Electron：打印引用它的 iframe

Question

我想使用

react-to-print

库从我的 Electron 应用程序打印

iframe

。如何使用

iframe

参考来获取要打印的正确窗口/元素？

const handleElectronPrint = async (target: HTMLIFrameElement) {
  // Instead of this (printing the whole page)
  // let win = BrowserWindow.getFocusedWindow();

  // How do I print just the referenced iframe?
  // `target` iframe has id="printWindow", how to select it?
  let win = BrowserWindow.getMyIframe();
  
  // Is this the right way to do the print once we have the iframe?
  const options = { printBackground: true };
  win.webContents.print(options, (success, failureReason) => {
    if (!success) console.log(failureReason);
  
    console.log('Print Initiated');
  }); 
};

<ReactToPrint
 ...
 print={handleElectronPrint}
/>

您需要将 iframe 对象转换为 Data URL。并将 URL 加载到新的隐藏 BrowserWindow 对象中。
在 Renderer process 中构建数据 URL 并使用 preload 将 URL 发送到主进程。在主进程中执行 BrowserWindow.loadURL 和打印。

App.js

  // Send print request to the Main process
  this.handlePrint = function (target) {
   return new Promise(() => {
    console.log('forwarding print request to the main process...');

    // convert the iframe into data url
    // https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Basics_of_HTTP/Data_URIs
    let data = target.contentWindow.document.documentElement.outerHTML;
    //console.log(data);
    var blob = new Blob([data], { type: 'text/html' });
    var url = URL.createObjectURL(blob);

    window.electronAPI.printComponent(url, (response) => {
     console.log('Main: ', response);
    });
   });
  };

main.js

// List of all options at -
// https://www.electronjs.org/docs/latest/api/web-contents#contentsprintoptions-callback
const printOptions = {
 silent: false,
 printBackground: true,
 color: true,
 margin: {
  marginType: 'printableArea',
 },
 landscape: false,
 pagesPerSheet: 1,
 collate: false,
 copies: 1,
 header: 'Page header',
 footer: 'Page footer',
};

ipcMain.handle('printComponent', (event, url) => {
 let win = new BrowserWindow({ show: false });
 win.loadURL(url);

 win.webContents.on('did-finish-load', () => {
  win.webContents.print(printOptions, (success, failureReason) => {
   console.log('Print Initiated in Main...');
   if (!success) console.log(failureReason);
  });
 });
 return 'done in main';
});

预加载.js

const { contextBridge, ipcRenderer } = require('electron');

contextBridge.exposeInMainWorld('electronAPI', {
 printComponent: async (url, callback) => {
  let response = await ipcRenderer.invoke('printComponent', url);
  callback(response);
 },
});

这里是所有打印选项的列表。页面大小、边距、方向等一些选项可以在 CSS @page 规则中设置，请参阅我的演示应用程序中的 App.css。

这是 GitHub 上的演示应用程序electron-react-to-print-demo。

打印预览：由于这些原因，没有Chrome浏览器风格的内置打印预览功能。我们需要实施我们自己的解决方法。例如打印为 PDF 并在新窗口中显示 pdf：

//handle preview
ipcMain.handle('previewComponent', (event, url) => {
 let win = new BrowserWindow({ title: 'Preview', show: false, autoHideMenuBar: true });

 win.loadURL(url);

 win.webContents.once('did-finish-load', () => {
  win.webContents.printToPDF(printOptions).then((data) => {
    let buf = Buffer.from(data);
    var data = buf.toString('base64');
    let url = 'data:application/pdf;base64,' + data;

    win.webContents.on('ready-to-show', () => {
     win.show();
     win.setTitle('Preview');
    });
    win.webContents.on('closed', () => win = null;);
    win.loadURL(url);

   })
   .catch((error) => {
    console.log(error);
   });
 });
 return 'shown preview window';
});

我在 electron-react-to-print-demo 中添加了上述预览功能。

补充之前的答案：即使在“show: false”时，以编程方式关闭窗口也是个好主意。它会占用资源。 win?.close();
虽然最小化或隐藏，BrowserWindows 仍然消耗一些系统资源，如内存和处理能力。
