无法在Laravel中使用dompdf转换表

Question

I want to convert my HTML page to pdf but I can not do it. Maybe you know what I am doing wrong? Here is my code

web.php

Route::get('print/{id}',array('as'=>'htmltopdfview','uses'=>'ClientController@htmltopdfview'));

controller:

 public function htmltopdfview(Request $request)
{
    $products = Client::all();
    view()->share('products',$products);
    if($request->has('download')){
        $pdf = PDF::loadView('client/print');
        return $pdf->download('client/print');
    }
    return view('client/print' compact('client'));
}

and view:

<a href="{{ route('htmltopdfview',['download'=>'pdf']) }}">Download PDF</a>

            <div class="panel-body">
                {!! Form::open(['action' => ['ClientController@doEdit', $client->id]]) !!}

                {!! Form::label('name', 'Imie i nazwisko:'); !!}
                {!! Form::text('name', null, ['class' => 'form-control']) !!}
{!! Form::submit('Edit!', ['class' => 'btn btn-success']) !!}
                {!! Form::close() !!}                 

Answer 1

So first you make a blade without that anchor tag , just keep plain html in your view ie blade .I don't get the form part but you mostly need static page for that apart from accessing the products like

{{$products->id}}  

Also for accessing the data in In controller , instead of returning view, return the below code right after the view()->share. I have mentioned below why you won't need that if condition

return $pdf->stream(); 

The download option will be automatically available in browsers like chrome. Also If you aren't using any data from request,why don't you try removing it. Also you never defined $client in that view .
