MarkdownPdfBuilder

Convert Markdown files into PDF. The Markdown is first converted to HTML using league/commonmark, then rendered to PDF via Chrome.

Basic usage

Twig wrapper

Wrap your Markdown content in a Twig template:

<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
    <head>
        <meta charset="utf-8">
        <title>My PDF</title>
    </head>
    <body>
        {{ markdown_content }}
    </body>
</html>

namespace App\Controller;

use Daif\ChromePdfBundle\ChromePdfInterface;

class YourController
{
    public function yourControllerMethod(ChromePdfInterface $chromePdf): Response
    {
        return $chromePdf->markdown()
            ->wrapper('wrapper.html.twig', [
                'my_var' => 'value'
            ])
            ->files('content.md')
            ->generate()
            ->stream()
         ;
    }
}

HTML wrapper

<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
    <head>
        <meta charset="utf-8">
        <title>My PDF</title>
    </head>
    <body>
        <!-- Markdown content will be inserted here -->
    </body>
</html>

namespace App\Controller;

use Daif\ChromePdfBundle\ChromePdfInterface;

class YourController
{
    public function yourControllerMethod(ChromePdfInterface $chromePdf): Response
    {
        return $chromePdf->markdown()
            ->wrapperFile('../templates/wrapper.html')
            ->files('content.md')
            ->generate()
            ->stream()
         ;
    }
}
