Princely
|
||
|
|
========
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Princely is a simple wrapper for the Prince XML PDF generation library
|
||
|
|
(http://www.princexml.com). It is almost entirely based on the SubImage
|
||
|
|
Prince library found on this blog post:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
http://sublog.subimage.com/articles/2007/05/29/html-css-to-pdf-using-ruby-on-rails
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I have taken the helpers and made them a little bit more generalized and
|
||
|
|
reusable, and created a render option set for pdf generation. The plugin
|
||
|
|
will also automatically register the PDF MimeType so that you can use
|
||
|
|
pdf in controller respond_to blocks.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Example
|
||
|
|
=======
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
class Provider::EstimatesController < Provider::BaseController
|
||
|
|
def show
|
||
|
|
respond_to do |format|
|
||
|
|
format.html
|
||
|
|
format.pdf do
|
||
|
|
render :pdf => "file_name",
|
||
|
|
:template => "controller/action.pdf.erb",
|
||
|
|
:stylesheets => ["application","prince"]
|
||
|
|
:layout => "pdf"
|
||
|
|
end
|
||
|
|
end
|
||
|
|
end
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
def pdf
|
||
|
|
make_and_send_pdf("file_name")
|
||
|
|
end
|
||
|
|
end
|
||
|
