Pdf export in React Treegrid component

16 Sep 202311 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 get start quickly with exporting functionalities, you can check on this video:

app.jsx

import { ColumnDirective, ColumnsDirective, Page, TreeGridComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-treegrid';
import { Inject, PdfExport, Toolbar } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-treegrid';
import * as React from 'react';
import { sampleData } from './datasource';
function App() {
    const toolbarOptions = ['PdfExport'];
    const pageSettings = { pageSize: 7 };
    let treegrid;
    const toolbarClick = (args) => {
        if (treegrid && args.item.text === 'PDF Export') {
            treegrid.pdfExport();
        }
    };
    return <TreeGridComponent dataSource={sampleData} treeColumnIndex={1} childMapping='subtasks' allowPaging={true} pageSettings={pageSettings} allowPdfExport={true} height='220' toolbarClick={toolbarClick} ref={g => treegrid = g} toolbar={toolbarOptions}>
        <ColumnsDirective>
            <ColumnDirective field='taskID' headerText='Task ID' width='90' textAlign='Right'/>
            <ColumnDirective field='taskName' headerText='Task Name' width='180'/>
            <ColumnDirective field='startDate' headerText='Start Date' width='90' format='yMd' textAlign='Right' type='date'/>
            <ColumnDirective field='duration' headerText='Duration' width='80' textAlign='Right'/>
        </ColumnsDirective>
        <Inject services={[Page, Toolbar, PdfExport]}/>
    </TreeGridComponent>;
}
;
export default App;

app.tsx

import { ClickEventArgs } from '@syncfusion/ej2-navigations';
import { ColumnDirective, ColumnsDirective, Page, PageSettingsModel, TreeGridComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-treegrid';
import { Inject, PdfExport, Toolbar, ToolbarItems, TreeGrid } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-treegrid';
import * as React from 'react';
import { sampleData } from './datasource';

function App() {
    const toolbarOptions: ToolbarItems[] = ['PdfExport'];
    const pageSettings: PageSettingsModel = { pageSize: 7 };
    let treegrid: TreeGridComponent | null;

    const toolbarClick = (args: ClickEventArgs): void => {
        if (treegrid && args.item.text === 'PDF Export') {
            treegrid.pdfExport();
        }
    }
    return <TreeGridComponent dataSource={sampleData} treeColumnIndex={1} childMapping='subtasks'
    allowPaging={true} pageSettings={pageSettings} allowPdfExport={true} height='220'
    toolbarClick={toolbarClick} ref={g => treegrid = g} toolbar={toolbarOptions}>
        <ColumnsDirective>
            <ColumnDirective field='taskID' headerText='Task ID' width='90' textAlign='Right'/>
            <ColumnDirective field='taskName' headerText='Task Name' width='180'/>
            <ColumnDirective field='startDate' headerText='Start Date' width='90' format='yMd' textAlign='Right' type='date' />
            <ColumnDirective field='duration' headerText='Duration' width='80' textAlign='Right' />
        </ColumnsDirective>
        <Inject services={[Page, Toolbar, PdfExport]}/>
    </TreeGridComponent>
};
export default App;

Custom data source

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

app.jsx

import { ColumnDirective, ColumnsDirective, Page, TreeGridComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-treegrid';
import { Inject, PdfExport, Toolbar } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-treegrid';
import * as React from 'react';
import { sampleData } from './datasource';
function App() {
    const toolbarOptions = ['PdfExport'];
    const pageSettings = { pageSize: 7 };
    let treegrid;
    const toolbarClick = (args) => {
        if (treegrid) {
            const exportProperties = {
                dataSource: sampleData,
            };
            treegrid.pdfExport(exportProperties);
        }
    };
    return <TreeGridComponent dataSource={sampleData} treeColumnIndex={1} childMapping='subtasks' allowPaging={true} pageSettings={pageSettings} allowPdfExport={true} height='220' toolbarClick={toolbarClick} ref={g => treegrid = g} toolbar={toolbarOptions}>
        <ColumnsDirective>
            <ColumnDirective field='taskID' headerText='Task ID' width='90' textAlign='Right'/>
            <ColumnDirective field='taskName' headerText='Task Name' width='180'/>
            <ColumnDirective field='startDate' headerText='Start Date' width='90' format='yMd' textAlign='Right' type='date'/>
            <ColumnDirective field='duration' headerText='Duration' width='80' textAlign='Right'/>
        </ColumnsDirective>
        <Inject services={[Page, Toolbar, PdfExport]}/>
    </TreeGridComponent>;
}
;
export default App;

app.tsx

import { PdfExportProperties } from '@syncfusion/ej2-grids';
import { ClickEventArgs } from '@syncfusion/ej2-navigations';
import { ColumnDirective, ColumnsDirective, Page, PageSettingsModel, TreeGridComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-treegrid';
import { Inject, PdfExport, Toolbar, ToolbarItems, TreeGrid } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-treegrid';
import * as React from 'react';
import { sampleData } from './datasource';

function App() {
    const toolbarOptions: ToolbarItems[] = ['PdfExport'];
    const pageSettings: PageSettingsModel = { pageSize: 7 };
    let treegrid: TreeGridComponent | null;

    const toolbarClick = (args: ClickEventArgs): void => {
        if (treegrid) {
            const exportProperties: PdfExportProperties = {
                 dataSource: sampleData,
            };
            treegrid.pdfExport(exportProperties);
        }
    }
    return <TreeGridComponent dataSource={sampleData} treeColumnIndex={1} childMapping='subtasks'
    allowPaging={true} pageSettings={pageSettings} allowPdfExport={true} height='220'
    toolbarClick={toolbarClick} ref={g => treegrid = g} toolbar={toolbarOptions}>
        <ColumnsDirective>
            <ColumnDirective field='taskID' headerText='Task ID' width='90' textAlign='Right'/>
            <ColumnDirective field='taskName' headerText='Task Name' width='180'/>
            <ColumnDirective field='startDate' headerText='Start Date' width='90' format='yMd' textAlign='Right' type='date' />
            <ColumnDirective field='duration' headerText='Duration' width='80' textAlign='Right' />
        </ColumnsDirective>
        <Inject services={[Page, Toolbar, PdfExport]}/>
    </TreeGridComponent>
};
export default App;
