Add invoice-table information to PDF invoice without hacking vendor files

Looking for the exact same thing.

I found this instructions http://alexkaye.co.uk/2015/01/01/customising-laravel-cashier-invoices/ But the mentioned Command

php artisan view:publish laravel/cashier  

seems not to work with Laravel 5.2?

I belive the view::publish just does the exact same thing as manually putting the receipt.blade.php file to resources/vendor/cashier/receipt.blade.php so you can simply do that once by hand.

Here is how I sovled it: If you only need to customize the look of it, above file setup should be all you need. The challenge comes in if you need additional data on the PDF that is not passed in by default.

Out of the box the download is handled here: \vendor\laravel\spark\src\Http\Controllers\Settings\Billing\InvoiceController.php

To pass in additional data, this is what I ended up with.

• create a new downoad route e.g. Route::get('/account/invoice/{uuid}', 'InvoiceController@download')
• change the download URL in .js file according to your new route
• run GULP (so the .js picks up the correct download URL for the invoice download buttons)
• create a modified version of the original download method with all relevant $data that gets called with the new route

My Setup looks like this:

class InvoiceController extends Controller
{

    /**
     * Download the invoice with the given ID.
     *
     * @param  Request  $request
     * @param  string  $id
     * @return Response
     */
    public function download(Request $request, $uuid)
    {
        $invoice = $request->user()->localInvoices()
                            ->where('uuid', $uuid)->firstOrFail();

        $this->authorize('download-invoice', $invoice);

        return $request->user()->downloadInvoice(
            $invoice->provider_id, [
                'provider_id' => $invoice->provider_id, 
                'invoice_number' => $invoice->invoice_number, 
                'uuid' => $invoice->uuid ] + Spark::invoiceDataFor($request->user())
        );
    }
}

Pay attention that in this setup the old download route will not work any longer as there is some data missing that is used in the receipt view. This will affect the incoice attachments that are sent by spark as a default ( I did not want to send attachements anyways and therefore removed it anyways)
