Error: Using $this when not in object context - generate pdf using dompdf laravel
Question
I wanted to generate pdf of the view file certificate_template & store the generated pdf file in public with the filename certificate.pdf . Below is what i tried.I got stuck with the below errors too. Any help is much appreciated.
use Barryvdh\DomPDF\PDF;
return PDF::loadView('certificate_template', $data)->stream();
//$file='certificate.pdf';
I've installed dompdf with composer require barryvdh/laravel-dompdf .
added the correct providers & aliases in config\app.php .
The above code gives me the error
Error: Using $this when not in object context in file C:\wamp\abc\vendor\barryvdh\laravel-dompdf\src\PDF.php on line 133
so i tried the below code, then i get the error
ArgumentCountError: Too few arguments to function Barryvdh\DomPDF\PDF::__construct(), 0 passed in C:\wamp\www\abc\app\Http\Controllers\CertificatesController.php on line 415 and exactly 4 expected in file C:\wamp\www\abc\vendor\barryvdh\laravel-dompdf\src\PDF.php on line 49
$pdf=new PDF;
return $pdf->loadView('certificate_template', $data);
EDIT
The below code saves pdf file but its in binary format. I wanted it to be storedin original format.How can i do that?
$pdf=app()->make(PDF::class);
$pdf->loadView('certificate_template', $data);
$pdf->save('certificate_template.pdf');
return $pdf;

You need to change the imported class in the top of your controller, so just replace
use Barryvdh\DomPDF\PDF;
with
use Barryvdh\DomPDF\Facade\Pdf;
Or simply
use PDF;
That's all.

Try this
$pdf = PDF::loadView('certificate_template', $data);
$pdf->save('certificate_template.pdf');
return $pdf;

All run well with example code. Check my way:
Set this content in routes\web.php :
Route::get('/', function () {
// return view('welcome');
// Work1
// $pdf = App::make('dompdf.wrapper');
// $pdf->loadHTML('<h1>Test</h1>');
// return $pdf->stream();
// Work2
$data = [
'text1'=>'<h1>Test</h1><div class="text-red">This line is red color</div>',
'text2'=> 'Just text'
];
return PDF::loadView('template_one', $data)->stream();
});
With sample text in resources\views\template_one.blade.php :
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="{{ str_replace('_', '-', app()->getLocale()) }}">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
<title>Template One</title>
<style>
.text-red {
color: red;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
This is my page of test!
{!! $text1 !!}
<br/>
{{ $text2 }}
</body>
</html>
You will get successful result!
Update
To get content file you can use follow code:
// Work3
$data = [
'text1'=>'<h1>Test</h1><div class="text-red">This line is red color</div>',
'text2'=> 'Just text'
];
$pdf = app('dompdf.wrapper');
$pdf->loadView('template_one', $data);
// To save content as your desire
return $pdf->output();
