You can obtain the trial key by signing-up on our developer portal.
Before you begin, make sure your development environment includes Node.js.
This sample requires Node version 20. To check your version, run node -v
in a terminal/console window.
In order to set the license key, you will need to set the string in the WebViewer sample. One such way is by passing it into the constructor of the WebViewer: https://docs.apryse.com/documentation/web/faq/add-license/#passing-into-constructor
Follow the steps below to set the license key in this sample:
- Locate the app.component.ts file at /src/app.js
- Replace "your_license_key" with your license
- Save the file
git clone https://github.com/ApryseSDK/webviewer-react-sample.git
cd webviewer-react-sample
npm install
npm start
After the app starts, you will be able to see WebViewer running on localhost:3000
.
Run npm run build
to build the project. The build artifacts will be stored in the build/
directory. See the section about deployment for more information.
To test the build directory locally you can use serve or http-server. In case of serve, by default it strips the .html extension stripped from paths. We added serve.json configuration to disable cleanUrls option.
You can deploy your app to GitHub Pages. To do so, make sure to update paths accordingly, for example, to deploy on pdftron.github.io/webviewer-react-sample
, modify the path
:
WebViewer(
{
path: '/webviewer-react-sample/webviewer/lib',
initialDoc: '/webviewer-react-sample/files/PDFTRON_about.pdf',
},
viewer.current,
).then((instance) => {
