Installation

Install the bundle using Composer:

composer require rampmaster/phpepub-bundle

Enable the Bundle

If you're using Symfony Flex, the bundle will be automatically enabled. Otherwise, add it to your config/bundles.php:

<?php

return [
    // ...
    Rampmaster\PhpEpubBundle\RampmasterPhpEpubBundle::class => ['all' => true],
];

Configuration

Create a configuration file config/packages/rampmaster_php_epub.yaml:

rampmaster_php_epub:
    default_language: 'en'    # Default language for EPUB books
    default_version: '3.2'    # Default EPUB version (2.0.1, 3.0, 3.0.1, 3.1, 3.2)

All configuration options are optional and have sensible defaults.

Usage

Using the Factory Service

Inject the EPub factory service into your controller or service:

<?php

namespace App\Controller;

use Rampmaster\PhpEpubBundle\Factory\EPubFactory;
use Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\Controller\AbstractController;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response;
use Symfony\Component\Routing\Annotation\Route;

class BookController extends AbstractController
{
    #[Route('/generate-book', name: 'generate_book')]
    public function generateBook(EPubFactory $epubFactory): Response
    {
        // Create a new EPUB book with default settings
        $book = $epubFactory->create();
        
        // Set mandatory metadata
        $book->setTitle("My First eBook");
        $book->setIdentifier("http://example.com/books/1", \Rampmaster\EPub\Core\EPub::IDENTIFIER_URI);
        $book->setAuthor("John Doe", "Doe, John");
        
        // Add a chapter
        $content = "<h1>Chapter 1</h1><p>Welcome to my book.</p>";
        $book->addChapter("Chapter 1", "chapter1.xhtml", $content);
        
        // Finalize and save
        $book->finalize();
        $book->saveBook("my_book", "/tmp");
        
        return new Response('Book generated successfully!');
    }
}

Create Specific EPUB Versions

// Create an EPUB 2.0.1 book
$book = $epubFactory->createEpub2();

// Create an EPUB 3.0 book
$book = $epubFactory->createEpub3();

// Create an EPUB 3.0.1 book
$book = $epubFactory->createEpub301();

// Create an EPUB 3.1 book
$book = $epubFactory->createEpub31();

// Create an EPUB 3.2 book (default)
$book = $epubFactory->createEpub32();

// Create with a specific version
$book = $epubFactory->create('3.1');

Advanced Features
