KoolReport can be used in Laravel or any MVC frameworks. You create report from KoolReport normally as you do. Then to start the report in Laravel you do:
Route::get('/testreport', function(){
$report = new SaleReport;
$report->run();
return view('testreport',["report"=>$report]);
});
At the view of Laravel:
<div>
<?php $report->render(); ?>
</div>
Let me know if you need further assistance.
Here is the step to setup KoolReport in Laravel:
Step 1 Download KoolReport
Step 2 Unzip and copy koolreport folder into vendor folder under your laravel project.
Step 3 In folder app, create folder name "Reports"
Step 4 Create MyReport.php and MyReport.view.php with following content:
<?php
//MyReport.php
namespace App\Reports;
require_once dirname(__FILE__)."/../../vendor/koolreport/autoload.php";
class MyReport extends \koolreport\KoolReport
{
//We leave this blank to demo only
}
<!-- MyReport.view.php -->
<html>
<head>
<title>My Report</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>It works</h1>
</body>
</html>
Step 5 In your folder app/Http/Controllers create ReportController.php with following content:
<?php
// ReportController.php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use App\Reports\MyReport;
class ReportController extends Controller
{
public function __contruct()
{
$this->middleware("guest");
}
public function index()
{
$report = new MyReport;
$report->run();
return view("report",["report"=>$report]);
}
}
Step 6 In the resources/view, you add report.blade.php with following content:
<?php echo $report->render(); ?>
Step 7 In your routes/web.php, you add the route to ReportController@index
Route::get('/report', "ReportController@index");
All done! Now if you go to "http://localhost/yourlaravelproject/public/report", you will see the page "It works" meaning that KoolReport has been running.

}
function method2(){
report1.view.php /// how view file call by name

Fahad,
KoolReport does not have separate methods in controller so basically you create another report. For example you may have SaleReport.php, CustomerReport.php.. each report has its own data connection, processing and visualization. If you need to use the same data connection for all report. You may create a BaseReport.php in which you have your connection in setup() function and all other reports will derive from it. If you use the \koolreport\laravel\Friendship then your report can use Laravel database directly, you may not need the BaseReport like I suggested.
