[Angular 2] How to use this packages in Angular2 With Typescript #414

Open NJJ2 opened 6 years ago

NJJ2 commented 6 years ago

Hi,

Basically, I need to save html page into pdf. Currently, I'm using this package in server side with nodejs. but creating in server side and downloading that in client side is too time consuming ( around 1min). now I planing to do it completly client side with Angular 2 with typescript. but when I compile project with ng serve I'm getting forllowing error

ERROR in ./node_modules/html-pdf/lib/pdf.js
Module not found: Error: Can't resolve 'child_process' in '/home/naveen/Project/node_modules/html-pdf/lib'
ERROR in ./node_modules/phantomjs-prebuilt/lib/phantomjs.js
Module not found: Error: Can't resolve 'child_process' in '/home/naveen/Project/ICARUS-REVIEW/node_modules/phantomjs-prebuilt/lib'

Someone please give some suggetstion to get it work in angular 2 projects.

AFAIK that is not possible. This uses PhantomJS which is a native headless WebKit binary.
