Introduction Generation of reports is a core feature in most applications. When developing for the web, one may opt to generate reports using HTML/CSS or PDF. In situations where HTML/CSS reports require emailing to third parties, these reports are exported to various formats one of them being PDF. It is therefore advantageous where the initial report generation is in PDF format as this will not require any exporting.
In this post, we step through the process of generating a simple dynamic PDF invoice using React and react-pdf by Diego Muracciole.
Introduction In this post we look at the process of setting up a Git repository on a DigitalOcean droplet running Ubuntu 18.04. After setting up the repository, we create a server side hook to automatically deploy a successful git push to a web server. A non-root user with no sudo permissions will be used to create the Git repository. The Git user will also be granted read and write permissions on the website for a successful deployment.
In this post, we setup a Laravel development environment using PostgreSQL and Laradock. Laradock uses Docker to easily setup up a development environment for PHP projects. By using Docker, you eliminate the need to install PHP, Composer, Laravel or a database server on your local computer.
Requirements Git will be required in order to clone the Laradock repository. You can find out if Git is installed on your computer by running git --version on a terminal/command prompt.
