Laravel-snappy: Call to undefined method Knp\Snappy\Pdf::loadView()

[leonardosapiras]

When I tried to get an pdf from the code below I got "Call to undefined method Knp\Snappy\Pdf::loadView()"

$data = [];
$pdf = PDF::loadView('test_view', $data);
return $pdf->download('test.pdf');

In my config/app.php I set the provider index 'Barryvdh\Snappy\ServiceProvider', and I also set the alias 'PDF' => 'Barryvdh\SnappyFacades\SnappyPdf'

I am working with Laravel 5.1

Did you import the class?

use Barryvdh\Snappy\Facades\SnappyPdf as PDF;

Looks like you're IDE probably automatically imported Knp\Snappy\Pdf when you typed PDF::.
To use the facade that you've properly set up, just put $pdf = \PDF::loadView('test_view',$data);
Facades will resolve from \<facadeName>:: to the class listed in config/app.php automatically, removing the need for the line above that Chris suggested.
