Invoice filenames are month-based. about cashier-mollie

[sandervanhooft]

Oh sorry

I meant orderId_app_name_snake_case.pdf

[MSnoeren]

Yeah, looks great. Filenames will be unique and traceable.

[sandervanhooft]

I agree @MSnoeren that the automatically generated invoice reference (id) would be a better default.

Perhaps we could bind an InvoiceFilenameGenerator into the container with this behaviour?

It could take the Invoice object as input.

[MSnoeren]

Yeah, that would be great. If neccesary, others can create a custom class to generate their own filenames.

[sandervanhooft]

How about this for default: YYY-MM-DD-app_name_snake_case.pdf?

[sandervanhooft]

Putting it on my list. Feel free to submit a PR, otherwise I'll pick it up whenever I find the time.

Hi guys,
I'm going to use mollie with cashier package and can help on enhancements if needed.

Here in italy we organize phisical invoice archives by a number (called protocol, similar to invoice number) but when we needs to manage digital invoices a common patters is:

yyyymmdd_invnumber.pdf

Is unclear what app_name is for? if you refer to config('app.name') this can be userd by company with more than one department or for invoices downloaded by customer then you can simply:

yyyymmdd_invnumber_appname.pdf

[sandervanhooft]

Thanks @Mindexperiment,

The app name indeed refers to the config app name. Invoices tend to end up in a customer’s download folder, appending the app name will make it more readable there.

I have prepared this for the v1 release. The separate filename generator is not yet included. Feel free to send in a PR for that.
