Generate Document

use Docstron\Laravel\Facades\Docstron;

// Generate a document with direct PDF response
$pdfContent = Docstron::generateDocument([
    'template_id' => 'template-c2465c0b-fc54-4672-b9ac-7446886cd6de',
    'data' => [
        'customer_name' => 'John Doe',
        'amount' => '$299.00',
    ],
    'response_type' => 'pdf', // Default
]);

// Save the PDF to file
file_put_contents('invoice.pdf', $pdfContent);

// Generate with Base64 response
$response = Docstron::generateDocument([
    'template_id' => 'template-c2465c0b-fc54-4672-b9ac-7446886cd6de',
    'data' => [
        'customer_name' => 'John Doe',
        'amount' => '$299.00',
    ],
    'response_type' => 'json_with_base64',
]);

// Generate with Document ID response
$response = Docstron::generateDocument([
    'template_id' => 'template-c2465c0b-fc54-4672-b9ac-7446886cd6de',
    'data' => [
        'customer_name' => 'John Doe',
        'amount' => '$299.00',
    ],
    'response_type' => 'document_id',
]);

// Generate password-protected PDF
$pdfContent = Docstron::generateDocument([
    'template_id' => 'template-c2465c0b-fc54-4672-b9ac-7446886cd6de',
    'data' => [
        'customer_name' => 'John Doe',
        'amount' => '$299.00',
    ],
    'response_type' => 'pdf',
    'password' => 'SecureDoc2025!',
]);

Quick Generate Document

use Docstron\Laravel\Facades\Docstron;

// Quick generate without pre-creating a template
$pdfContent = Docstron::quickGenerateDocument([
    'html_content' => '<h1>Hello {{ name }}</h1><p>Welcome to Docstron!</p>',
    'data' => [
        'name' => 'John Doe',
    ],
    'response_type' => 'pdf',
]);

// Quick generate with custom CSS
$pdfContent = Docstron::quickGenerateDocument([
    'html_content' => '<h1>Invoice</h1>',
    'extra_css' => '@page { margin: 2cm; }',
    'response_type' => 'pdf',
]);

// Quick generate and save as template
$response = Docstron::quickGenerateDocument([
    'html_content' => '<h1>Receipt</h1>',
    'save_as_template' => true,
    'template_name' => 'Receipt Template',
    'application_id' => 'app-7b4d78fb-820c-4ca9-84cc-46953f211234',
    'response_type' => 'document_id',
]);

Manage Documents

use Docstron\Laravel\Facades\Docstron;

// Get all documents
$documents = Docstron::getDocuments();

// Get a specific document
$document = Docstron::getDocument('document-489a79af-8680-4a08-a777-df52f26f296f');

// Download a document
$pdfContent = Docstron::downloadDocument('document-489a79af-8680-4a08-a777-df52f26f296f');
file_put_contents('downloaded.pdf', $pdfContent);

// Update a document
$document = Docstron::updateDocument('document-489a79af-8680-4a08-a777-df52f26f296f', [
    'attributes' => [
        'customer_name' => 'Jane Doe',
        'amount' => '$399.00',
    ],
]);

// Delete a document
Docstron::deleteDocument('document-489a79af-8680-4a08-a777-df52f26f296f');

Response Types

When generating documents, you can specify different response types:

• pdf (default): Returns the PDF file content directly as binary data
• json_with_base64: Returns JSON with the PDF encoded as base64
• document_id: Returns JSON with the document ID for later retrieval

Error Handling

The SDK throws GuzzleException for HTTP errors. You should wrap your calls in try-catch blocks:

use GuzzleHttp\Exception\GuzzleException;
use Docstron\Laravel\Facades\Docstron;

try {
    $pdf = Docstron::generateDocument([
        'template_id' => 'template-id',
        'data' => ['name' => 'John'],
    ]);
} catch (GuzzleException $e) {
    // Handle error
    logger()->error('Docstron API Error: ' . $e->getMessage());
}
