vue pdf vue jest

To use Vue.js for PDF generation and testing with Jest, you can follow these steps:

1. Install Vue.js: Start by installing Vue.js using the package manager of your choice. For example, you can use npm by running the command npm install vue.

2. Install vue-pdf: To generate PDF files in Vue.js, you can use the vue-pdf library. Install it by running the command npm install vue-pdf.

3. Import vue-pdf: In your Vue component where you want to generate the PDF, import the vue-pdf component using the following code:

import { pdf } from 'vue-pdf'

1. Use vue-pdf component: To use the vue-pdf component, add it to your template section in your Vue component. You can pass the PDF file path or the PDF file content as a prop to the vue-pdf component. Here's an example:

<template>
  <div>
    <pdf :src="pdfPath" />
  </div>
</template>

<script>
export default {
  data() {
    return {
      pdfPath: '/path/to/pdf/file.pdf'
    }
  }
}
</script>

1. Install Jest: To use Jest for testing, install Jest by running the command npm install jest.

2. Configure Jest: Create a jest.config.js file in the root of your project and configure Jest to work with Vue.js. Here's an example configuration:

module.exports = {
  moduleFileExtensions: ['js', 'vue'],
  transform: {
    '^.+\\.vue$': 'vue-jest',
    '^.+\\.js$': 'babel-jest'
  },
  moduleNameMapper: {
    '^@/(.*)$': '<rootDir>/src/$1'
  },
  testPathIgnorePatterns: ['<rootDir>/node_modules/'],
  snapshotSerializers: ['jest-serializer-vue']
}

1. Write Jest tests: Create test files with .spec.js or .test.js extension and write your Jest tests in them. Import the Vue components you want to test and use Jest's testing functions to write your tests.

That's it! You can now generate PDF files using vue-pdf in your Vue.js application and write tests using Jest. Remember to run your Jest tests using the command npm test.
