Examples

Full example (from a controller action)

SilverStripe\Core\Injector\Injector:
  # Create PDF generator as an injector service
  # This allows you to specify the binary path once and have it set up
  # automatically by getting the service from the injector.
  Knp\Snappy\Pdf:
    constructor:
      - '/bin/wkhtmltopdf' # Path to your WKTHMLTOPDF binary. Use '`SOME_ENV_VAR`' to define the binary path in .env
use Heyday\SilverStripe\WkHtml;
use SilverStripe\Core\Injector\Injector;

$generator = WkHtml\Generator::create(
    // Use Injector->get(Pdf::class) if you don't need to modify options
    // Use Injector->create() to create a transient service for modifications (e.g. setOption)
    // Using Injector->get() and making changes will cause changes to be made for all uses of get(Pdf::class) for the entire request
    Injector::inst()->create(\Knp\Snappy\Pdf::class),
    WkHtml\Input\Url::create('/'),
    WkHtml\Output\Browser::create('test.pdf', 'application/pdf')
);
return $generator->process();
