Generate PDF tables with Javascript
This jsPDF plugin adds the ability to generate PDF tables either by parsing HTML tables or by using Javascript data directly. Check out the demo or examples.
Get jsPDF and this plugin by doing one of these things:
npm install jspdf jspdf-autotable- Download jspdf and jspdf-autotable from github
- Use a CDN, for example: https://unpkg.com/jspdf and https://unpkg.com/jspdf-autotable
import jsPDF from 'jspdf'
import autoTable from 'jspdf-autotable'
const doc = new jsPDF()
// It can parse html:
// <table id="my-table"><!-- ... --></table>
autoTable(doc, { html: '#my-table' })
// Or use javascript directly:
autoTable(doc, {
head: [['Name', 'Email', 'Country']],
body: [
['David', '[email protected]', 'Sweden'],
['Castille', '[email protected]', 'Spain'],
// ...
],
})
// Sometimes you might have to call the default function on the export (for example in Deno)
autoTable.default(doc, { html: '#my-table' })
doc.save('table.pdf')You can also use the plugin methods directly on the jsPDF documents:
import jsPDF from 'jspdf'
import 'jspdf-autotable'
const doc = new jsPDF()
doc.autoTable({ html: '#my-table' })
doc.save('table.pdf')The third usage option is with downloaded or CDN dist files
<script src="jspdf.min.js"></script>
<script src="jspdf.plugin.autotable.min.js"></script>
<script>
var doc = new jsPDF()
doc.autoTable({ html: '#my-table' })
doc.save('table.pdf')
</script>Checkout more examples in examples.js which is also the source code for the demo documents.
Below is a list of all options supported in the plugin. All of them are used in the examples.
The only thing required is either the html or body option. If you want more control over the columns you can specify the columns property. If columns are not set they will be automatically computed based on the content of the html content or head, body and foot.
html: string|HTMLTableElementA css selector (for example "#table") or an html table element.head: CellDef[][]For example [['ID', 'Name', 'Country']]body: CellDef[][]For example [['1', 'Simon', 'Sweden'], ['2', 'Karl', 'Norway']]foot: CellDef[][]For example [['ID', 'Name', 'Country']]columns: ColumnDef[]For example [{header: 'ID', dataKey: 'id'}, {header: 'Name', dataKey: 'name'}]. Only use this option if you want more control over the columns. If not specified the columns will be automatically generated based on the content in html or head/body/footincludeHiddenHtml: boolean = falseIf hidden html withdisplay: noneshould be included or not when the content comes from an html table
CellDef: string|{content: string, rowSpan: number, colSpan: number, styles: StyleDef}
Note that cell styles can also be set dynamically with hooks.
ColumnDef: string|{header?: string, dataKey: string}
The header property is optional and the values of any content in head will be used if not set. Normally it's easier to use the html or head/body/foot style of initiating a table, but columns can be useful if your body content comes directly from an api or if you would like to specify a dataKey on each column to make it more readable to style specific columns in the hooks or columnStyles.
Usage with colspan, rowspan and inline cell styles:
autoTable(doc, {
body: [
[{ content: 'Text', colSpan: 2, rowSpan: 2, styles: { halign: 'center' } }],
],
})theme: 'striped'|'grid'|'plain' = 'striped'styles: StyleDefheadStyles: StyleDefbodyStyles: StyleDeffootStyles: StyleDefalternateRowStyles: StyleDefcolumnStyles: {&columnDataKey: StyleDef}Note that the columnDataKey is normally the index of the column, but could also be thedataKeyof a column if content initialized with the columns property
StyleDef:
font: 'helvetica'|'times'|'courier' = 'helvetica'fontStyle: 'normal'|'bold'|'italic'|'bolditalic' = 'normal'overflow: 'linebreak'|'ellipsize'|'visible'|'hidden' = 'linebreak'fillColor: Color? = nulltextColor: Color? = 20cellWidth: 'auto'|'wrap'|number = 'auto'minCellWidth: number? = 10minCellHeight: number = 0halign: 'left'|'center'|'right' = 'left'valign: 'top'|'middle'|'bottom' = 'top'fontSize: number = 10cellPadding: Padding = 10lineColor: Color = 10lineWidth: border = 0// If 0, no border is drawn
Color:
Either false for transparent, hex string, gray level 0-255 or rbg array e.g. [255, 0, 0]
false|string|number|[number, number, number]
Padding:
Either a number or object {top: number, right: number, bottom: number, left: number}
border:
Either a number or object {top: number, right: number, bottom: number, left: number}
Styles work similar to css and can be overridden by more specific styles. Overriding order:
- Theme styles
stylesheadStyles,bodyStylesandfootStylesalternateRowStylescolumnStyles
Styles for specific cells can also be applied using either the hooks (see hooks section above) or the styles property on the cell definition object (see content section above).
Example usage of column styles (note that the 0 in the columnStyles below should be dataKey if columns option used)
// Example usage with columnStyles,
autoTable(doc, {
styles: { fillColor: [255, 0, 0] },
columnStyles: { 0: { halign: 'center', fillColor: [0, 255, 0] } }, // Cells in first column centered and green
margin: { top: 10 },
body: [
['Sweden', 'Japan', 'Canada'],
['Norway', 'China', 'USA'],
['Denmark', 'China', 'Mexico'],
],
})
// Example usage of columns property. Note that America will not be included even though it exist in the body since there is no column specified for it.
autoTable(doc, {
columnStyles: { europe: { halign: 'center' } }, // European countries centered
body: [
{ europe: 'Sweden', america: 'Canada', asia: 'China' },
{ europe: 'Norway', america: 'Mexico', asia: 'Japan' },
],
columns: [
{ header: 'Europe', dataKey: 'europe' },
{ header: 'Asia', dataKey: 'asia' },
],
})useCss: boolean = falsestartY: number = nullWhere the table should start to be printed (basically a margin top value only for the first page)margin: Margin = 40pageBreak: 'auto'|'avoid'|'always'If set toavoidthe plugin will only split a table onto multiple pages if table height is larger than page height.rowPageBreak: 'auto'|'avoid' = 'auto'If set toavoidthe plugin will only split a row onto multiple pages if row height is larger than page height.tableWidth: 'auto'|'wrap'|number = 'auto'showHead: 'everyPage'|'firstPage'|'never' = 'everyPage''showFoot: 'everyPage'|'lastPage'|'never' = 'everyPage''tableLineWidth: number = 0tableLineColor: Color = 200The table line/border colorhorizontalPageBreak: boolean = falseTo split/break the table into multiple pages if the given table width exceeds the page widthhorizontalPageBreakRepeat: string|number|string[]|number[]To repeat the given column in the split pages, works whenhorizontalPageBreak = true.

Margin:
Either a number or object {top: number, right: number, bottom: number, left: number}
You can customize the content and styling of the table by using the hooks. See the custom styles example for usage of the hooks.
didParseCell: (HookData) => {}- Called when the plugin finished parsing cell content. Can be used to override content or styles for a specific cell.willDrawCell: (HookData) => {}- Called before a cell or row is drawn. Can be used to call native jspdf styling functions such asdoc.setTextColoror change position of text etc before it is drawn.didDrawCell: (HookData) => {}- Called after a cell has been added to the page. Can be used to draw additional cell content such as images withdoc.addImage, additional text withdoc.addTextor other jspdf shapes.willDrawPage: (HookData) => {}- Called before starting to draw on a page. Can be used to add headers or any other content that you want on each page there is an autotable.didDrawPage: (HookData) => {}- Called after the plugin has finished drawing everything on a page. Can be used to add footers with page numbers or any other content that you want on each page there is an autotable.
All hooks functions get passed an HookData object with information about the state of the table and cell. For example the position on the page, which page it is on etc.
HookData:
table: TablepageNumber: numberThe page number specific to this tablesettings: objectParsed user supplied optionsdocThe jsPDF document instance of this tablecursor: { x: number, y: number }To draw each table this plugin keeps a cursor state where the next cell/row should be drawn. You can assign new values to this cursor to dynamically change how the cells and rows are drawn.
For cell hooks these properties are also passed:
cell: Cellrow: Rowcolumn: Columnsection: 'head'|'body'|'foot'
To see what is included in the Table, Row, Column and Cell types, either log them to the console or take a look at src/models.ts
// Example with an image drawn in each cell in the first column
autoTable(doc, {
didDrawCell: (data) => {
if (data.section === 'body' && data.column.index === 0) {
var base64Img = 'data:image/jpeg;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANS...'
doc.addImage(base64Img, 'JPEG', data.cell.x + 2, data.cell.y + 2, 10, 10)
}
},
})doc.autoTable({ /* options */ })autoTable(doc, { /* options */ })jsPDF.autoTableSetDefaults({ /* ... */ })Use for setting global defaults which will be applied for all tables
If you want to know something about the last table that was drawn you can use doc.lastAutoTable. It has a doc.lastAutoTable.finalY property among other things that has the value of the last printed y coordinate on a page. This can be used to draw text, multiple tables or other content after a table.
In addition to the exported autoTable(doc, options) method you can also use applyPlugin to add the autoTable api to any jsPDF instance.
import jsPDF from 'jspdf/dist/jspdf.node.debug'
import { applyPlugin } from 'jspdf-autotable'
applyPlugin(jsPDF)
