jsPDF VS highcharts-react

jsPDF is a popular JavaScript PDF generator that allows users to generate PDF files in the web browser dynamically. The library is well-maintained, stable, easy to use, and has rich documentation.

I haven't had to generate PDF files from the browser, but jsPDF looks promising.

So, as advised on the github page https://github.com/parallax/jsPDF i tried to source the new version of jsPDF using either the first or second src that you see in comment in the code below.

was working fine. But it seems this version does not have the function to do dashed lines, so i wanted a newer version. I tried downloading the folder of the newest one, or tu put : as mentionned in this page : https://github.com/parallax/jsPDF, but now i got a bug when i try to create the pdf and the code stops at the instruction var doc = new jsPDF(); I hope have i been clear, sorry i'm kind of trying out things...

You can use the .NET built-in datagrid, write your own .csv export (it's about 15 lines of code), and use jsPDF to convert the datagrid content to pdf using JavaScript.

🔀 Repositório no GitHub

Didn't try but there is https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js to read and https://github.com/parallax/jsPDF to write back so I imagine it could all be done in the browser, no app required. I'm not sure if there is already a project that combine both and use the canvas as a sketching support but have a look and if there isn't one I might prototype as it could be interesting for the PineNote.

First, let's add highcharts and highcharts-react-official (it's an official Highcharts wrapper for React) dependencies:

I prefer Highcharts it's really easy to us JS library drop into a project and they have a react.js wrapper on github really easy to use documentation is clear cut and simple. As a Jr. Dev I figured it out in a day. Just note the charts handle data a little differently more like an object so just be careful with how you pull the data from the backend to the front. Oh and if you run into slow render time it's no the data it's usually the drawing of the chart that eats up load time but it's easy to fix.
