ecars VS pdfmake

For the eCars app that we’re building, the activity will be to write an APEX test class for the PdfCreateService that we used in the prior session to call a Heroku microservice for generating PDF documents. The eCars code can be found at the linked Github repo and I have also included a link to the specific PdfCreateService class. If you have not gone through the exercise of pulling the code into a Salesforce Developer org or a scratch org, you’ll want to review some of the previous articles to take that pre-requisite step or follow the instructions in the Github repo on how to clone and deploy the application.

The Javascript car configurator app we are going to test can be found on the eCars app Github repository. If you’ve been following along with this series, then you should have already done some previous setup work installing the repo in VS Code and deploying it to a Salesforce scratch org.

I'll share a step-by-step tutorial building the app, what I've learned, some of the highlights, and my take on some of the content. You can find all the code for the project here.

To start, let’s review the steps for Automated Deployment as also listed on the readme section in the Github repo. Julian has created a script (a Node.js program that will make this process easier) to get this up and running in the Salesforce and Heroku platforms. All of the installation pre-reqs, keys, and steps to configure your operating system before we move forward with deployment can be found here.

PDFmake or pdf-lib would be the way to go in my opinion.

Pdfmake (http://pdfmake.org)

Perhaps consider taking your serialized data directly to pdfmake and cut out the middle transformation. The playground (examples on the top tool bar row) are extremely fast and tight.

I have some data, and I'd like to make a PDF file for that data. How can I make a PDF file as a quick way in React. In this post, I will try to do it fast as possible in React using PdfMake library.

What you will be using to generate the pdf invoices ?, i use PdfMake, and i generate it all on front with Vue2.

So how do we do this? First, the configuration information data gets sent from Salesforce to the Heroku microservice. Heroku is using Node.js and a few libraries/modules to achieve this—specifically, Fastify, PDFmake, and JSforce. One of the beauties of Heroku is the ability to combine all of these libraries to build powerful applications for a variety of use cases. Now some descriptions of each library:
