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
Render Defaults
===============
The defaults for the render options are as follows:
layout: false
template: the template for the current controller/action
stylesheets: none
