</html>Providing pdfmake as an npm module, which can be required.
Removing boilerplate code, that is required when one uses pdfmake with frameworks line AngularJS.
A small AngularJS example is provided in the test directory.
The commands below will build the module bundle and open a browser. The page provides buttons to check open and download capabilities manually.
npm install
npm start
During your production builds, including this module, you want to exclude this module from minification/uglification/compression, as it is already minified. The same is true for custom fonts. Both are pretty big and will slow minification/uglification/compression down.
pdfmake-browserified can be used like the original pdfmake via script-tag in an HTML page. With the same method signature: createPdf(docDefinition, fonts, vfs).open();
But: It can be used via require('pdfmake-browserify') in Node applications, too. In Node, the method signature stays the same: createPdf(docDefinition, fonts, vfs).open();

I did this for fun. Contributions from people with a more solid node background are welcome!
