ember-render-vendor

ember-render-vendor is an Ember+Electron addon that wraps RenderVendor's blazing-fast PDF rendering services with opinionated build tooling for easy integration into Ember apps.

Installation

• ember install ember-render-vendor --save

n.b. we use --save to install e-r-v as a dep, so it will be packaged with your e-electron builds

Usage

This addon's default blueprint should generate a renderers dir at the root of your app, with one subdir (-public).

Any files added to -public will be available for use in all renderer templates.

Valid renderers subdirs do not start with a -, and contain two files:

• template.hbs, a handlebars file that defines your renderer's template (w/ dynamic data provided by data); and
• renderer.js, which is loaded into your Ember app and may be accessed with the rendererFor helper (use it like service injection)

  • import { rendererFor } from 'ember-render-vendor';

Sample files

{{! renderers/invoice/template.hbs }}
<divid="container">
<imgid="logo"src="imgs/logo"/>
<h1>hello {{data.customerName}}</h1>
<h4>you owe {{data.total}}</h4>
</div>
<style>#logo {padding: 10px; }h1 {font-weight: bold; }</style>

// renderers/invoice/renderer.jsimportRendererfrom'ember-render-vendor';exportdefaultRenderer.extend({attrs: [{'customer.name': 'customerName'},'total'],render(){returnthis._super({type: 'pdf',width: '2.25in',height: '1.25in'})}});

// app/routes/invoice.jsimport{rendererFor}from'ember-render-vendor';exportEmber.Route.extend({renderer: rendererFor('invoice'),afterModel(model){this.set('renderer.data',model);},actions: {renderPdf(){this.get('renderer').render().then((buffer)=>console.log(`raw pdf buffer: ${buffer}`));}}});

// ember-electron/main.js// n.b. ideally this will move to an addon-friendly initializer + cleanup story upstream// ...letinitializersDir=join(process.cwd(),'ember-electron','initializers');readdirSync(initializersDir).map((name)=>require(join(initializersDir,name))).forEach((initializer)=>initializer(app));// ...

• write test suite
• chat with Fastboot team about server integration
• consider implementing e-electron build tooling upstream
