This tutorial will provide an example of laravel 10 pdf file from view. I explained simply about laravel 10 generate pdf file. In this article, we will implement a how to generate pdf in laravel 10. I’m going to show you about laravel 10 create pdf from view.

I will give you a simple example of how to generate a pdf file in laravel 10. we will use the DomPDF composer package to generate a pdf file in laravel 10. just follow the below step and get a simple pdf using laravel 10.

Step 1: Install Laravel 10

This step is not required; however, if you have not created the laravel app, then you may go ahead and execute the below command:

composer create-project laravel/laravel example-app

Step 2: Install DomPDF Package

next, we will install DomPDF package using following composer command, let's run bellow command:

composer require barryvdh/laravel-dompdf

Step 3: Create Controller

In this step, we will create PDFController with generatePDF() where we write code of generate pdf. so let's create controller using bellow command.

php artisan make:controller PDFController

in PDFController, we also get users table data and display them into pdf file. so you can add some dummy data on the users table by using the following tinker command:


php artisan tinker
User::factory()->count(10)->create()

Now, update the code on the controller file.

app/Http/Controllers/PDFController.php


<?php
  
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
  
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Models\User;
use PDF;
  
class PDFController extends Controller
{
    /**
     * Display a listing of the resource.
     *
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function generatePDF()
    {
        $users = User::get();
  
        $data = [
            'title' => 'Welcome to HDTuto.com',
            'date' => date('m/d/Y'),
            'users' => $users
        ]; 
            
        $pdf = PDF::loadView('myPDF', $data);
     
        return $pdf->download('itsolutionstuff.pdf');
    }
}

Step 4: Add Route

Furthermore, open routes/web.php file and update code on it.

routes/web.php


<?php
  
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;
  
use App\Http\Controllers\PDFController;
  
/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Web Routes
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| Here is where you can register web routes for your application. These
| routes are loaded by the RouteServiceProvider within a group which
| contains the "web" middleware group. Now create something great!
|
*/
  
Route::get('generate-pdf', [PDFController::class, 'generatePDF']);

Step 5: Create View File

In Last step, let's create myPDF.blade.php(resources/views/myPDF.blade.php) for layout of pdf file and put following code:

resources/views/myPDF.blade.php


<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>Laravel 10 Generate PDF Example - HDTuto.com</title>

    tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.</p>
  
    <table class="table table-bordered">

        </tr>
        @foreach($users as $user)
        <tr>
            <td>{{ $user->id }}</td>
            <td>{{ $user->name }}</td>
            <td>{{ $user->email }}</td>
