Using react-to-print to generate a printable document

ReactToPrint is a library that enhances the basic printing function of JavaScript by providing more control over what and how content is printed from a React application, preserving the original styles and layout. Unlike the default print function, which lacks customizability and often loses styles, ReactToPrint allows developers to generate printable content that retains styling and layout through a Print dialog. The library supports both class and functional components, and its use can be extended with third-party libraries like html2pdf.js to convert generated HTML into PDFs, enabling users to download documents directly without using the Print dialog. The article illustrates how ReactToPrint can be integrated into a React app, showcasing examples of printing webpage content and downloading PDFs, while highlighting the library's compatibility with additional tools to customize the printing process further.
