Motivation
Providing pdfmake as an npm module, which can be required.
Removing boilerplate code, that is required when one uses pdfmake with frameworks line AngularJS.
Tests
A small AngularJS example is provided in the test directory.
The commands below will build the module bundle and open a browser. The page provides buttons to check open and download capabilities manually.
npm install
npm start
Minification for Production
During your production builds, including this module, you want to exclude this module from minification/uglification/compression, as it is already minified. The same is true for custom fonts. Both are pretty big and will slow minification/uglification/compression down.
Comparing pdfmake-browserified and pdfmake
pdfmake-browserified can be used like the original pdfmake via script-tag in an HTML page. With the same method signature: createPdf(docDefinition, fonts, vfs).open();
But: It can be used via require('pdfmake-browserify') in Node applications, too. In Node, the method signature stays the same: createPdf(docDefinition, fonts, vfs).open();
