I am in search of a solution to the problem of generating reports. You need to generate json in various formats (pdf, csv, xls) on the frontend (Angular/Javascript). So far, I have found only pdfMake, jsReport. Maybe someone had experience with this topic, then tell me what tools did you use (paid ones are also suitable) or is this a task only for the backend?

at the front, you can generate text files - it's not difficult, nothing is needed for csv. Any library you like will do here.
But for example, pdf, then this is not so simple on the back. in addition to the data, you should also have a template, with styles, pagination, a header footer, and more. The most working option that is - is to print through chrome.
html-pdf-chrome showed itself best of all from what I tried.
There are plenty of online conversion services if paid ones suit you, but there is no experience with them.
