XF 2.0 Does the Email functionality in XF2 support attachments?

[DragonByte Tech]

Sorry for not having done research into this and asking blindly, but I figured it would be best to ask now so that if the answer is "No", I can add the Suggestion thread sooner rather than later

I'm going to want to automatically attach pre-generated PDF invoices to "Thank you for your purchase" emails.

Thanks!

Not tested this, but we do expose a way to get the Swift_Message object, so it should be possible like this:

$mail = $this->app()->mailer()->newMail()
    ->setToUser($user)
    ->setTemplate($template, $params);

$mail->getMessageObject()->attach(\Swift_Attachment::fromPath('path-to-file.pdf'));

$mail->queue();

Shiny, thanks

I've had a quick search through the code and I don't think XF or any of its vendor modules include a way to generate PDF from HTML. I'm not sure if you did this in your Xen Product Manager add-on - if you have any experience doing this, which library would you recommend?

I believe this is an old one I've used before, not really updated it for years though: https://github.com/dompdf/dompdf

No I didn't do that in XPM.

I tend to find packages to use via https://packagist.org/?q=pdf&p=0.

That said, dompdf seems to be the most popular. It was last updated 5 days ago:
