# react-native-print

Print documents using React Native.

## Installation

Run `npm install react-native-print --save`

## Add it to your project

### Automatic

Run `react-native link`

### Manual

#### iOS
1. 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).
2. Choose the file `node_modules/react-native-print/RNPrint.xcodeproj`
3. Go to `Project Manager` tab and click on your project's name. Select the name of the target and click on `Build Phases`
4. Add `libRNPrint.a` to `Link Binary With Libraries`
[(Screenshot)](http://url.brentvatne.ca/17Xfe).

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

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

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

```java
dependencies {
....
compile project(':react-native-print')

}
```

- Edit `MainApplication.java` to include

```java
// import the package
import com.christopherdro.RNPrint.RNPrintPackage;

// include package
new MainReactPackage(),
new RNPrintPackage(),
```

#### Windows

1. In `windows/myapp.sln` add the `RNPrint` project to your solution:

- Open the solution in Visual Studio 2019
- Right-click Solution icon in Solution Explorer > Add > Existing Project
- Select `node_modules\react-native-print\windows\RNPrint\RNPrint.vcxproj`

2. In `windows/myapp/myapp.vcxproj` ad a reference to `RNPrint` to your main application project. From Visual Studio 2019:

- Right-click main application project > Add > Reference...
- Check `RNPrint` from Solution Projects.

3. In `pch.h` add `#include "winrt/RNPrint.h"`.

4. In `app.cpp` add `PackageProviders().Append(winrt::RNPrint::ReactPackageProvider());` before `InitializeComponent();`.

### Windows print canvas

On Windows, `react-native-print` needs an element in the visual tree to add the printable pages to.
It will look for a XAML `Canvas` named `RNPrintCanvas` and use it.
This needs to be added to the XAML tree of the screens where `react-native-print` is used.

As an example, in `windows/myapp/MainPage.xaml` from the `react-native-windows` app template this can be done by adding a XAML `Grid` with an invisible `Canvas` alongside the `ReactRootView`. Change `windows/myapp/MainPage.xaml` from:
```xaml

```
to
```xaml




```

## Usage
```javascript
/**
* Sample React Native App
* https://github.com/facebook/react-native
* @flow
*/

import React, { Component } from 'react';
import {
AppRegistry,
Button,
StyleSheet,
NativeModules,
Platform,
Text,
View
} from 'react-native';

import RNHTMLtoPDF from 'react-native-html-to-pdf';
import RNPrint from 'react-native-print';

export default class RNPrintExample extends Component {
state = {
selectedPrinter: null
}

// @NOTE iOS Only
selectPrinter = async () => {
const selectedPrinter = await RNPrint.selectPrinter({ x: 100, y: 100 })
this.setState({ selectedPrinter })
}

// @NOTE iOS Only
silentPrint = async () => {
if (!this.state.selectedPrinter) {
alert('Must Select Printer First')
}

const jobName = await RNPrint.print({
printerURL: this.state.selectedPrinter.url,
html: '

Silent Print

'
})

}

async printHTML() {
await RNPrint.print({
html: '

Heading 1

Heading 2

Heading 3

'
})
}

async printPDF() {
const results = await RNHTMLtoPDF.convert({
html: '

Custom converted PDF Document

',
fileName: 'test',
base64: true,
})

await RNPrint.print({ filePath: results.filePath })
}

async printRemotePDF() {
await RNPrint.print({ filePath: 'https://graduateland.com/api/v2/users/jesper/cv' })
}

customOptions = () => {
return (

{this.state.selectedPrinter &&

{`Selected Printer Name: ${this.state.selectedPrinter.name}`}
{`Selected Printer URI: ${this.state.selectedPrinter.url}`}

}


)
}

render() {
return (

{Platform.OS === 'ios' && this.customOptions()}




);
}
}

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
container: {
flex: 1,
