# react-native-html-to-pdf

Convert html strings to PDF documents using React Native

## Installation

1. Run `npm install react-native-html-to-pdf --save`

### Option 1: Automatic

2. Run `react-native link`

### Option 2: Manual

#### iOS

2. Open your project in XCode, right click on [Libraries](http://url.brentvatne.ca/jQp8) and select [Add Files to "Your Project Name](http://url.brentvatne.ca/1gqUD).
3. Add `libRNHTMLtoPDF.a` to `Build Phases -> Link Binary With Libraries`
[(Screenshot)](http://url.brentvatne.ca/17Xfe).

#### Android
- Edit `android/settings.gradle` to included

```java
include ':react-native-html-to-pdf'
project(':react-native-html-to-pdf').projectDir = new File(rootProject.projectDir,'../node_modules/react-native-html-to-pdf/android')
```

- Edit `android/app/build.gradle` file to include

```java
dependencies {
....
compile project(':react-native-html-to-pdf')

}
```

- Edit `MainApplication.java` to include

```java
// import the package
import com.christopherdro.htmltopdf.RNHTMLtoPDFPackage;

// include package

Also starting from Android M, users need to be prompted for permission dynamically. Follow [this](https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/permissionsandroid) link for more details on how to do that.
