML template, with a text string

$htmlTemplate='<style>//all styles for the custom template </style><html>  <head>    <htmlcontent>    .......</html>';

To pass dynamic vars using this format into the string

'.$contenidoDinamico.'

For creating bucle with PHP array using the other var to generate a string with Concat operator (htmlinfo.= 'bucleGetInfo') or array method to push data
