react-pdf VS typst

Using react-pdf, we crafted a solution that allowed users to manipulate their reports with an impressive degree of flexibility. But, as data grew (imagine trying to cram an entire financial year's worth of invoices, up to 22,000 rows, into one PDF), our solution began to falter, especially on older PCs with limited resources.

https://github.com/diegomura/react-pdf is good as well if you want to use React.

Been using https://github.com/diegomura/react-pdf for this purpose for years

Uses React Native like components and styling.

Thank you. This is certainly possible. The library I'm using for rendering the PDF (https://react-pdf.org/) does support Node.js as well. This is a good point, I suppose a lot of people will have their resumes in GitHub.

So something like this for the signature and you could use react-pdf for the PDF. Although you should consider lazy loading as it’s a big library, or render the PDF on the server to prevent bloating your UI.

I'm using the "react-pdf" library to generate a small PDF with some information needed by the user. Its supposed to look like a receipt and it will be printed by a thermal printer that can print basically any PDF if it is configured properly (page size etc). I can generate the PDF without any problems and render it to the screen. But at the moment I need to implement the 'print' feature of this same PDF, but I'm not having success into making this happen. Im using "printJS" library too.

Did you look into KendoReact PDF Generator and React-pdf?

https://github.com/typst/typst looks promising, both the language and the tooling. I wonder where it will find its place in a world that is dominated by either Word or LaTex.

I hope in a couple of years we start seeing posts like these with Typst instead of LaTeX. It seems like setting this up would be a bit easier since Typst is much more concise than LaTeX.

For writing math notes (especially in vim), I switch to using Typst (https://typst.app).

Here's a few points:

- The syntax is a lot lighter and easier to type fast. I was up and running in half hour after starting to use it. Once in a while I can look up some symbol name in the docs but that's about it.

- Empty document is a valid document. No preambles, no includes etc, it's all optional and the defaults are sensible. Just start typing.

- It's incremental. Live preview from neovim is in the browser and it's lightning fast, pretty much immediate. No pdf sync pain. No build files, makefiles and all that. Just start typing.

While it's not going to beat latex in terms of serious academic use, for personal use and notes it's close to perfect.

(And of course it's written in Rust...)

Except the main theme, which was HTML export? https://github.com/typst/typst/issues/721

Though it's in the roadmap!

I don't use LaTeX for anything these days but Typst popped up recently and seems like a decent alternative: https://github.com/typst/typst

I am surprised that no one mentions the typst. It is super smooth with typst-preview.

I suggest you ask in the discord channel: https://discord.gg/2uDybryKPe. Or open an issue or question on GitHub: https://github.com/typst/typst
