NanoByte.Razor2Pdf 0.4.0

Razor2Pdf

Razor2Pdf renders ASP.NET Core Razor Pages as PDFs using WeasyPrint.

Usage

1. Ensure that the weasyprint command is in your PATH. You can:
   • follow the WeasyPrint installation instructions or
   • use our ASP.NET Core Runtime and WeasyPrint Docker image.
2. Add a reference to the NanoByte.Razor2Pdf NuGet package to your project.
3. Add a call to services.AddRazor2Pdf() in your ConfigureServices() method in Startup.cs.

You can now use dependency injection to get an instance of IPdfRenderer and use it like this:

FileStreamResult result = await pdfRenderer.RenderAsync("path/to/my/view", new MyViewModel(...));

See the sample project for more details.

Building

The source code is in src/, config for building the API documentation is in doc/ and generated build artifacts are placed in artifacts/. The source code does not contain version numbers. Instead the version is determined during CI using GitVersion.

To build run .\build.ps1 or ./build.sh (.NET SDK is automatically downloaded if missing using 0install).

You can use also user Docker Compose to build the library and run the included sample project at http://localhost:8080/:

cd src
docker-compose up
