Jspdf: Error using jsPDF cell table() method

[tmmsmoreira]

Hello,

First, I want to say, what an amazing framework!
I was testing it to implement in a current project that I am working on and I am having some issues creating tables on the document. Based on your documentation, I am doing everything correctly. Here is a piece of code so you can check the problem that I am having:

JS File

var data = [
  {
    coin: "100",
    game_group: "GameGroup",
    game_name: "XPTO1",
    game_version: "25",
    machine: "20485861",
    vlt: "0"
  },
  {
    coin: "100",
    game_group: "GameGroup",
    game_name: "XPTO2",
    game_version: "25",
    machine: "20485861",
    vlt: "0"
  }
];

var header = ["coin", "game_group", "game_name", "game_version", "machine", "vlt"]

function save() {
  var doc = new jsPDF()
  doc.text(20, 20, 'Hello world!')
  doc.table(1, 1, data, header)
  doc.save()
}

HTML File

<button onclick="save()">Save</button>

The error that I am having is this:

jspdf.min.js:29 Uncaught Error: Invalid arguments passed to jsPDF.rect
    at Object.l.__private__.rect.l.rect (jspdf.min.js:29)
    at Object._.cell (jspdf.min.js:88)
    at Object._.printHeaderRow (jspdf.min.js:88)
    at Object._.table (jspdf.min.js:88)
    at save (pen.js:25)
    at HTMLButtonElement.onclick (index.html?editors=1111:6)

Here is the codepen link so you can check the problem on your console:

Thank you for your attention and support, and keep up the good work!

Try this:
```var data = [
{
coin: "100",
game_group: "GameGroup",
game_name: "XPTO1",
game_version: "25",
machine: "20485861",
vlt: "0"
},
{
coin: "100",
game_group: "GameGroup",
game_name: "XPTO2",
game_version: "25",
machine: "20485861",
vlt: "0"
}
];
var header = createHeaders(["coin", "game_group", "game_name", "game_version", "machine", "vlt"]);

function createHeaders(keys) {
return keys.map(key => ({
'name': key,
'prompt': key,
'width':65,
'align':'center',
'padding':0
}));
}

function save() {
var doc = new jsPDF()
doc.text(20, 20, 'Hello world!')
doc.table(1, 1, data, header)
doc.save()
}

```

Try this:

  {
    coin: "100",
    game_group: "GameGroup",
    game_name: "XPTO1",
    game_version: "25",
    machine: "20485861",
    vlt: "0"
  },
  {
    coin: "100",
    game_group: "GameGroup",
    game_name: "XPTO2",
    game_version: "25",
    machine: "20485861",
    vlt: "0"
  }
];
var header = createHeaders(["coin", "game_group", "game_name", "game_version", "machine", "vlt"]);

function createHeaders(keys) {
    return keys.map(key => ({
      'name': key,
      'prompt': key,
      'width':65,
      'align':'center',
      'padding':0
    }));
}

function save() {
  var doc = new jsPDF()
  doc.text(20, 20, 'Hello world!')
  doc.table(1, 1, data, header)
  doc.save()
}

Now it's working. Documentation is not very explicit about this point. Thank you so much @viraj4422

I did not refactor cell.js till now. Try autoTable plugin as an alternative ;)

[viraj4422]

@arasabbasi There is also an issue regarding table header overlapping page header on page 2 onwards.

Page 2:

Is this a known bug ? Would you recommend going with auto-table ?

[lexcode]

@viraj4422 I am having same issue of table line overlapping on second page, have you found a solution, would you mind share it if you did, please?

Thanks

Maybe you should use autotable plugin by @simonbengtsson

It is much more into table representation than jsPDF will be.

@viraj4422
@lexcode
Yes, it was an annoying bug. Refactored cell.js #2412

Will be fixed in next release.

This remains broken, and also the doc for the table() method suggests headers should be an array of strings, but the examples show an array of objects,

@stevematdavies this should have been fixed in #3087, but is not yet released on npm.
