Usage

POST the component name to render and its state to /vuepdf:

import axios from 'axios'
// We could have used URL.createObjectURL manually, but
// this library takes care of IE/Safari edge cases as well.
import fileDownload from 'js-file-download'

const res = await axios({
    method: 'POST',
    url: '/vuepdf',
    responseType: 'blob',
    data: {
        component: 'orders',
        state
    }
})

fileDownload(res.data, 'mypdf.pdf', 'application/pdf')

Development

# Set `dev` to true, which autoreloads components on every request.
vim .pdfrc
# Fill state.json with the results of JSON.stringify(data).
# This allows you to develop with static state and GET requests.
cp state.json.example state.json
nodemon src/service.js

During development, open /vuepdf-dev in a Chrom(e/ium) browser and use the Livereload extension to watch the rendered PDF in the browser while you update your component & styling.
