To use html2pdf in an Angular application, you need to follow these steps:

1. Install html2pdf package using npm. Run the following command in your terminal:

1

npm install html2pdf --save

1. After installing the package, import it in your component or module where you want to use it. For example, in your component, you can import it as follows:

1

import * as html2pdf from 'html2pdf.js';

1. Use html2pdf to convert your HTML content to a PDF document. Here is an example:

const element = document.getElementById('element-to-export');
const options = {
  margin: [0, 0],
  filename: 'myfile.pdf',
  image: { type: 'jpeg', quality: 0.98 },
  html2canvas: { scale: 2 },
  jsPDF: { unit: 'in', format: 'letter', orientation: 'portrait' }
};

html2pdf().set(options).from(element).save();

In the above example, we are selecting an HTML element with the ID 'element-to-export' and converting it to a PDF document with the specified options.

Note: You may need to import the required packages and configure them in your Angular application as well, depending on the options you use.

Additionally, here are a few more steps that you can follow to integrate html2pdf with Angular:

When importing html2pdf in your component, ensure you inform Angular about the external library. You can achieve this by declaring html2pdf as an external library in the angular.json file.

Modify the angular.json file and add the following section:

1

3

"scripts": [
  "node_modules/html2pdf.js/dist/html2pdf.bundle.min.js"
]

This informs Angular about the location of the html2pdf library. Ensure the path provided matches the actual path of the library in your project.

After declaring the library in the angular.json file, you can now import html2pdf in your component as mentioned in the previous step.

Once you've imported html2pdf, you can utilize it to convert HTML content to PDF as needed in your Angular application.

Remember to test the functionality thoroughly to ensure that the conversion works as expected and that the PDF output meets your requirements.
