Laravel-snappy: Passing variables.

[babakshaban]

Hi,

I have a function from within my controller (projectController) from which I call PDF::loadView in the hope of passing the view with a variable ($projects) to snappy.

My code is as

`public function exportPdf()
{
//$snappy = App::make("snappy.pdf");
//$snappy->generate("http://www.github.com", "/tmp/github2.pdf");
//
//$pdf=App::make("snappy.pdf.wrapper");
//$pdf->loadHTML("testing");
//

   $projects = Project::all();
   $projects->toArray();      
    $pdf = PDF::loadView("projects.index", $projects);
    return $pdf->download("invoice.pdf");

}`

The two commented out bits of code above work fine I am getting errors when passing a variable to loadView. The error is as follows.

`Whoops, looks like something went wrong.

The $projects array is being passed but it doesn"t seem like it is being recognised by the view? I"m I doing this the wrong way? I know variables can be passed to it.

Any hep would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks,
Bobbie.

Edit: Sorry for the formatting the output didn"t seem to format very well.

Same as a normal view, pass an array with data.
