First PDF Document

This is a simple example to generate a PDF on client-side (if you want to use it on server-side, see the server-side section).

To create your first PDF document you need to import PdfMakeWrapper and the fonts (pdfmake provides default fonts, you can use it), then you should set the fonts to use (to see how to use custom fonts, see custom fonts section) and create a PdfMakeWrapper instance to start adding some data to your PDF, finally call create method to generate the PDF.

// Import pdfmake-wrapper and the fonts to use
import { PdfMakeWrapper } from 'pdfmake-wrapper';
import * as pdfFonts from "pdfmake/build/vfs_fonts"; // fonts provided for pdfmake

// If any issue using previous fonts import. you can try this:
// import pdfFonts from "pdfmake/build/vfs_fonts";

// Set the fonts to use
PdfMakeWrapper.setFonts(pdfFonts);

const pdf = new PdfMakeWrapper();

pdf.add('Hello world!');

pdf.create().download();

KEEP IN MIND

Fonts are instantiated in the global scope when working in browser, for that reason configuring fonts once is more than enough and it's recommended to use PdfMakeWrapper.setFonts(fonts) in a bootstrap code or main module. Configuring fonts more times will have sense if you have bundles of separate generated fonts, but it is more common to have one bundle with many types of fonts.
