Generate invoice to string for e-mail attachment #60

How can this system be called to generate a binary string of the PDF from an arbitrary ActionMailer?

This probably isn't the best way of doing it, but here's what I have implemented as a decorator.

  def confirm_email(order, resend = false)
    @order = order.respond_to?(:id) ? order : Spree::Order.find(order)

    filename = "Invoice_#{@order.number}_#{Time.now.strftime('%Y%m%d')}.pdf"

    admin_controller = Spree::Admin::OrdersController.new
    invoice = admin_controller.render_to_string(:layout => false , :template => "spree/admin/orders/invoice.pdf.prawn", :type => :prawn, :locals => {:@order => @order})

    attachments[filename] = {
      mime_type: 'application/pdf',
      content: invoice
    }

    subject = (resend ? "[#{Spree.t(:resend).upcase}] " : '')
    subject += "#{Spree::Config[:site_name]} #{Spree.t('order_mailer.confirm_email.subject')} ##{@order.number}"
    headers = {to: @order.email, from: from_address, subject: subject}
    mail(headers)
  end
