Hi everyone! I’m writing an extension to integrate a TastyIgniter installation with Sendy, and one of the features I need to implement is the option of creating a PDF with menu items from a specific category. I was able to pretty much implement everything I needed except the PDF part, I’m stuck on trying to get a PDF package installed for my extension, I’m trying to use the barryvdh/laravel-snappy package. So this is what I’ve basically done so far: I created a composer.json file with the required packaged in it (see more below) I uninstalled and then re-install the extension in System > Extensions No vendor package shows up on the extension folder If that’s not how it’s supposed to work can someone point me in the right direction? I’ve checked the smsnotify extension which I see has a composer.json and a composer.lock files, and a vendor folder is created when the extension is installed. The other thing I wanted to ask is also, how do I use the package once it’s installed, is it autodiscovered by TI or do I need to do something manually? Thank you! ** composer.json { "name": "borealishq/dailyspecials", "type": "tastyigniter-extension", "keywords": [ "tastyigniter", "daily", "specials" ], "license": "MIT", "require": { "barryvdh/laravel-snappy": "^0.4.8" } }

Custom Extension - Install Composer dependencies

Hi everyone!

I’m writing an extension to integrate a TastyIgniter installation with Sendy, and one of the features I need to implement is the option of creating a PDF with menu items from a specific category.

I was able to pretty much implement everything I needed except the PDF part, I’m stuck on trying to get a PDF package installed for my extension, I’m trying to use the barryvdh/laravel-snappy package.

So this is what I’ve basically done so far:

I created a composer.json file with the required packaged in it (see more below)
I uninstalled and then re-install the extension in System > Extensions
No vendor package shows up on the extension folder

If that’s not how it’s supposed to work can someone point me in the right direction? I’ve checked the smsnotify extension which I see has a composer.json and a composer.lock files, and a vendor folder is created when the extension is installed.

The other thing I wanted to ask is also, how do I use the package once it’s installed, is it autodiscovered by TI or do I need to do something manually?

Thank you!

** composer.json
{ "name": "borealishq/dailyspecials", "type": "tastyigniter-extension", "keywords": [ "tastyigniter", "daily", "specials" ], "license": "MIT", "require": { "barryvdh/laravel-snappy": "^0.4.8" } }

Run composer install from inside your extension’s directory and that should be enough. If/when you upload to the marketplace dont include your vendor folders as the marketplace servers generate those.

ryanmitchell thanks for your response, I ran composer install on the extension directory and my entire install stopped working:

reviewing the logs, I’m seeing this:

2021/10/11 13:50:19 [error] 1031#1031: *1855 FastCGI sent in stderr: "PHP message: PHP Fatal error:  Declaration of Dingo\Api\Exception\Handler::report(Exception $exception) must be compatible with Illuminate\Contracts\Debug\ExceptionHandler::report(Throwable $e) in /home/vagrant/code/SpringStreetDeli/ssd_orders/extensions/igniter/api/vendor/dingo/api/src/Exception/Handler.php on line 77PHP message: PHP Fatal error:  Declaration of Illuminate\Foundation\Exceptions\Handler::report(Exception $e) must be compatible with Illuminate\Contracts\Debug\ExceptionHandler::report(Throwable $e) in /home/vagrant/code/SpringStreetDeli/ssd_orders/vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Foundation/Exceptions/Handler.php on line 101" while reading response header from upstream, client: 192.168.10.1, server: ssd.test, request: "GET /admin/borealis/dailyspecials/specialstemplate HTTP/2.0", upstream: "fastcgi://unix:/var/run/php/php7.4-fpm.sock:", host: "ssd.test"

any ideas?

ryanmitchell

That shouldn’t have happened. Did you run it on just your specific extension folder? Seems to have impacted the API extension which it shouldn’t have

everdaniel

ryanmitchell that’s correct Ryan, I ran composer install from within my extension folder:
extensions/borealis/dailyspecials/

this is my folder structure:

now I’m trying to get it to work with the MPDF library but if there is a way to make composer libraries work with the extension, I would rather do that.

ryanmitchell

Easiest way then is run composer install xx/xxx on the main folder.

everdaniel

ryanmitchell ok thanks, will try that
