I need to do the snappy generate reports from BD. But for that I needed examples of using the snappy, in the documentation of github there’s an example, but that example didn’t help me. I needed an example of how to use Snappy with controller, views and rotas. Can someone help me, please?

@@Edit

It doesn’t have to be exactly that, it’s just that I saw in Laracasts that was the best generator of PDF. I’ll take a look at the documentation of dompdf. Anyway, if I use the dompdf would you have an example code like I said above? Thank you already

Need to be exactly this PDF generator, it has something I do not like that is system dependent installation? for example this is very simple barryvdh/Laravel-dompdf ...

Minimal example:

Package installation barryvdh/Laravel-dompdf

composer require barryvdh/laravel-dompdf

After the installation is completed, enter the file app/config.php and add the following settings:

'providers' => [ 
    ....
    Barryvdh\DomPDF\ServiceProvider::class,
]

and

'aliases' => [
    ...
    'PDF' => Barryvdh\DomPDF\Facade::class,
]

return to command line and type:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Barryvdh\DomPDF\ServiceProvider"

to publish the settings in the folder config the file dompdf.php.

Observing: there is a folder in the installation package that should be copied manually to the folder storage of Larable, this folder contains the source files used by this package to generate the reports in PDF and the way is
vendor\dompdf\dompdf\lib and the folder is fonts, looking like this.

After the setup and configuration process create a controller for example:

<?php namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use App\Stackoverflow;
use Barryvdh\DomPDF\Facade as PDF;

class PdfviewController extends Controller
{

    private $model;
    public function __construct(Stackoverflow $model)
    {
        $this->model = $model;
    }

    public function index()
    {
        $data['model'] = $this->model->all();
        return PDF::loadView('view', $data)
            ->stream();
    }
}

the route:

Route::get('/viewpdf', 'PdfviewController@index');

and your View with this structure, generating a list of table information stackoverflow:
