KoolReport is an open-source PHP Reporting Framework for faster and easier report delivery. KoolReport works well with any MVC frameworks and Symfony is one of them. In this repository, we would like to guide you to integrate KoolReport into Symfony.
Adding koolreport/core into your composer.json
{
"requires"=>{
...
"koolreport/core":"*"
}
}
and run
composer update
Now KoolReport is available in your Symfony application.
- Under
srcfolder, you create folderReportsto hold reports - Inside
Reportsfolder, you createMyReport.phpandMyReport.view.php, please view our code in above repository. - Make the
MyReportclass under namespaceApp\Reports
Now in your controller's action, you can render report like this:
/**
* @Route("/site/report")
*/
public function report()
{
$report = new \App\Reports\MyReport;
return new Response($report->run()->render());
}
or if you want to render report inside twig template you can do:
/**
* @Route("/site/reportwithtemplate")
*/
public function template()
{
$report = new \App\Reports\MyReport;
return $this->render('report.html.twig', [
'myreport' =>$report->run()->render(true)
]);
}
and here is the content of your twig template:
<html>
<head>
<title>Render KoolReport inside Twig Template</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Render KoolReport inside Twig Template</h1>
{{myreport|raw}}
</body>
</html>
Now if you run
http://localhost:8000/site/report
or
http://localhost:8000/site/reportwithtemplate
you will see your report!
In this tutorial, we have shown how to use KoolReport inside Symfony web application. You can render report directly or use wit twig template. Hope that this tutorial helps you to get started faster with KoolReport.
