Usage
Basic Usage
from bootyprint.utils import generate_pdf
from django.http import HttpResponse
def my_pdf_view(request):
# Generate PDF from template
context = {'title': 'My Document', 'content': 'Hello World'}
pdf_content = generate_pdf(
template_name='myapp/my_template.html',
context=context,
encoding='utf-8'
)
# Return as response
response = HttpResponse(pdf_content, content_type='application/pdf')
response['Content-Disposition'] = 'attachment; filename="my_document.pdf"'
return response
Using PDFResponse
from bootyprint.views import PDFResponse
from bootyprint.utils import generate_pdf
def my_pdf_view(request):
context = {'title': 'My Document', 'content': 'Hello World'}
pdf_content = generate_pdf(
template_name='myapp/my_template.html',
context=context
)
return PDFResponse(pdf_content, filename='my_document.pdf')
Using PDFTemplateResponse
from django.views.generic import DetailView
from bootyprint.views import PDFTemplateResponse
def my_pdf_view(request):
context = {'title': 'My Document', 'content': 'Hello World'}
return PDFTemplateResponse(
request=request,
template='myapp/my_template.html',
context=context,
filename='my_document.pdf'
)
class MyPDFView(DetailView):
model = MyModel
template_name = "myapp/my_template.html"
response_class = PDFTemplateResponse
Template Tags
Load BootyPrint
The latest BootyPrint is included in this library. The bootyprint_css template tag loads it into the html template.
{% load bootyprint %}
<head>
{% bootyprint_css %}
<style>
:root {
--primary: #3f51b5;
--secondary: #2196f3;
--font-size-base: 11px;
--page-size: A4;
--page-margin: 10mm;
}
</style>
</head>
Local paths to static files
Usually it's the easiest way to provide local, absolute file paths to resources to WeasyPrint. The template tag
local_static is like django's static tag, but returns a local path.
{% load bootyprint %}
<img src="{% local_static "img/default_avatar" %}" alt="My Profile Image">
Templates
Bootyprint comes with a default template (bootyprint/default.html) that you can extend or override. Your templates should be valid HTML that WeasyPrint can render to PDF.
Example template:
{% extends "bootyprint/default.html" %}
{% block content %}
<h1>{{ title }}</h1>
<p>{{ content }}</p>
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Item</th>
<th>Price</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
{% for item in items %}
<tr>
<td>{{ item.name }}</td>
<td>${{ item.price }}</td>
</tr>
{% endfor %}
</tbody>
</table>
{% endblock %}
{% block footer %}
Generated on {{ generation_date|date:"F j, Y" }}
{% endblock %}
