PDF Generation

Currently SocialStack has an installable module for generating PDFs on the frontend which is just a very thin wrapper for [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:

socialstack i UI/Functions/JsPdf

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

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");
})

createPdf will simply pass the object you give it to the [jsPDF constructor]. The response is the jsPDF object.
