pat-o-dev/factur-x-laravel

Laravel bridge for pat-o-dev/factur-x: a ServiceProvider, a FacturX facade, a default invoice template, and a full Invoice → rendered PDF → Factur-X hybrid PDF pipeline.

Installation

composer require pat-o-dev/factur-x-laravel

Usage

Low-level: XML / hybridizing your own PDF

use PatODev\FacturX\Laravel\Facades\FacturX;

// $invoice is a PatODev\FacturX\Model\Invoice (see pat-o-dev/factur-x README)
$xml = FacturX::generateXml($invoice);

$basePdf = /* bytes of a PDF/A invoice you already render, e.g. via mPDF */;
$hybridPdf = FacturX::generateHybridPdf($invoice, $basePdf);

Full pipeline: render the invoice template and hybridize in one call

FacturXInvoiceGenerator renders a Blade view to HTML, converts it to PDF/A via mPDF, then hybridizes it — no need to bring your own PDF renderer:

use PatODev\FacturX\Laravel\FacturXInvoiceGenerator;

$hybridPdf = app(FacturXInvoiceGenerator::class)->generate($invoice);

return response($hybridPdf, 200, [
    'Content-Type' => 'application/pdf',
    'Content-Disposition' => 'attachment; filename="'.$invoice->number.'.pdf"',
]);

Customizing the invoice template

Publish the default Blade view and edit it directly:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=factur-x-views
# -> resources/views/vendor/factur-x/invoice.blade.php

Or point config('factur-x.view') at your own view name entirely.

Using a different rendering engine (Twig, pre-rendered React/Vue, ...)

FacturXInvoiceGenerator depends on the PatODev\FacturX\Laravel\Rendering\InvoiceHtmlRenderer interface (render(Invoice $invoice): string, returning HTML), bound by default to BladeInvoiceRenderer. Rebind it in a service provider to swap engines:

$this->app->bind(InvoiceHtmlRenderer::class, MyCustomRenderer::class);

Note: the HTML is converted to PDF/A by mPDF, which renders static HTML/CSS only — it does not execute JavaScript. A React/Vue-based renderer must server-side render to a plain HTML string before returning it (client-side hydration won't run inside the PDF converter).

mPDF / PDF/A options

config('factur-x.pdfa_version') (default 3-B) and config('factur-x.mpdf_config') (merged into the Mpdf constructor config, e.g. format, tempDir) control the base PDF produced by the default InvoicePdfARenderer (MpdfInvoicePdfRenderer). Swap that binding the same way as InvoiceHtmlRenderer to use a different PDF/A engine (e.g. TCPDF).

Publishing

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=factur-x-config  # config/factur-x.php
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=factur-x-views   # resources/views/vendor/factur-x/

Testing

composer install
vendor/bin/phpunit
