In this Article, how to create dynamic PDF and Sending PDF attached by Email in Laravel. We will help you to give example of generate PDF and send Email.

First of all we can install barryvdh/laravel-dompdf package from composer command in your Laravel application.

composer require barryvdh/laravel-dompdf

 

After successfully install package and open config/app.php file and add this:

‘providers’=>[

             Barryvdh\DomPDF\ServiceProvider::class

]

‘aliases’=>[

            ‘PDF’ => Barryvdh\DomPDF\Facade::class

]

 

After Setting up mail server details in .env file. You have to add send mail configuration with mail driver, mail host, mail port, mail username, mail password.

MAIL_DRIVER=smtp

MAIL_HOST=smtp.hostinger.in

MAIL_PORT=XXX

MAIL_USERNAME=abc@example.com

MAIL_PASSWORD=XXXX

MAIL_ENCRYPTION=tls

 

After open routes/web.php and controller URL:

Route::get(‘send_mail_with_pdf’,’Mail_pdf@index’);

 

After create Controller file Mail_pdf.php name:

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

 

use Illuminate\Http\Request;

use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\DB;

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;

// for pdf

use Barryvdh\DomPDF\Facade as PDF;

//for mail

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Mail;

use Illuminate\Mail\Mailable;

 

class Mail_pdf extends Controller {

    function index(Request $request) {

        $user = DB::table('users')

                ->select('*')

                ->first();

        $data['username'] = $user->username;

        $data['email'] = $user->email;

//generating pdf with user data

        $pdf = PDF::loadView('user_details', $data);

 

//send mail to user

        Mail::send('message', $data, function($message) use ($data, $pdf) {

            $message->from('abc@example.com');

            $message->to($data['email']);

            $message->subject('Receipt');

            $message->attachData($pdf->output(), 'Receipt.pdf'); //attached pdf file

        });

    }

 

}

 

The output file name is Receipt.pdf and it will be attached with the Email.

Then, create blade file on resource directory. PDF view file in view folder name is user_details.blade.php

 <html>

    <head>

    </head>

    <body>

        <h1>User Details:</h1>

        <p>Username: {{ $username }}</p>

        <p>Email: {{ $email }}</p>

    </body>

</html>

 

Last one create message file for users mail. That file name is message.php in view folder.
