In this tutorial, you will learn how to add a feature to your ReactJS application that allows users to download web pages as PDF files using html2canvas and jspdf libraries.
Firstly, you will install and set up the necessary libraries, including html2canvas, which is used to capture the HTML content of the web page as an image, and jspdf, which is used to convert the captured image into a PDF file.
Next, you will create a React component that captures the content of the web page using html2canvas and converts it into a base64 encoded image. You will then use jspdf to create a PDF document from the captured image and provide a download link for the user to save the file.
Throughout the tutorial, you will learn how to handle different scenarios, such as when the web page has multiple pages or when the captured image is too large, by splitting the image into multiple parts and combining them into a single PDF document.
By the end of this tutorial, you will have a complete understanding of how to download web pages as PDF files in ReactJS using html2canvas and jspdf libraries. This tutorial is suitable for anyone with a basic understanding of ReactJS and JavaScript….(read more)
