Passing parameters to Svelte function

In Svelte we can define functions that are going to be called when an event is triggered. For example, to call holaMundo on the click of an element we can indicate it as on:click={holaMundo}

Sometimes it is necessary to pass parameters to that function inside a Svelte component, but we cannot indicate it like this:

on:click={holaMundo(parameter)}

Since that will execute the function as soon as the component is loaded, and won’t wait for the click.

In this post I will show you how to pass arguments to functions in Svelte without calling them automatically.

Silent PDF Print with JavaScript and plugin

Today I am going to present you a plugin that I have just created. It is a plugin to print a PDF file silently, that is, without asking the user for confirmation.

This plugin exposes a REST API so that a PDF can be printed without confirmation using JavaScript. Just make an HTTP GET request to the plugin path sending the name of the PDF and the name of the printer.

The best thing about this is that you can use the virtual printers that Windows offers, in this way you can do your tests in an ecological way.

Throughout this post I will show you the documentation of the plugin and all the details of it, including how you can get it.

We will just add a kind of middleware to modify all the responses and add the headers that allow CORS in Flask.
