After Search Export to PDF in Laravel?

问题

I have search data of the school now I like to export the searched only data into PDF. It is easy to send all just write $school=School::all(), but I like to send not all only searched data to PDF. For more information please see the attached pictures.

all Schools and it information

Once I searched I get this page:

searched page

Here is the code in Laravel controller.

Search function:

public function search(Request $request)
{
    $camp_id=$request->camp_id;
    $school_level=$request->school_level;
    $school_shift=$request->school_shift;
    $school_type=$request->school_type;
    if($request->has('camp_id') && !empty($request->input('camp_id'))||$request->has('school_level') && !empty($request->input('school_level'))||$request->has('school_type') && !empty($request->input('school_type'))||$request->has('school_shift') && !empty($request->input('school_shift')))
        $schools=School::where('camp_id',$camp_id)
            ->orWhere('school_level',$school_level)
            ->orWhere('school_type',$school_type)
            ->orWhere('school_shift',$school_shift)
             ->get();

    else
        $schools=School::where('school_active','Active');
     
    return view('reports/search',compact('schools'));
}

Here is another function which export to PDF:

public function exportpdf()
{  
    // if i write $schools=School::all(); it export to PDF which i dont like i want only searched as it show in attached pictuer 2 
    $pdf = PDF::loadView('reports.exportpdf',['schools'=>$schools])->setPaper('a3', 'landscape');
    return $pdf->download('School Details Reports.pdf');
}

Here is the web.php code:

Route::get('reports/exportpdf','SchoolController@exportpdf')->name('exportpdf'); 
Route::post('reports/search','SchoolController@search')->name('search');

My question is how to make exportpdf() function, and how to call from button in view?

回答1:

First use post instead of get for the route

 Route::post('reports/exportpdf','SchoolController@exportpdf')->name('exportpdf');

<form action="{{ route('exportpdf') }}" method="post">
    @csrf
    @foreach($schools as $school)
        <input type="hidden" name="school[]" value={{$school}}>
    @endforeach
    <button class="btn btn-info" type="submit">Export as PDF</button>
</form>

In your controller, use that model

public function exportpdf(Request $request)
{ 
  // dd($request->school); // will provide an array
  $schools = $request->school; 
  // then use it in your function
  $pdf = PDF::loadView('reports.exportpdf',['schools'=>$schools])->setPaper('a3', 'landscape');
  return $pdf->download('School Details Reports.pdf');
}
