The print-js npm package is a lightweight JavaScript library that allows you to easily print content from your web pages. It supports printing HTML elements, PDFs, and images, making it a versatile tool for web developers who need to implement printing functionality in their applications.
Print HTML Elements
This feature allows you to print specific HTML elements by providing the element's ID. The 'type' parameter is set to 'html' to indicate that the content to be printed is HTML.
printJS({ printable: 'elementId', type: 'html' });Print PDF Files
This feature allows you to print PDF files by providing the path to the PDF file. The 'type' parameter is set to 'pdf' to indicate that the content to be printed is a PDF file.
printJS({ printable: 'path/to/pdf/file.pdf', type: 'pdf' });Print Images
This feature allows you to print images by providing the path to the image file. The 'type' parameter is set to 'image' to indicate that the content to be printed is an image.
printJS({ printable: 'path/to/image.jpg', type: 'image' });The 'print-this' package is a jQuery plugin that provides similar functionality to print-js. It allows you to print specific parts of a web page, including HTML elements and their styles. Unlike print-js, which is a standalone JavaScript library, print-this requires jQuery as a dependency.
The 'react-to-print' package is a React component that provides printing functionality for React applications. It allows you to print React components and their styles. This package is specifically designed for use with React, whereas print-js can be used with any JavaScript application.
The 'printd' package is a lightweight library for printing HTML content. It creates an iframe to load the content to be printed, ensuring that the printed content is isolated from the rest of the page. This approach is similar to print-js, but printd focuses on providing a minimal and straightforward API for printing HTML content.
