.can you please provide a sample json response data hereTo export PDF from a JSON response using jQuery, you can utilize the jsPDF library along with the FileSaver.js library. Here's an example of how you can achieve this:
1. Include the necessary CDN links in your HTML file:
HTML:<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title>Export PDF from JSON response</title> <!-- Include jQuery library --> <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.6.0/jquery.min.js"></script> <!-- Include jsPDF library --> <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jspdf/2.5.3/jspdf.umd.min.js"></script> <!-- Include FileSaver.js library --> <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/FileSaver.js/2.0.5/FileSaver.min.js"></script> </head> <body> <!-- Your HTML content here --> <button id="exportBtn">Export PDF</button> <script src="script.js"></script> </body> </html>
2. Create a separate JavaScript file (e.g.,script.js
) and add the following code:
JavaScript:$(document).ready(function() { // Handle export button click $('#exportBtn').on('click', function() { $.ajax({ url: 'your-json-api-url', type: 'GET', dataType: 'json', success: function(response) { // Create new jsPDF instance const doc = new jsPDF(); // Iterate over the JSON response data response.forEach(function(item, index) { // Define the position of the text const xPos = 10; const yPos = (index + 1) * 10; // Add text to the PDF document doc.text(xPos, yPos, item); // You can add more data from the JSON response as needed }); // Save the PDF file doc.save('exported_pdf.pdf'); }, error: function(xhr, status, error) { console.error(error); } }); }); });
Make sure to replace'your-json-api-url'
in the JavaScript code with the actual URL of your JSON API.
When the export button is clicked, an AJAX request is made to the JSON API. Upon successful response, the JSON data is iterated, and each item is added as text to the PDF document using jsPDF. Finally, the PDF file is saved with the name'exported_pdf.pdf'
.
Note: Since this involves AJAX requests, make sure your JSON API allows cross-origin requests or is hosted on the same domain as your HTML file to avoid CORS issues.
Certainly! Here's a sample JSON response data that you can use for testing:can you please provide a sample json response data here
[
{
"id": 1,
"name": "John Doe",
"email": "johndoe@example.com"
},
{
"id": 2,
"name": "Jane Smith",
"email": "janesmith@example.com"
},
{
"id": 3,
"name": "Sam Johnson",
"email": "samjohnson@example.com"
}
]
id
, name
, and email
. You can modify this sample data or use your own JSON response according to your specific requirements.jsPDF is not defined on this code const doc = new jsPDF();Certainly! Here's a sample JSON response data that you can use for testing:
JSON:[ { "id": 1, "name": "John Doe", "email": "johndoe@example.com" }, { "id": 2, "name": "Jane Smith", "email": "janesmith@example.com" }, { "id": 3, "name": "Sam Johnson", "email": "samjohnson@example.com" } ]
In this example, the JSON response contains an array of objects. Each object represents a user with properties likeid
,name
, and
Apologies for the confusion. It seems that the jsPDF library is not being recognized in the code snippet provided. To properly include jsPDF, you can update the CDN link to the latest version and make sure it is placed before your script tag. Here's an updated code snippet:jsPDF is not defined on this code const doc = new jsPDF();
