React renderer for creating PDF files

This project was created to show some concepts on a talk, and it's purely experimental. You can check out the slides of the talk here

Now using the new React Fiber API!

How it works

ReactPDF mounter is called ReactPDF and has a render method that recieves a React Element and a path where the PDF file will be generated.

import React from 'react';
import ReactPDF from 'react-pdf-node';
import { Page, Text, StyleSheet, Document } from 'react-pdf';

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
  container: {
    flexDirection: 'column',
  },
  lorem: {
    color: 'red'
  },
  sed: {
    color: '#0000FF'
  }
});

const doc = (
  <Document>
    <Page size="A4" style={styles.container}>
      <View>
        <Text style={styles.lorem}>
          Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit
        </Text>
      </View>
      <View>
        <Text style={styles.sed}>
          Sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua
        </Text>
      </View>
    </Page>
  </Document>
);

ReactPDF.render(doc, `${__dirname}/example.pdf`);
