Usage

Install

Composer

To install via composer, follow the simple steps below.

composer install amattu2/avery-fpdf-labels
composer install fpdf/fpdf

NOTE: You can use any fork of FPDF you want as long as it implements the same methods as FPDF.

Then

require 'vendor/autoload.php';

$template = new amattu2\LabelSheet("Avery5160");
$pdf = new Fpdf\Fpdf();

---

Direct

If you choose to install without composer support, you can clone the repository directly. You will need to include FPDF also.

git clone https://github.com/amattu2/avery-fpdf-labels

Then

require 'fpdf/Fpdf.php'; // Install FPDF manually
require 'src/LabelSheet.php';

$template = new amattu2\LabelSheet("Avery5160");
$pdf = new Fpdf\Fpdf();

---

Usage

See example.php for demonstration of usage.

Text Label

Use the addTextLabel method to add a text label to the template. The method accepts an array of strings, an optional alignment parameter, and optional row and column parameters. This would typically be used for address labels.

addTextLabel(array $lines, ?string $align = "C", int $row = null, int $col = null): void

$template->addTextLabel([
  "line 1",
  "line 2",
  "line 3",
  // ...
])

Image Label

Use the addImageLabel method to add an image label to the template. The method accepts a path to an image file and optional row and column parameters.

addImageLabel(string $path, int $row = null, int $col = null): void

$template->addImageLabel("https://api.placeholder.app/image/350x350/.png");

Custom Labels

The addCustomLabel method allows you to expand upon the current label types (e.g. adding barcodes). You must instantiate your own implementation of the custom label and pass it to this method.

addCustomLabel(LabelInterface $label): void

The custom label must implement the LabelInterface interface. See /src/LabelInterface.php for more information.
