Overview

With horstoeko/zugferdvisualizer you can visualize ZUGFeRD/XRechnung/Factur-X documents. This package is an addon for horstoeko/zugferd package. The system uses a markup template (HTML) to render the output. On top you can create a PDF from the rendered markup

Dependencies

This package makes use of

• horstoeko/zugferd
• mPdf

Installation

There is one recommended way to install horstoeko/zugferdvisualizer via Composer:

• adding the dependency to your composer.json file:

  "require": {
      ..
      "horstoeko/zugferdvisualizer":"^1",
      ..
  },

Usage

Create HTML markup from existing invoice document (XML) using built-in template

use horstoeko\zugferd\ZugferdDocumentReader;
use horstoeko\zugferdvisualizer\ZugferdVisualizer;

require dirname(__FILE__) . "/../vendor/autoload.php";

$document = ZugferdDocumentReader::readAndGuessFromFile(dirname(__FILE__) . "/invoice_1.xml");

$visualizer = new ZugferdVisualizer($document);
$visualizer->setDefaultTemplate();

echo $visualizer->renderMarkup();

Create a PDF file from existing invoice document (XML) using built-in template

Find there full example here

use horstoeko\zugferd\ZugferdDocumentReader;
use horstoeko\zugferdvisualizer\ZugferdVisualizer;

require dirname(__FILE__) . "/../vendor/autoload.php";

$document = ZugferdDocumentReader::readAndGuessFromFile(dirname(__FILE__) . "/invoice_1.xml");

$visualizer = new ZugferdVisualizer($document);
$visualizer->setDefaultTemplate();
$visualizer->setPdfFontDefault("courier");
$visualizer->renderPdfFile(dirname(__FILE__) . "/invoice_1.pdf");

Create a PDF string from existing invoice document (XML) using built-in template

use horstoeko\zugferd\ZugferdDocumentReader;
use horstoeko\zugferdvisualizer\ZugferdVisualizer;

require dirname(__FILE__) . "/../vendor/autoload.php";

$document = ZugferdDocumentReader::readAndGuessFromFile(dirname(__FILE__) . "/invoice_1.xml");

$visualizer = new ZugferdVisualizer($document);
$visualizer->setDefaultTemplate();
$visualizer->setPdfFontDefault("courier");

$pdfString = $visualizer->renderPdf();

Create a PDF string from document builder and merge XML with generated PDF

Find there full example here

$document = ZugferdDocumentBuilder::CreateNew(ZugferdProfiles::PROFILE_EN16931);
$document
    ->setDocumentInformation("471102", "380", \DateTime::createFromFormat("Ymd", "20180305"), "EUR")
    ->...

$reader = ZugferdDocumentReader::readAndGuessFromContent($document->getContent());

$visualizer = new ZugferdVisualizer($reader);
$visualizer->setDefaultTemplate();
$visualizer->setPdfFontDefault("courier");
$visualizer->setPdfPaperSize('A4-P');

$merger = new ZugferdDocumentPdfMerger($document->getContent(), $visualizer->renderPdf());
$merger->generateDocument();
$merger->saveDocument(dirname(__FILE__) . "/invoice_2.pdf");

Create a custom renderer

If you want to implement your own markup renderer, then your class must implement the interface ZugferdVisualizerMarkupRendererContract. The interface defines two methods:

• templateExists
• render

use horstoeko\zugferd\ZugferdDocumentReader;
use horstoeko\zugferdvisualizer\contracts\ZugferdVisualizerMarkupRendererContract;

class MyOwnRenderer implements ZugferdVisualizerMarkupRendererContract
{
    public function templateExists(string $template): bool
    {
        // Put your logic here
        // Method must return a boolean value
    }

    public function render(ZugferdDocumentReader $document, string $template): string
    {
        // Put your logic here
        // Method must return a string (rendered HTML markup)
    }
}

Use a custom renderer

use horstoeko\zugferd\ZugferdDocumentReader;
use horstoeko\zugferdvisualizer\ZugferdVisualizer;

require dirname(__FILE__) . "/../vendor/autoload.php";

$document = ZugferdDocumentReader::readAndGuessFromFile(dirname(__FILE__) . "/invoice_1.xml");

$visualizer = new ZugferdVisualizer($document);
$visualizer->setRenderer(new MyOwnRenderer());
$visualizer->setTemplate('/assets/myowntemplate.tmpl');

echo $visualizer->renderMarkup();

Use the built-in Laravel renderer

The ZugferdVisualizerLaravelRenderer can be used within the Laravel-Framework:

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use horstoeko\zugferd\ZugferdDocumentReader;
use horstoeko\zugferdvisualizer\renderer\ZugferdVisualizerLaravelRenderer;
use horstoeko\zugferdvisualizer\ZugferdVisualizer;

class ZugferdController extends Controller
{
    public function index(Request $request)
    {
        $document = ZugferdDocumentReader::readAndGuessFromFile(storage_path('app/invoice_1.xml'));

        $visualizer = new ZugferdVisualizer($document);
        $visualizer->setRenderer(app(ZugferdVisualizerLaravelRenderer::class));
        $visualizer->setTemplate('zugferd'); // ~/resources/views/zugferd.blade.php

        return $visualizer->renderMarkup();
    }

    public function download(Request $request)
    {
        $document = ZugferdDocumentReader::readAndGuessFromFile(storage_path('app/invoice_1.xml'));

        $visualizer = new ZugferdVisualizer($document);
        $visualizer->setRenderer(app(ZugferdVisualizerLaravelRenderer::class));
        $visualizer->setTemplate('zugferd');
        $visualizer->setPdfFontDefault("courier");
        $visualizer->setPdfPaperSize('A4-P');
        $visualizer->renderPdfFile(storage_path('app/invoice_1.pdf'));

        $headers = [
            'Content-Type: application/pdf',
        ];

        return response()->download(storage_path('app/invoice_1.pdf'), "invoice_1.pdf", $headers);
    }
}

Set PDF-Options

If you want to make further settings to the internal PDF engine, then you can change further settings using a callback. The usage is as follows:

Set options before instanciating the internal PDF-Engine (setPdfPreInitCallback)

use horstoeko\zugferdvisualizer\ZugferdVisualizer;
use Mpdf\Mpdf;

$visualizer = new ZugferdVisualizer(static::$document);
$visualizer->setDefaultTemplate();
$visualizer->setPdfPreInitCallback(function (array $config, ZugferdVisualizer $visualizer) {
    $config["orientation"] = "L";
    return $config;
});

Set options after instanciating the internal PDF-Engine (setPdfRuntimeInitCallback)

use horstoeko\zugferdvisualizer\ZugferdVisualizer;
use Mpdf\Mpdf;

$visualizer = new ZugferdVisualizer(static::$document);
$visualizer->setDefaultTemplate();
$visualizer->setPdfRuntimeInitCallback(function (Mpdf $mpdf, ZugferdVisualizer $visualizer) {
    $mpdf->pdf_version = "1.7";
});

Working with custom fonts

If you would like to use your own fonts, that's no problem at all. First you have to specify one or more directories in which your fonts are located:

use horstoeko\zugferdvisualizer\ZugferdVisualizer;
use Mpdf\Mpdf;

$visualizer = new ZugferdVisualizer(static::$document);
$visualizer->addPdfFontDirectory('/var/fonts1/');
$visualizer->addPdfFontDirectory('/var/fonts2/');

Next, you need to define the font properties:

• The first parameter sets the name of the font-family
• Thé second parameter sets the type of the font
  • R - Regular
  • I - Italic
  • B - Bold
  • BI - Bold & Italic
• The third parameter sets the filename under which the font can be found in the specified font-directories

$visualizer->addPdfFontData('comicsans', 'R', 'comic.ttf');
$visualizer->addPdfFontData('comicsans', 'I', 'comici.ttf');

If you want to set a custom font as the default font, you can use the following method:

$visualizer->setPdfFontDefault("comicsans");

You can also use the name of the font family in the style attribute of any HTML elements in your template:

<p style="font-family: comicsans">Text in Comic Sans</p>
