Setup

You'll need to add PdfmakeModule to your application module.

import { PdfmakeModule } from 'ng-pdf-make';

    @NgModule({
      imports: [
        PdfmakeModule
      ],
      declarations: [
        AppComponent
      ],
      providers: [],
      bootstrap: [AppComponent]

      export class AppModule {}
})

Usage

Use the pdfmake service in your component:

import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { PdfmakeService } from 'ng-pdf-make/pdfmake/pdfmake.service';

@Component({
  selector: 'ng-example',
  templateUrl: './example.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./example.component.css']
})
export class ExampleComponent implements OnInit {

  // Inject pdfmake service
  constructor(public pdfmake: PdfmakeService) { }

  ngOnInit() {

    // Create a pdf document
    // IMPORTANT: if a document was created before, this method will destroy it and
    // create a new instance.
    this.pdfmake.create();

    // Configure text styles  
    this.pdfmake.configureStyles({ header: { fontSize: 18, bold: true } });

    // Add a text with style
    this.pdfmake.addText('This is a header, using header style', 'header');

    // Add a text with custom style
    this.pdfmake.addText('This is a header, using a custom style', { fontSize: 16, bold: true });

    // Add simple text
    this.pdfmake.addText('This is an sample PDF printed with pdfMake');

    // Add large text
    this.pdfmake.addText('Another paragraph, this time a little bit longer to make sure, this line will be divided into at least two lines');

    // Array with colums
    const columns = [
        'Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit.

    ];

    // Add columns
    this.pdfmake.addColumns(columns);

    // List to add
    const list1 = ['item 1', 'item 2', 'item 3'];
    const list2 = ['item 1', 'item 2', 'item 3'];
    const list3 = ['item 1', 'item 2', 'item 3'];
    const list4 = ['item 1', 'item 2', 'item 3'];

    // Adding unordered list
    this.pdfmake.addUnorderedlist(list1);

    // Adding ordered list
    this.pdfmake.addOrderedList(list2);

    // Adding reversed oredered list
    this.pdfmake.addOrderedList(list3, true);

    // Adding ordered list starting at 50
    this.pdfmake.addOrderedList(list4, false, 50);

    // Add image from url
    this.pdfmake.addImage('http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/4a/Logo_2013_Google.png');

    // Add image from url using custom width and height.
    this.pdfmake.addImage('http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/4a/Logo_2013_Google.png', 300, 150);

    // Add image from localhost and using width
    this.pdfmake.addImage('http://localhost:4200/assets/daniel.jpg', 200);

    // Destroy pdf instance
    // You can destroy intencionally the pdf instance
    // this.pdfmake.destroy();
  }
}

Use tables

To use tables is necesary import some objects to create cells, rows an the table:

import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { PdfmakeService } from 'ng-pdf-make/pdfmake/pdfmake.service';
import { Cell, Row, Table } from 'ng-pdf-make/objects/table';

@Component({
  selector: 'ng-example',
  templateUrl: './example.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./example.component.css']
})
export class ExampleComponent implements OnInit {

  constructor(private pdfmake: PdfmakeService) { }

  ngOnInit() {

    // Create Headers cells
    const header1 = new Cell('Header1');
    const header2 = new Cell('Header2');
    const header3 = new Cell('Header3', { fillColor: '#cecece' });

    // Create headers row
    const headerRows = new Row([header1, header2, header3]);

    // Create a content row
    const row1 = new Row([new Cell('One value goes here '), new Cell('Another one here'), new Cell('OK?')]);

    // Custom  column widths
    const widths = [100, '*', 200, '*'];

    // Create table object
    const table = new Table(headerRows, [row1], widths);

    // Add table to document
    this.pdfmake.addTable(table);
  }
}

Functions

To use the open, download and print functions you can override the methods in the service or call it directly.

in your view

<button (click)="pdfmake.open()">Open PDF</button>
<button (click)="pdfmake.print()">Print PDF</button>
<button (click)="pdfmake.download()">Download PDF</button>

or

in your controller

    openPdf(){
        this.pdfmake.open();
    }

    printPdf(){
        this.pdfmake.print();
    }

    downloadPDF(){
        this.pdfmake.download();
    }

    downloadPdfWithName(customName: string){
        this.pdfmake.download(customName);
    }

Advance

If you need to use some unimplemented function, you can send the tradicional dictionary document structure to the documentDefinition attribute in the service.

    pdfmake.documentDefinition = { ... }
