Hello Friends,

I'll give you an example of how Laravel and Docusign may work together. I gave a brief explanation of how to incorporate Docusign into Laravel. You'll learn how to use the laravel docusign api. I gave a brief explanation of Laravel's Docusign electronic signing system.

Your pdf document will have an electronic signature created using DocuSign. A well-known and reliable e-signature website is DocuSign. To integrate integrated digital signs with your website, DocuSign also offers an API.

In this example, we will simply create a developer account with DocuSign. Then we will integrate the embedded signing document process with laravel. we will create routes and controllers to implement DocuSign API. we will add one sample pdf file with two signature options. you need to follow the below step to do a simple example.

Now let's start.

This is optional; however, if you have not created the laravel app, then you may go ahead and execute the below command:

composer create-project laravel/laravel example-app

Using the docusign/esign-client package will enable rapid access to the DocuSign api in this case. run the command below:

composer require docusign/esign-client    

In this step, we need DOCUSIGN_BASE_URL, DOCUSIGN_ACCOUNT_ID, DOCUSIGN_CLIENT_ID and DOCUSIGN_CLIENT_SECRET to access docusign api.

Therefore, the first step is to register as a developer on the Docusign website.

Let'sClick Hereto create developer account.

After creating successfully account, go to setting page and copy API Account ID, that we need to paste in .env file.

next, create application to click on "Add App and Integrate Key" button. then create new app.

After creating application then you need to copy Integration Key and Secret Key.

Note: You must have to add callback URL in your docusign, so they can redirect on back to laravel app.

Next, you need to add app key and secret add on .env file as like the below:

DOCUSIGN_BASE_URL=https://demo.docusign.net/restapi
DOCUSIGN_ACCOUNT_ID=2f178ddb...
DOCUSIGN_CLIENT_ID=083f0167...
DOCUSIGN_CLIENT_SECRET=674f6d3d...    

<?php
  
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;
  
use App\Http\Controllers\DocusignController;
/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Web Routes
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| Here is where you can register web routes for your application. These
| routes are loaded by the RouteServiceProvider within a group which
| contains the "web" middleware group. Now create something great!
|
*/ 
  
Route::get('/', function () {
    return view('welcome');
});
  
Route::get('docusign',[DocusignController::class, 'index'])->name('docusign');
Route::get('connect-docusign',[DocusignController::class, 'connectDocusign'])->name('connect.docusign');
Route::get('docusign/callback',[DocusignController::class,'callback'])->name('docusign.callback');
Route::get('sign-document',[DocusignController::class,'signDocument'])->name('docusign.sign');    

Here, we will create DocusignController with all the methods.

Then you need to download sample PDF file add on public/doc folder.

so let's copy the below code and add to controller file:

<?php
  
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
  
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use DocuSign\eSign\Configuration;
use DocuSign\eSign\Api\EnvelopesApi;
use DocuSign\eSign\Client\ApiClient;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Http;
use Exception;
use Session;

    }

        } catch (Exception $e) {

        }
    }

}    

In this step, we will create new blade file call docusign.blade.php. so let's update following file:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">

        @endif

                    <a href="{{ route('docusign.sign') }}" class="btn btn-primary">Click to Sign Document</a>

            </div>
        </div>  
    </div>
</body>
</html>    

All the required steps have been done, now you have to type the given below command and hit enter to run the Laravel app:

php artisan serve    

Now, Go to your web browser, type the given URL and view the app output:

http://localhost:8000/docusign    

Then, you need to click on Connect DocuSign and authenticate your docusign account.

After authenticate you will redirect back with following screen:

Then, you need to click on Click to Sign Document and you will able to sign your pdf file as like the below screen.

Then in end, you will redirect back and you will receive email with signed pdf file.

I hope it can help you...
