react-pdf-html

<Html> component for react-pdf

Support for CSS via <style> tags and style attributes (limited to Style properties supported by react-pdf)
Browser CSS defaults with option for style reset
Basic <table>(attempted using flex layouts) <ul> and <ol> support
Ability to provide custom renderers for any tag

How it Works

Parses the HTML string into a JSON tree of nodes using node-html-parser
Parses any <style> tags in the document and style attributes using css-tree
Renders all nodes using the appropriate react-pdf components, applying cascading styles for each node as an array passed to the style prop:
- block/container nodes using <View>
- inline/text nodes using <Text>, with appropriate nesting and collapsing of whitepace
- <img> nodes using <Image>
- <a> nodes using <Link>

Installation

npm i react-pdf-html

    <pre>
function myCode() {
  const foo = 'bar';
}
</pre>
  </body>
</html>
`;

return (
  <Document>
    <Page>
      <Html>{html}</Html>
    </Page>
  </Document>
);

Rendering React Components

import ReactDOMServer from 'react-dom/server';

const element = (
  <html>
    <body>
      <style>
        {`
        .heading4 {
          background: darkgreen;
          color: white;
        }
        pre {
          background-color: #eee;
          padding: 10px;
        }`}
      </style>
      <h1>Heading 1</h1>
      <h2 style={{ backgroundColor: 'pink' }}>Heading 2</h2>
      ...
    </body>
  </html>
);

const html = ReactDOMServer.renderToStaticMarkup(element);

return (
  <Document>
    <Page>
      <Html>{html}</Html>
    </Page>
  </Document>
);

Props

type HtmlProps = {
  children: string; // the HTML
  collapse?: boolean; // Default: true. Collapse whitespace. If false, render newlines as breaks
  renderers?: HtmlRenderers; // Mapping of { tagName: HtmlRenderer }
  style?: Style | Style[]; // Html root View style
  stylesheet?: HtmlStyles | HtmlStyles[]; // Mapping of { selector: Style }
  resetStyles?: false; // If true, style/CSS reset
};

Overriding Element Styles

Provide a Stylesheet

const stylesheet = {
  // clear margins for all <p> tags
  p: {
    margin: 0,
  },
  // add pink background color to elements with class="special"
  ['.special']: {
    backgroundColor: 'pink',
  },
};

return (
  <Document>
    <Page>
      <Html stylesheet={stylesheet}>{html}</Html>
    </Page>
  </Document>
);

Inline Styles

const html = `<div style="width: 200px; height: 200px; background-color: pink">Foobar</div>`;

return (
  <Document>
    <Page>
      <Html>{html}</Html>
    </Page>
  </Document>
);

Resetting Styles

Reset browser default styles (see CSS reset)

return (
  <Document>
    <Page>
      <Html resetStyles>{html}</Html>
    </Page>
  </Document>
);

Font Sizes

The default styesheet roughly matches browser defaults, using a rough emulation of ems:

const em = (em: number, relativeSize: number = fontSize) => em * relativeSize;

StyleSheet.create({
  h1: {
    fontSize: em(2),
    marginVertical: em(0.67, em(2)),
    fontWeight: 'bold',
  },
  ...
});

By default, the basis for the font size ems is based on the fontSize from props.style:

return (
  <Document>
    <Page>
      <Html style={{ fontSize: 10 }}>{html}</Html>
    </Page>
  </Document>
);

If this is not defined, it falls back to a default of 18
