Prints Dynamics 365 forms as pdf's.

Converts forms to .pdf report using jsPDF, including form's:

• visible attributes that contain data
• subgrids (rendered as nested forms)
• embedded web resources that display text

Installing

For the latest stable version, copy from /dist/prince.min.js or npm i prince-xrm.

Usage

1. Import Prince

import Prince from "prince-xrm"

2. Create a config object extending IPrinceConfig

export default interface IPrinceConfig {
    entityName: string;
    entityId: string;
    forms?: Array<{
        formId: string;
        entityName: string;
    }>;
    webResources?: Array<{
        name: string;
        attribute: string;
    }>;
}

Print form

Prince.printForm(config: IPrinceConfig | string)

Store form state so it can be printed later

Prince.storeForm(primaryControl: Xrm.FormContext | Xrm.Page.EventContext attribute: string, config?: IPrinceConfig | string, form?: Form)

• primaryControl execution context from form or ribbon event.
• config configuration needed to get @param form.
• attribute schema name of attribute to store the form in.
• form form to store. If not given, it is retrieved.

Print a stored form

Prince.printStoredForm(primaryControl: Xrm.FormContext | Xrm.Page.EventContext, attribute: string)

• primaryControl execution context from form or ribbon event.
• attribute schema name of the attribute where the form string is stored.

Examples

Creating a config

const config = {
    entityId: "BB42C9F1-AE20-E911-A974-0022480186C3",
    entityName: "new_parent",
    forms: [
        {
            entityName: "new_parent",
            formId: "592e38a0-d028-493f-b916-d89a87a6d1b2",
        },
        {
            entityName: "new_child",
            formId: "37A83C9B-76D1-46A0-976C-9AA6168AA279",
        },
    ],
    webResources: [
        {
            attribute: "new_simpletext",
            name: "WebResource_SimpleText",
        },
    ],
};

Storing a form and printing it

import Prince from "prince-xrm";
Prince.storeForm(executionContext, "new_formstorage");
Prince.printStoredForm(executionContext, "new_formstorage");

There's no need to store a form and immediately print it, as this can be done in one line using Prince.printForm. However you may want to store and print a form in separate functions, so that the state of a form can be stored at one moment in time and printed at a later date.

Printing a form

import Prince from "prince-xrm";
Prince.printForm(config);

Backlog

• Support subgrids shown with view columns
• Support multiple columns layout on forms
• Increase customisability through input config IPrinceConfig
