Introduction - Browsershot

The package can convert a webpage to an image or pdf. The conversion is done behind the scenes by Puppeteer which controls a headless version of Google Chrome.

Here's a quick example:

php

use Spatie\Browsershot\Browsershot;

// an image will be saved
Browsershot::url('https://example.com')->save($pathToImage);

It will save a pdf if the path passed to the save method has a pdf extension.

php

// a pdf will be saved
Browsershot::url('https://example.com')->save('example.pdf');

You can also use an arbitrary html input, simply replace the url method with html:

php

Browsershot::html('<h1>Hello world!!</h1>')->save('example.pdf');

Browsershot also can get the body of an HTML page after JavaScript has been executed:

php

Browsershot::url('https://example.com')->bodyHtml(); // returns the html of the body

If you wish to retrieve an array list with all the requests that the page triggered you can do so:

php

$requests = Browsershot::url('https://example.com')
    ->triggeredRequests();

foreach ($requests as $request) {
    $url = $request['url']; //https://example.com/
}
