react-documents

This component can be used to show several different document types in a React app.

Documents that are publicly available can be shown in an iframe using the google or office document viewer.

Pdf files and word document that are not publicly available can be shown using the mammoth viewer or pdf viewer by passing an objectUrl.

This package is created from ngx-doc-viewer which is the Angular version.

Changes

Install the NPM Module

npm install react-documents --save

Usage

1. Add DocViewer to component:

import { DocumentViewer } from 'react-documents';

  <DocumentViewer
    queryParams="hl=Nl"
    url={selectedDoc}
    viewerUrl={selectedViewer.viewerUrl}
    viewer={selectedViewer.name}
    overrideLocalhost="https://react-doc-viewer.firebaseapp.com/">
  </DocumentViewer>

To

API:

Props:

• url: document url.
• viewer: google (default), office, mammoth, pdf or url
• viewerUrl: only for viewer: 'url'; location of the document renderer. Only use this option for other viewers then google or office.
• queryParams, e.g. to set language. for google: hl=[lang] e.g. hl=nl
• overrideLocalhost: documents from the assets folder are not publicly available and therefor won't show in an external viewer (google, office). If the site is already published to public server, then pass that url and if will replace localhost by the other url. Like: overrideLocalhost="https://react-documents.firebaseapp.com/"

There are some issues loading document in the google viewer. See: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/40414039/google-docs-viewer-returning-204-responses-no-longer-working-alternatives. If loading pdf's and Word documents, seems to work now with this hack let me know via a Github issue.

• googleCheckContentLoaded = true | If true it will check by interval if the content is loaded.

• googleCheckInterval = 3000 | The interval in milliseconds that is checked whether the iframe is loaded.

• googleMaxChecks = 5 | max number of retries Output:

• loaded: google only, notifies when iframe is loaded. Can be used to show progress while loading
