laravel-dompdf and Evo 2.0.3

efilippi

Hi,

I would like to use the laravel-dompdf package following the doc :
[https://wilo-ahadi.com/posts/laravel-generate-a-pdf-file-with-laravel-dompdf](https://)

but my site crashes.
I don't know if I did it right (obviously not) regarding the Evo layer on top of laravel ...

I ran composer require barryvdh/laravel-dompdf in the core directory

I added the following lines to the core/config/app.php file :
'providers' => [ ... 'Barryvdh' => Barryvdh\DomPDF\ServiceProvider::class ... ], ... 'aliases' => [ ... 'PDF' => Barryvdh\DomPDF\Facade\Pdf::class ...

I get this error :

The use statement with non-compound name 'PDF' has no effect
« Evolution CMS Parse Error »

Error : Class 'Barryvdh\DomPDF\Facade\Pdf' not found

Error information
ErrorType[num] WARNING[2]
File /home/www/test_espacelyonjapon/web/core/src/AliasLoader.php
Line 69
Source return class_alias($this->aliases[$alias], $alias);

Someone can help me ?

Maybe it has to do with Evo 2. You should try v3. (community edition).

I'm testing makePDF at the moment.

Which seem to work (after update). I can help you with that if you like.
Also if you have questions which are more advanced, the Telegram community are a good help.

You can ask questions in English there.

Graffx Design I could manage to make dompdf work correctly with the original version. So it's fine for me at this time.

I'll try the laravel version when I update my sites ti V3 ...

Concerning the telegram community, posting have been restricted for me on this channel, maybe because I asked too silly questions ...

Thank you for your help ! 😀

Probably you didn't enter captcha, so the bot kicked you. That's not permanent, so you can try again.

I've been using mpdf/mpdf in my Evo 1.4 site for a long while now.

My assets/composer.json looks like this:

    "require": {
        "mpdf/mpdf": "^8.1",
		"phpoffice/phpspreadsheet": "*"
    }
}

and then ran composer update in the asset folder.

I make use of it in PHP via

$mpdf = new Mpdf\Mpdf();

Works very well.
