proseMirror-pdfMake

parser for proseMirror to pdfmake. It formats the proseMirror json to a pdfMake json structure.

usage

// viewData is the data that comes from proseMirror
// prosePdf.parser(data, defaultFontSize), defaultFontSize is optional and it defaults to 10

  var data = data.state.doc.toJSON();
  var pdfMakeJson = prosePdf.parser(data);
  
  // in pdfmake playground:  http://pdfmake.org/playground.html
  var dd = { content: pdfMakeJson }

how it works

It takes all marks and creates a "style" for each. In pdfmake you need to create a styles object that corresponds to the marks in proseMirror ie: for bold, if you use have a b: {bold:true}, if you use , have b:{bold true} etc. See what options you have in pdfmake decorations and expand your styles object as needed.

  styles: {
    b: {
      bold: true
    },
    i: {
      italics: true
    },
     u: {
      decoration: 'underline'
    },
    a: {
      color: "blue",
      decoration: 'underline'
    },
     mark: {
      background: "yellow",
    },
