Goals
- Simple drop-in PDF viewer with no configuration required
- No build steps required
- Works from a CDN
- Optional configuration for power-users:
- Exposes most useful pdf.js options
- Customization via DOM: CSS variables, slots, parts, etc.
- Adapt pdf.js to the DOM: ie, pipe events back through elements
Project Goals
Why make this?
- Learn pdf.js
- Create a useful framework-agnostic element for the web ecosystem
- Gain experience with tricky module, worker, and asynchronous timing issues within web component wrappers
- Convince pdf.js to distribute modules and web components directly?
TODO
- Controls replaceable via
<slot>
s - Tests
- Pipe events from pdf.js event-bus into DOM elements
- Options: rotation, auto-size
- Use ResizeObserver for auto-size
- Use IntersectionObserver for laziness
