Window is not defined at build time with Gatbsy

Hi there,

so the problem that I’m facing is, that the window object is used by this library and that it is not available on build time with a static-site-generator like Gatbsy. Same goes for the main jsPDF library. Added also an issue for it here: https://github.com/MrRio/jsPDF/issues/2697

I got it to work like this for now: https://gist.github.com/henrikwirth/71a214373b00f7e2af0e6a0fe67547db#file-jspdf-utils-js-L3-L4

    const jsPDF = require("jspdf")
    require("jspdf-autotable")

And before I call the class I do something like this:

export const isBrowser = typeof window !== `undefined`

const createPdf = () => {
  if (!isBrowser) return

  const pdf = new PDF("MyPDF", { defaultFontSize: 10, debug: false })
}

Just wondering if it would be possible to do the window check in the library directly so that it is easier to import it. Any thoughts?

Yeah. I think autoTable now supports gatsby SSR as soon as jspdf is updated.

Yup, like I said it is a problem of both libraries. I just tried the build with your example and got this one, which makes sense as I imported both the normal way.

I’ll be happy to test your change. Is it already released over npm?
