Installation

Use the following steps to manually install the UnoPim PDF Template extension in your project.

1. Download and Place the Extension

1. Download the extension package and extract the ZIP file.
2. Rename the extracted folder to PdfTemplate.
3. Move the folder to the packages/Webkul directory in your UnoPim project.

After this step, the package path should look like this:

packages/Webkul/PdfTemplate

2. Register the Package Provider

Open bootstrap/providers.php in your UnoPim project and register the service provider.

Add this import:

use Webkul\PdfTemplate\Providers\PdfTemplateServiceProvider;

Then add the provider class inside the providers array:

PdfTemplateServiceProvider::class,

NOTE

This registers PdfTemplateServiceProvider in Laravel so the extension can bootstrap its services, routes, and package configuration during application startup.

3. Update Composer Autoload

Open composer.json and register the PdfTemplate namespace under autoload.psr-4:

"Webkul\\PdfTemplate\\": "packages/Webkul/PdfTemplate/src"

4. Run the Installation Commands

Run the following commands from the project root to complete the package setup:

composer dump-autoload
php artisan optimize:clear
php artisan migrate
php artisan vendor:publish --provider=Webkul\\PdfTemplate\\Providers\\PdfTemplateServiceProvider

Command	Purpose
composer dump-autoload	Regenerates Composer's autoloader mapping to include the newly added namespace.
php artisan optimize:clear	Clears all cached files (bootstrap, configuration, routes, and views) to load the new changes.
php artisan migrate	Runs pending database migrations required by the package.
php artisan vendor:publish --provider=Webkul\\PdfTemplate\\Providers\\PdfTemplateServiceProvider	Publishes package assets and configuration files to the application.

5. Start Queue Processing

Start the queue worker so the package can handle directory-related background operations:

php artisan queue:work

Command	Purpose
php artisan queue:work	Starts a queue worker to process PDF Template background jobs.

Notes

• Run all commands from the root directory of your UnoPim project.
• Confirm that the package folder name is exactly PdfTemplate, because the namespace and autoload mapping depend on it.
• If the package does not appear after installation, run php artisan optimize:clear again and verify that the provider and Composer namespace were added correctly.
