@broadpaper/renderer

DOM rendering, measurement and page composition for BroadPaper reports.

Part of BroadPaper — an embeddable visual report designer and PDF renderer. Your users design the report in your application; BroadPaper owns the layout, the branding, the pagination and the output.

Install

npm install @broadpaper/renderer

Turns a resolved document into pages in a browser: rendering virtual nodes to the DOM, measuring them, and composing the result into paginated output. layoutDocument and layoutDocumentAsync are the entry points, and createReportViewer is the read-only viewer for showing a finished report without the designer around it.

BroadPaper owns pagination — not the browser, and not the PDF engine. Sections are measured as continuous galleys and a pure paginator decides the breaks, so the same document breaks in the same places wherever it is drawn.

Licensing

BroadPaper is free to evaluate, with no trial clock and nothing behind a feature gate. Install it, use every feature and evaluate it against your real data for as long as you like. Production use needs a licence.

In the software, the only difference without a licence is that generated PDFs carry an evaluation mark. A free 60-day evaluation key removes it while you evaluate, and a paid licence removes it in production. Contractually, the paid licence is also what permits production use. Evaluation keys need BroadPaper 1.0.0 or later. No seats, no activation, no machine binding, no telemetry, and no call home at any point.
