@repdf/core

Build PDFs as React components. This package has the components and rendering functions:

• Document, Image, PageBreak components
• render(node) — React tree → complete HTML document
• renderPdf(node, { backend, pdf }) — production PDF generation with pluggable engines:
  • @repdf/core/pdf/puppeteer — local Chrome or a remote browser endpoint (needs puppeteer-core)
  • @repdf/core/pdf/cloudflare — Cloudflare Browser Rendering API
  • @repdf/core/pdf/gotenberg — a Gotenberg instance
• PreviewConfig<typeof Component> — type for the dev-only preview export (page setup + sample data)

For live-preview development install @repdf/preview and run repdf dev. Style templates with Tailwind via @repdf/tailwind-v4 or @repdf/tailwind-v3.

import { renderPdf } from "@repdf/core";
import { puppeteerBackend } from "@repdf/core/pdf/puppeteer";
import InvoicePdf, { preview } from "./pdfs/InvoicePdf";

const pdf = await renderPdf(<InvoicePdf invoiceNumber="INV-0042" />, {
  backend: puppeteerBackend(),
  pdf: preview.pdf,
});
