in my react application I have an iframe
which is loaded with HTML document and content of it exceeds 1 page. on pressing Ctrl+p
I want to print it in several pages but the print preview only shows one page.
how it should be handled to recognize that the content of iframe
is more than one A4 page?
the DOM in chrome devtool looks like
<div class="article-container">
<iframe style="">#document
/* hundreds of <p> tags */
</iframe>
</div>
the structure in react app is like
<div className="article-container">
<FrameText content={content} status={!this.state.editStatus} />
</div>
and the FrameText
class FrameText extends React.Component<Props> {
iframe: HTMLIFrameElement;
compinentDidMount(){
window.addEventListener('beforeprint',(e)=>{console.log(e);})
}
/* other stuff*/
render() {
const { status } = this.props;
return <iframe ref={(ref) => (this.iframe = ref!)} style={!status ? { display: 'none' } : {}} />;
}
so here when the ctrl+p
is pressed I get the event and the iframe document is in the event. Also, I have the content of iframe in the local state too.
I could not find anywhere that when this event is triggered what can I do with it to manipulate or somehow tell the print preview that the content is long.
Also, the css is
@media print {
.article-container {
background-color: white;
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
position: fixed;
top: 0;
left: 0;
margin: 0;
padding: 15px;
font-size: 14px;
line-height: 18px;
}
}
