Node.js PDF tutorial with pdfkit and express

[@jgoebel]

What do you think about this video?
Little correction: at 04:54 I forgot to add the const when I imported pdfkit. I already fixed it in the example code on Github

[@duckisduckcluck2258]

Thanks for the videos you have been uploading till now, its really help me learn backend thing as a frontend. If I may make a request, can you probably post videos about how to create a complete CRUD Rest API with, validation, error handling, basic authentication, etc ( role-permission probably if its not too much ) and also impement the good practice while making it. Probably will take a lot of time, but it doesnt have to be in 1 video ( you can make it a playlist if you want ). these kind of videos are really rare on youtube. Thanks

[@jonasgroendahl]

have you had problems with error "Error: Can't set headers after they are sent to the client" using this approach?

[@jgoebel]

Hi Jonas, this means that you probably did res.send or res.json and then afterwards you tried to do sth. else with res like invoking a method

[@amaressabit]

[@paytonchertude1704]

Sometimes you can get this message if there is an uncaught error in your code somewhere.

[@AST2001]

[@nguyenthanhkha895]

hi, can you guide me how to convert html to pdf?

[@yohanlopes1847]

show demais

[@MasterPloKoon]

Nice tutorial, however with pdfkit it´s a tedious job to create some nicely styled documents. I´d rather have HTML converted to PDF.

[@jgoebel]

I agree that messing with the positions can be somewhat tedious. Yes, converting HTML to pdf would also work. Or making a PDF form in Adobe Pro and then just filling in the placeholders
