Pdf export in EJ2 TypeScript Treegrid control

27 Apr 202320 minutes to read

PDF export allows exporting TreeGrid data to PDF document. You need to use the
pdfExport method for exporting. To enable PDF export in the treegrid, set the allowPdfExport as true.

To use PDF export, inject the PdfExport module in treegrid.

index.ts
index.html
import { TreeGrid, Page, Toolbar, PdfExport } from '@syncfusion/ej2-treegrid';
import { sampleData } from './datasource.ts';

TreeGrid.Inject(Page, Toolbar, PdfExport);

let treeGridObj: TreeGrid = new TreeGrid({
    dataSource: sampleData,
    childMapping: 'subtasks',
    allowPdfExport: true,
    allowPaging: true,
    height: 220,
    pageSettings: {pageSize: 7},
    toolbar: ['PdfExport'],
    treeColumnIndex: 1,
    columns: [
            { field: 'taskID', headerText: 'Task ID', width: 90, textAlign: 'Right' },
            { field: 'taskName', headerText: 'Task Name', width: 180, textAlign: 'Left' },
            {
                field: 'startDate', headerText: 'Start Date', width: 90, textAlign: 'Right', type: 'date', format: 'yMd'
            },
            { field: 'duration', headerText: 'Duration', width: 80, textAlign: 'Right' }
    ]
});

treeGridObj.appendTo('#TreeGrid');
treeGridObj.toolbarClick = (args: Object) => {
if (args['item'].text === 'PDF Export') {
        treeGridObj.pdfExport();
    }

}

Custom data source

PDF export provides an option to define datasource dynamically before exporting. To export data dynamically, define the dataSource in exportProperties

index.ts
index.html
import { TreeGrid, Page, Toolbar, PdfExport, PdfExportProperties } from '@syncfusion/ej2-treegrid';
import { sampleData } from './datasource.ts';

TreeGrid.Inject(Page, Toolbar, PdfExport);

let treeGridObj: TreeGrid = new TreeGrid({
    dataSource: sampleData,
    childMapping: 'subtasks',
    allowPdfExport: true,
    allowPaging: true,
    height: 220,
    pageSettings: {pageSize: 7},
    toolbar: ['PdfExport'],
    treeColumnIndex: 1,
    columns: [
            { field: 'taskID', headerText: 'Task ID', width: 90, textAlign: 'Right' },
            { field: 'taskName', headerText: 'Task Name', width: 180, textAlign: 'Left' },
            {
                field: 'startDate', headerText: 'Start Date', width: 90, textAlign: 'Right', type: 'date', format: 'yMd'
            },
            { field: 'duration', headerText: 'Duration', width: 80, textAlign: 'Right' }
    ]
});

treeGridObj.appendTo('#TreeGrid');
treeGridObj.toolbarClick = (args: Object) => {
if (args['item'].text === 'PDF Export') {
        let exportProperties: PdfExportProperties = {
            dataSource: sampleData,
        };
        treeGridObj.pdfExport(exportProperties);
    }
}
