Rotativa + Net Core

Wkhtmltopdf.NetCore

This project implements the library wkhtmltopdf for asp net core, working in Windows, Linux, macOS and docker.

For more information about how to use it, go to https://github.com/fpanaccia/Wkhtmltopdf.NetCore.Example

But i don't want to see another repository

You will need to put this files with this following structure, this need to be done because nuget cant copy those files, only puts a link with the full path and will only work on your computer.

The structure will need to be on the folder of your project

    .
    ├── Example
    |   ├── Example.csproj
    |   └── Rotativa
    |   |   ├── Linux
    |   |   |   └── wkhtmltopdf
    |   |   ├── Mac
    |   |   |   └── wkhtmltopdf
    |   |   └── Windows
    |   |       └── wkhtmltopdf.exe
    └── Example.sln

Those files will need to be included in your project with the propierty "Copy Always", then add to your Startup.cs in ConfigureServices method, this line "services.AddWkhtmltopdf();", like this

    // This method gets called by the runtime. Use this method to add services to the container.
    public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
    {            
        services.AddControllers();
        services.AddWkhtmltopdf();
    }

If you are using the docker container for net core provided from microsoft, you need to add this line to the dockerfile "RUN apt-get update -qq && apt-get -y install libgdiplus libc6-dev", like this

    FROM mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/core/aspnet:3.1-buster-slim AS base
    WORKDIR /app
    RUN apt-get update -qq && apt-get -y install libgdiplus libc6-dev
    EXPOSE 80

In linux you also need to install the same libraries used in the dockerfile, they are libgdiplus, libc6-dev
