fillpdf 8.x-4.0-alpha1

Hi there! This is an incomplete alpha release of FillPDF for Drupal 8. See #2359213: #D8CX: I pledge that FillPDF will have a full Drupal 8 release on the day that Drupal 8 is released. for information about features that have not yet been ported.

Filling from FillPDF Service, using entities works. The usage method is similar to 7.x-1.x, but use one of the following formats to make the FillPDF Link work:

/fillpdf?fid=$fid&entity_type=node&entity_id=1 (if you omit entity_type, node is assumed
/fillpdf?fid=$fid&entity_ids[]=node:1

You can pretty much use any entity. The UI is fundamentally the same.

If you want to generate FillPDF Links programmatically, check out \Drupal\fillpdf\FillPdfLinkManipulator::generateLink() in particular. This returns a \Drupal\Core\Url. The module is documented reasonably well, so be sure to read the documentation and look at how the module itself does things. You can look at the stuff in src/Entity, src/Form, and src/Controller as a starting point; these reference some other classes you can also check out.
