How to install

[!NOTE] You first need to install and configure Gotenberg 8.x by yourself.

Install the bundle using composer:

composer require sensiolabs/gotenberg-bundle

With Symfony Flex

If you accept the Symfony Flex recipe during installation:

The bundle will be automatically registered.
A configuration skeleton file will be created.
Docker Compose will be updated with a new gotenberg service.
The .env file will be updated with a GOTENBERG_DSN value pointing to gotenberg:3000. You can update this value if your Gotenberg instance is hosted elsewhere.

Without Symfony Flex

Manually enable the bundle by adding it to the list of registered bundles in your config/bundles.php file:

// config/bundles.php

return [
    // ...
    Sensiolabs\GotenbergBundle\SensiolabsGotenbergBundle::class => ['all' => true],
];

Create a configuration and adapt to your needs:

# ./config/packages/sensiolabs_gotenberg.yaml

framework:
    http_client:
        scoped_clients:
            gotenberg.client:
                base_uri: 'http://gotenberg:3000'

sensiolabs_gotenberg:
    http_client: 'gotenberg.client'

Basic Usage

PDF

You can generate a PDF locally from URL, HTML, Markdown or any Office files.

URL

After injecting GotenbergPdfInterface you simply need to call the method url, which will return a UrlPdfBuilder instance.

UrlPdfBuilder lets you pass the URL of the page you want to convert into PDF to the method url.

namespace App\Controller;

use Sensiolabs\GotenbergBundle\GotenbergPdfInterface;

class YourController
{
    public function yourControllerMethod(GotenbergPdfInterface $gotenberg): Response
    {
        return $gotenberg->url()
            ->url('https://sensiolabs.com/fr/')
            ->generate()
            ->stream() // will return directly a stream response
        ;
    }
}

[!TIP] For more information go to Gotenberg documentations.

Twig

[!WARNING] Every Twig template you pass to Gotenberg must have the following structure. Even Header or Footer parts.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
    <head>
        <meta charset="utf-8" />
        <title>My PDF</title>
    </head>
    <body>
        
    </body>
</html>

namespace App\Controller;

use Sensiolabs\GotenbergBundle\GotenbergPdfInterface;

class YourController
{
    public function yourControllerMethod(GotenbergPdfInterface $gotenberg): Response
    {
        return $gotenberg->html()
            ->content('twig_simple_pdf.html.twig', [
                'my_var' => 'value'
            ])
            ->generate()
            ->stream() // will return directly a stream response
        ;
    }
}

If a template needs to link to a static asset (e.g. an image), this bundle provides a {{ gotenberg_asset() }} Twig function to generate the correct path AND add it to the builder automatically.

This function work as asset() Twig function and fetch your assets in the assets folder of your application. If your files are in another folder, you can override the default value of assets_directory in your configuration file config/sensiolabs_gotenberg.yml. The path provided can be relative as well as absolute.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="utf-8"/>
    <title>PDF body</title>
</head>
<body>
    <main>
        <h1>Hello world!</h1>
        <img src="{{ gotenberg_asset('public/img/ceo.jpeg') }}" alt="CEO"/>
        <img src="{{ gotenberg_asset('public/img/admin.jpeg') }}" alt="Admin"/>
    </main>
</body>
</html>

class YourController
{
    public function yourControllerMethod(GotenbergScreenshotInterface $gotenberg): Response

            ->content('twig_simple_pdf.html.twig', [
                 'my_var' => 'value'
            ])
