Walkthrough

The changes refine the PDF generation process in the invoice utility. The exportToPDF function now reformats the paymentCurrencies parameter type for clarity and implements a hidden container to render the invoice content off-screen. Additionally, the PDF generation logic is enclosed in a try block to ensure the hidden container is always removed from the document body, regardless of success or failure.

Changes

File(s) Change Summary
shared/.../generateInvoice.ts Reformatted the type definition for the paymentCurrencies parameter; introduced a hidden container off-screen for rendering PDF content; wrapped PDF generation in a try block to ensure container cleanup.

There are 3 ways to chat with CodeRabbit:

  • Review comments: Directly reply to a review comment made by CodeRabbit. Example:
    • I pushed a fix in commit <commit_id>, please review it.
    • Generate unit testing code for this file.
    • Open a follow-up GitHub issue for this discussion.
  • Files and specific lines of code (under the "Files changed" tab): Tag @coderabbitai in a new review comment at the desired location with your query. Examples:
    • @coderabbitai generate unit testing code for this file.
    • @coderabbitai modularize this function.
  • PR comments: Tag @coderabbitai in a new PR comment to ask questions about the PR branch. For the best results, please provide a very specific query, as very limited context is provided in this mode. Examples:
    • @coderabbitai gather interesting stats about this repository and render them as a table. Additionally, render a pie chart showing the language distribution in the codebase.
    • @coderabbitai read src/utils.ts and generate unit testing code.
    • @coderabbitai read the files in the src/scheduler package and generate a class diagram using mermaid and a README in the markdown format.
    • @coderabbitai help me debug CodeRabbit configuration file.

Note: Be mindful of the bot's finite context window. It's strongly recommended to break down tasks such as reading entire modules into smaller chunks. For a focused discussion, use review comments to chat about specific files and their changes, instead of using the PR comments.

217-235: Consider enhancing error handling and cleanup.

The try-finally block ensures proper cleanup, but consider these improvements:

  1. Add error handling for PDF generation failures
  2. Clean up any event listeners before removing the container

Apply this diff to enhance error handling:

  try {
    await window
      .html2pdf()
      .from(element)
      .set(opt)
      .save();
+  } catch (error) {
+    console.error('Failed to generate PDF:', error);
+    throw error;
  } finally {
    if (document.body.contains(container)) {
+     // Clean up any potential event listeners
+     const clone = container.cloneNode(true);
+     container.parentNode?.replaceChild(clone, container);
      document.body.removeChild(clone);
    }
  }

205-215: Well-implemented solution to prevent PDF preview flashing!

The hidden container implementation effectively addresses the PR objective by:

  • Moving the container off-screen using fixed positioning
  • Making it invisible with zero height and opacity
  • Preventing any user interaction with pointer-events: none
