Package Exports

@pachun/rn-pdf-reader-js

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (@pachun/rn-pdf-reader-js) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Example

import React from 'react'
import { StyleSheet, View } from 'react-native'
import PDFReader from 'rn-pdf-reader-js'
import Constants from 'expo-constants'

export default class App extends React.Component {
  render() {
    return (
      <View style={styles.container}>
        <PDFReader
          source={{
            uri: 'http://gahp.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/sample.pdf',
          }}
        />
      </View>
    )
  }
}

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
  container: {
    flex: 1,
    paddingTop: Constants.statusBarHeight,
    backgroundColor: '#ecf0f1',
  },
})

Props

source: Object
- uri?: string - can be local or served on the web (ie. start withs https:// or file://)
- base64?: string - should start with data:application/pdf;base64,. A base64 encoded pdf file tends to start with JVBERi0xL so your complete string should look soemthing like this: data:application/pdf;base64,JVBERi0xL...
style: object - style props to override default container style
webviewStyle: object - style props to override default WebView style
onLoad: func - callback that runs after WebView is loaded
noLoader: boolean - show/hide the ActivityIndicator. Default is false

Requirements

Use it into Expo app (from expo client, Standalone app or ExpoKit app).
Because we need to have access to Expo.FileSystem
Only React-Native 0.54+ support, Expo SDK 27

Features

For Android, use react-pdf / pdfjs in the webview
For iOS devices, display file directly to the WebView

What rn-pdf-reader-js use?

react-pdf (pdf.js)

Expo FileSystem API
Base64
