fromHTML is not a function when I use jsPDF in vue

<script>
import { jsPDF } from 'jspdf'
...
export default { 
    methods: {
          getPdf() {
               const printDoc = new jsPDF('p', 'in', 'letter')
               console.log('printDoc', printDoc)
               // There is no method fromHTML in what is printed，so when I use printDoc
               // the console reports error: fromHTML is not a function
          },
    },
}
</script>

@kamildudek6 simple to explain: In jsPDF@1.5.3 there were 4 different functions to convert HTML to PDF (fromHTML, addHTML, html2pdf, and html). Each had its own API and feature set. It was quite confusing for developers to decide which function to use. Since html had the most complete feature set and the most promising technological approach, it was chosen as the single HTML function for 2.0.0. The others were already marked as deprecated in 1.5.x. Between 1.5.3 and 2.0.0 developers had almost two years to port their code to html. Since a new major release with other breaking changes was already planned, it was only logical to remove all the old deprecated functions.

Another big point is maintenance and support. This project is currently maintained by a single person (me), and it is just not feasible to maintain 4 different variants of HTML functions, all with their own bugs and missing features. I hardly have the time maintain one of them properly. Please keep in mind this is an open source project, which everyone can use for free.

And, lastly, if you really want to use one of the old HTML functions, no one keeps you from installing 1.5.3 again or even forking the project and merge the old function with the 2.x code.

Also, please refrain from phrases like “junior dev move” if you don’t know the details behind design decisions. That’s not very kind and, IMHO, GitHub is not the right place for that. IMO, conversations on GitHub should remain purely technical and not emotional.

The fromHTML function was replaced by html in 2.0.0. Unfortunately, the typings currently still contain the fromHTML method but a fix is under way.
