how to use jsPDF and jspdf-autotable in angular 5

Question

I am trying to use jsPDF and jspdf-autotable in my Angular 5.2.0 project. My package.json is below (related parts):

\"dependencies\": {
    ...
    \"jspdf\"         


        

Answer 1

I was able to please TypeScript like this:

import * as jsPDF from 'jspdf';
import 'jspdf-autotable';
import { UserOptions } from 'jspdf-autotable';

interface jsPDFWithPlugin extends jsPDF {
  autoTable: (options: UserOptions) => jsPDF;
}
...
const doc = new jsPDF('portrait', 'px', 'a4') as jsPDFWithPlugin;
doc.autoTable({
  head: [['Name', 'Email', 'Country']],
  body: [
    ['David', 'david@example.com', 'Sweden'],
    ['Castille', 'castille@example.com', 'Norway']
  ]
});

Works in Angular 7.
