Currently SocialStack has an installable module for generating PDFs on the frontend which is just a very thin wrapper for [[https://github.com/parallax/jsPDF jsPDF]]. It is suitable for use in app projects as well as offline ones, and introduces minimal bloat to your site/ its load time.

= Getting Started =

First, install the module in to your project:

<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
socialstack i UI/Functions/JsPdf
</syntaxhighlight>

To use it, call createPdfwhich returns a promise. This is such that it can be [[Lazy loading|lazy loaded]] when necessary:

<syntaxhighlight lang="js">

import {createPdf} from 'UI/Functions/JsPdf';

...
// When you would like to start building a pdf:
createPdf({
orientation: "landscape",
unit: "in",
format: [4, 2]
}).then(doc => {
doc.text("Hello world!", 10, 10);
doc.save("a4.pdf");
})

</syntaxhighlight>

createPdf will simply pass the object you give it to the [[https://github.com/parallax/jsPDF#usage jsPDF constructor]]. The response is the jsPDF object.
