Columns
Version 0.3 is under development. Do not use in a production.
Documentation is under development.
By default paragraphs are rendered as a vertical stack of elements (one below another). It is possible however to divide available space into columns.
var docDefinition = {
content: [
'This paragraph fills full width, as there are no columns. Next paragraph however consists of three columns',
{
columns: [
{
// auto-sized columns have their widths based on their content
width: 'auto',
text: 'First column'
},
{
// star-sized columns fill the remaining space
// if there's more than one star-column, available width is divided equally
width: '*',
text: 'Second column'
},
{
// fixed width
width: 100,
text: 'Third column'
},
{
// % width
width: '20%',
text: 'Fourth column'
}
],
// optional space between columns
columnGap: 10
},
'This paragraph goes below all columns and has full width'
]
};
Column content is not limited to a simple text. It can actually contain any valid pdfmake element. Make sure to look at the COLUMNS example in playground.
