Configuration

The library needs information in order to connect to the PDFreactor REST service.

• API PORT - Port number the server is listening on (default: 9423)
• API KEY - Your API key to access the service (OPTIONAL).
• ADMIN KEY - A key that is required if you use the server monitor API.

Laravel

Publish the PDFreactor config

php artisan vendor:publish

Add pdfreactor settings to .env and/or .env.example

PDFREACTOR_HOST=http://mypdfreactorserver.com
PDFREACTOR_PORT=9423
PDFREACTOR_KEY=
PDFREACTOR_ADMIN_KEY=

(Optional) Add an Alias for PDFreactor

// config/app.php
[
    'aliases' => [
        'PDFreactor'    => StepStone\PDFreactor\Facades\PDFreactor::class,
    ],
]

Usage

Vanilla PHP

use StepStone\PDFreactor\PDFreactor;

$pdfreactor = new PDFreactor($host, $port);

Converting a document async with a config array

$config = [
    'document'  => file_get_contents('data_to_convert.html'),
]

$result = $pdfreactor->convertAsync($config);

Convert a document async with a Convertable object.

use StepStone\PDFreactor\Convertable;

// from a file
$config = Convertable::create('<p>My PDF</p>');
// or read from a file - Convertable::createFromFile('data_to_convert.html');

$result = $pdfreactor->convertAsync($config);

Laravel & Lumen

use PDFreactor;
use StepStone\PDFreactor\Convertable;

$config = Convertable::create('<p>My PDF</p>');

$result = PDFreactor::convertAsync($config);
