Angular 2 how to display .pdf file

Question

I have an angular2 app, where I want the user to be able to download and open a pdf file in the browser.

Is there an angular2 module or component that I can use?

Answer 1

Have you taken a look at this module https://www.npmjs.com/package/ng2-pdf-viewer?

remember to declare it in the module like so

import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { FormsModule } from '@angular/forms'; 
import { HttpModule } from '@angular/http';

import { PdfViewerComponent } from 'ng2-pdf-viewer'; 
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';

@NgModule({
  declarations: [
    AppComponent,
    PdfViewerComponent
  ],
  imports: [
    BrowserModule,
    FormsModule,
    HttpModule
  ],
  providers: [],
  bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule { }
