How to get Blade template view as a raw HTML string?
You can call render() on the view.
$html = view('users.edit', compact('user'))->render();See the View source code for more information.
<!-- View stored in resources/views/greeting.blade.php --> <html> <body> <h1>Hello, {{ $name }}</h1> </body> </html><!-- In your php controller --> return view('greeting', ['name' => 'James']);edited
<!-- In your PHP controller You can add html variable , and then use it for example to print PDF -->$html=view('greeting', ['name' => 'James']); $pdf = \App::make('snappy.pdf.wrapper'); $output = $pdf->loadHTML($html)->output();$headers = [ 'Content-Type' => 'application/pdf', 'Content-Disposition' => 'inline; filename="' . $filename . '"', ]; \Storage::put("pdfs/$filename", $output);return response()->download(storage_path("app\\pdfs\\$filename"), $filename . '.pdf', $headers);<!-- or return \Response::make($output, 200, $headers); -->to use snappy you need to follow the instructions :https://github.com/barryvdh/laravel-snappy
