Create Apple Wallet Passes in Laravel

The Laravel passgenerator package allows you to create wallet passes compatible with Apple Wallet easily. There's not much documentation on this package, but the gist of it is creating a pass generator instance with a pass definition:

use Byte5\PassGenerator;
 
//...
$pass = new PassGenerator( 'somekindofid');
// Note: definitions can also be set from a JSON string
$pass->setPassDefinition([
    "description"       => "description",
    "formatVersion"     => 1,
    "organizationName"  => "organization",
    "passTypeIdentifier"=> "pass.com.example.appname",
    "serialNumber"      => "123456",
    "teamIdentifier"    => "teamid",
    "foregroundColor"   => "rgb(99, 99, 99)",
    "backgroundColor"   => "rgb(212, 212, 212)",
    "barcode" => [
        "message"   => "encodedmessageonQR",
        "format"    => "PKBarcodeFormatQR",
        "altText"   => "altextfortheQR",
        "messageEncoding"=> "utf-8",
    ],
    // ...
]);
 
$pass->addAsset(base_path('resources/assets/wallet/background.png'));
$pass->addAsset(base_path('resources/assets/wallet/thumbnail.png'));
// ...
 
$pkpass = $pass->create();

Once you have the pass instance, you can generate a response for the pass using something like the following in your controller. The pass is stored for future downloads using the configured storage disk:

return new Response($pkpass, 200, [
    'Content-Transfer-Encoding' => 'binary',
    'Content-Description' => 'File Transfer',
    'Content-Disposition' => 'attachment; filename="pass.pkpass"',
    'Content-length' => strlen($pkpass),
    'Content-Type' => PassGenerator::getPassMimeType(),
    'Pragma' => 'no-cache',
]);

You can learn more about this package, get full installation instructions, and view the source code on GitHub.

Note: the Byte5 package is a fork of thenextweb/passgenerator, which is no longer maintained according to this issue.
