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

First you have declared .js files in styles property in angular-cli.json, you should add them to scripts. In the configuration that you have, you should add your jspdf scripts to scripts in angular-cli.json, So:

"scripts": [ 
    "../node_modules/jspdf/dist/jspdf.min.js",
    "../node_modules/jspdf-autotable/dist/jspdf.plugin.autotable.js"
  ],

then you don't have to import any jspdf to your component. declare var jsPdf: any will be enough to use it.
