PDF generator with Laravel Framework?

Question

PDF generator with Laravel Framework?

I need to do the snappy generate reports from the data of the BD. But for this I needed examples of use of snappy, in the documentation of GitHub even has an example, but that example did not help me. I needed an example of how to use Snappy with controller, views and rotas. Can someone please help me?

@ @ Edit

it doesn't have to be exactly that, it's that I saw in Laracasts that it was the best generator of PDF. I'll take a look at the documentation of the dompdf . Anyway, if I use the dompdf would you have an example code like I said above? Thank you now

Minimum example:

Installing the package barryvdh / laravel-dompdf

composer require barryvdh/laravel-dompdf

After the installation is complete, enter the file app/config.php and add the following settings:

'providers' => [ 
    ....
    Barryvdh\DomPDF\ServiceProvider::class,
]

E

'aliases' => [
    ...
    'PDF' => Barryvdh\DomPDF\Facade::class,
]

Return to the command line and Type:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Barryvdh\DomPDF\ServiceProvider"

To publish the settings in the folder config the file dompdf.php.

Note: there is a folder in the installation package, which must be manually copied to the folder - storage the laravel{[24th]}, this folder contains the source files that are used for the package for the generation of the reports, in - PDF, and the way it is
vendor\dompdf\dompdf\lib and the folder is fonts, staying with this look.

After the installation and configuration process create a controller by example:

<?php namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use App\Stackoverflow;
use Barryvdh\DomPDF\Facade as PDF;

class PdfviewController extends Controller
{

    private $model;
    public function __construct(Stackoverflow $model)
    {
        $this->model = $model;
    }

    public function index()
    {
        $data['model'] = $this->model->all();
        return PDF::loadView('view', $data)
            ->stream();
    }
}

The Route:

Route::get('/viewpdf', 'PdfviewController@index');

And its View with this structure, generating a list of Table information stackoverflow:
