# @json-render/react-pdf
PDF document renderer. Turn JSON specs into PDFs using `@react-pdf/renderer`.
## Install
```bash
npm install @json-render/core @json-render/react-pdf
```
See the [React PDF example](https://github.com/vercel-labs/json-render/tree/main/examples/react-pdf) for a full working example.
## schema
The PDF element schema for document specs. Use with `defineCatalog` from core.
```typescript
import { defineCatalog } from '@json-render/core';
import { schema, standardComponentDefinitions } from '@json-render/react-pdf';
const catalog = defineCatalog(schema, {
components: standardComponentDefinitions,
});
```
## Render Functions
Server-side functions for producing PDF output. All accept a spec and optional `RenderOptions`.
```typescript
import { renderToBuffer, renderToStream, renderToFile } from '@json-render/react-pdf';
const buffer = await renderToBuffer(spec);
const stream = await renderToStream(spec);
stream.pipe(res);
await renderToFile(spec, './output.pdf');
```
### RenderOptions
```typescript
interface RenderOptions {
registry?: ComponentRegistry;
includeStandard?: boolean; // default: true
state?: Record<string, unknown>;
}
```
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Option</th>
<th>Description</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td><code>registry</code></td>
<td>Custom component map (merged with standard components)</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><code>includeStandard</code></td>
<td>Include built-in standard components (default: <code>true</code>)</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><code>state</code></td>
<td>Initial state for <code>$state</code> / <code>$cond</code> dynamic prop resolution</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
## defineRegistry
Create a type-safe component registry from a catalog. Components receive `{ props, children, emit, bindings, loading }`.
```tsx
import { defineRegistry } from '@json-render/react-pdf';
import { View, Text } from '@react-pdf/renderer';
const { registry } = defineRegistry(catalog, {
components: {
Badge: ({ props }) => (
<View style={{ backgroundColor: props.color ?? '#e5e7eb', padding: 4, borderRadius: 4 }}>
<Text style={{ fontSize: 10 }}>{props.label}</Text>
</View>
),
},
});
const buffer = await renderToBuffer(spec, { registry });
```
## createRenderer
Create a standalone renderer component wired to state, actions, and validation.
```typescript
import { createRenderer } from '@json-render/react-pdf';
const PDFRenderer = createRenderer(catalog, components);
```
```typescript
interface CreateRendererProps {
spec: Spec | null;
state?: Record<string, unknown>;
onAction?: (actionName: string, params?: Record<string, unknown>) => void;
onStateChange?: (path: string, value: unknown) => void;
loading?: boolean;
fallback?: ComponentRenderer;
}
```
## Renderer
The main component that renders a spec to `@react-pdf/renderer` elements.
```typescript
interface RendererProps {
spec: Spec | null;
registry?: ComponentRegistry;
includeStandard?: boolean; // default: true
loading?: boolean;
fallback?: ComponentRenderer;
}
```

```typescript
import { schema, standardComponentDefinitions } from '@json-render/react-pdf/server';
```
