Laravel DOMPDF not generating HTML pdf file with dynamic data

Question

hi guys, im trying to use barryvdh/laravel-dompdf, everything works fine except i cant load my data to the view to dynamically produce content, i keep getting 'Undefined variable: data'

here is my code:

  $data =[
    'fname'=>Input::get('efname'),
    'lname'=>Input::get('elname'),
    'dob'=>Input::get('edob'),
    'reg_date'=>date('Y-m-d'),
    'email'=>Input::get('eemailaddrs'),
    'gender'=>Input::get('gender'),
    'mobile'=>Input::get('emobile'),
    'p_addrss'=>Input::get('epaddress'),
    'c_addrss'=>Input::get('ecaddress'),
    'quals'=>Input::get('quali'),
    'pdfname'=>$pdfname,
    'empId'=>Input::get('employeeId'),
    ];
return PDF::loadView('employee/generatepdf',$data)
        ->save(public_path().'/pdfs/'.$pdfname.'.pdf');

its going to pdf template page..But cant get the array values.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
 <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"/>
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<img align="center" src="{{public_path()}}/assets/img/logo.png">
<table align="center" style="width:100%;margin-top:25px;">
<tr>
    <td style="width:50%">Registration ID</td>
    <td style="width:50%">:{{$data['empId']}}</td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td style="width:50%">Name</td>
    <td style="width:50%">:{{$data['fname']}} {{$data['lname']}}</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>

You can check if array contain data or not by :

    $data =[
    'fname'=>Input::get('efname'),
    'lname'=>Input::get('elname'),
    'dob'=>Input::get('edob'),
    'reg_date'=>date('Y-m-d'),
    'email'=>Input::get('eemailaddrs'),
    'gender'=>Input::get('gender'),
    'mobile'=>Input::get('emobile'),
    'p_addrss'=>Input::get('epaddress'),
    'c_addrss'=>Input::get('ecaddress'),
    'quals'=>Input::get('quali'),
    'pdfname'=>$pdfname,
    'empId'=>Input::get('employeeId'),
    ];
  dd($data);
 return PDF::loadView('employee/generatepdf',$data)->save(public_path().'/pdfs/'.$pdfname.'.pdf');

just try it and you will find if your array contain data or not

Try like that, Use an array as second argument for the view.

return PDF::loadView('employee/generatepdf',array('data'=>$data));

You need to pass $data variable using compact() function

return PDF::loadView('employee/generatepdf',compact('data'))
    ->save(public_path().'/pdfs/'.$pdfname.'.pdf');
