Browser-side file preview for React 18/19. Use one component API for loading, search, zoom, page navigation, print and export where supported by the selected format. This is the lightweight package: add renderer presets for PDF, Office and other document formats.

Create an application with renderers and local assets configured:
npx file-viewer-cli@latest create my-viewer --framework react --profile standardFor an existing project, use npx file-viewer-cli@latest add ., or follow the manual integration guide. The component alone does not install document engines or deploy their Worker/WASM files.
The examples below require the matching renderer preset and self-hosted assets. The CLI configures these for you; a bare component install is not a PDF or Office viewer.
npm install @file-viewer/react @file-viewer/preset-standard file-viewer-copy-assets
npx --no-install file-viewer-copy-assets ./public/file-viewerimport FileViewer from '@file-viewer/react'
import standardRenderers from '@file-viewer/preset-standard'
export function Preview() {
return (
<div style={{ height: '100vh' }}>
<FileViewer
url="/example/demo.docx"
options={{
preset: standardRenderers,
theme: 'light',
toolbar: { position: 'bottom-right' }
}}
/>
</div>
)
}The historical package @flyfish-group/file-viewer-react remains supported for compatibility. New integrations should prefer the self-contained standard package @file-viewer/react.
@file-viewer/react shares the same core contract and renderer/preset assembly model with the other standard component packages; full capability can be assembled with on-demand renderers or @file-viewer/preset-all, including PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OFD, CAD/DWG/DXF/DWF, EPUB/UMD, archives, email, Markdown, highlighted code, images, audio, video, 3D models, geospatial files, and structured data assets. See the complete format matrix and option reference at https://doc.file-viewer.app/guide/formats
Every standard component package shares @file-viewer/core as the only common foundation, and no framework component package depends on another framework implementation. Core owns format metadata, source loading, the renderer protocol, events, operation APIs, search, zoom, print, export, and the framework-neutral browser shell. Heavy PDF, Word, PPT/PPTX, CAD, Typst, and similar pipelines are assembled explicitly through renderer packages or presets; each framework package owns its component lifecycle, type exports, compatibility defaults, and ecosystem-specific interaction layer.

The quickstart flow is: get the component running first, then make the format boundary explicit. Install the component package for the current ecosystem, then choose @file-viewer/preset-lite, @file-viewer/preset-office, @file-viewer/preset-engineering, or @file-viewer/preset-all. For Webpack, Rspack, Rollup, Umi, classic multi-page apps, and other non-Vite stacks, pass capability explicitly through options.preset or options.renderers. The Vite plugin is an optional convenience layer that removes manual imports and copies offline assets.
npm i @file-viewer/react @file-viewer/preset-officeimport officePreset from '@file-viewer/preset-office'
const options = {
preset: officePreset,
rendererMode: 'replace'
}When a product combines Office documents with engineering drawings, keep the same preset field and pass an array:
import officePreset from '@file-viewer/preset-office'
import engineeringPreset from '@file-viewer/preset-engineering'
const options = {
preset: [officePreset, engineeringPreset],
rendererMode: 'replace'
}For exact small cuts, install one renderer and pass it through options.renderers:
import { pdfRenderer } from '@file-viewer/renderer-pdf'
const options = {
renderers: [pdfRenderer],
rendererMode: 'replace'
}Vite projects can add the plugin. It auto-discovers installed presets, injects the virtual module, and copies matching Worker / WASM / font / vendor assets:
npm i -D @file-viewer/vite-pluginimport { fileViewerRenderers } from '@file-viewer/vite-plugin'
export default {
plugins: [
fileViewerRenderers({
copyAssets: true
// No preset option required: the plugin discovers installed @file-viewer/preset-office.
})
]
}Heavy users that want the complete official demo capability can switch to the full preset. Non-Vite projects keep options.preset; the Vite config stays the same:
npm i @file-viewer/react @file-viewer/preset-allUse explicit plugin options only when you need customization:
fileViewerRenderers({
preset: 'auto', // keep installed preset auto-discovery while scanning source hints
scan: true, // detects fileViewerFormats, data-file-viewer-formats, and accept
formats: ['pdf'], // adds exact renderers outside the installed preset
copyAssets: true,
chunkStrategy: 'renderer'
})For strict custom cuts or component-library tests, disable injection and pass the virtual module explicitly:
// vite.config.ts
fileViewerRenderers({ formats: ['pdf'], inject: false, copyAssets: true })// Application viewer entry
import { configuredFileViewerRenderers } from 'virtual:file-viewer-renderers'
const options = {
renderers: configuredFileViewerRenderers,
rendererMode: 'replace'
}- Vue, React, Svelte, jQuery, and Vanilla JavaScript / Pure Web all receive the same
options; each package maps them to native props, hooks, actions, plugins, ormountViewer(...)parameters. preset-litecovers text, Markdown, code, images, audio, and video;preset-officecovers PDF / Word / Excel / PowerPoint / OFD;preset-engineeringcovers CAD / 3D / drawing / XMind / Geo / Typst / EDA / Data.- For the smallest custom bundle, skip presets, install individual renderers such as
@file-viewer/renderer-pdfor@file-viewer/renderer-word, and pass them throughoptions.renderers. fileViewerRenderers()orfileViewerRenderers({ copyAssets:true })auto-discovers installed presets without explicit configuration. Whenscan:trueis also enabled, usepreset:'auto'orautoPresets:trueto keep preset auto-discovery.scan:truedetectsfileViewerFormats,data-file-viewer-formats, and uploadaccepthints so development and production builds select matching renderers automatically.copyAssets:truecopies PDF/CAD/Typst/Archive/Data workers, WASM, and vendor assets for offline and enterprise intranet deployment; archive directories usevendor/libarchive/worker-bundle.js/libarchive.wasmfirst, while the compatibility path only covers ZIP/TAR/GZIP when the Worker cannot start.builtinRenderersremains available for advanced baseline control or historical compatibility. Normal quick starts only needpreset/renderersplusrendererMode.- If a file is in the supported matrix but its renderer is not assembled, the viewer shows the recommended preset / renderer package. Truly unknown extensions still show an unsupported-format state.
@file-viewer/preset-allprovides the published compatibility renderer matrix; Worker, WASM, font, and vendor assets still need to be deployed by the Vite plugin orfile-viewer-copy-assets.*-fullpackages already include this preset and must not install it again. DICOM and signature containers are later explicit opt-ins.
Every ecosystem package uses the same ViewerMountOptions and FileViewerOptions semantics, mapped to framework-native props, events, refs, actions, or plugin APIs.
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
url |
Remote file URL from object storage, business APIs, or intranet file services. |
file |
File, Blob, or ArrayBuffer for uploads, local selection, or already-fetched binary data. |
buffer |
Direct ArrayBuffer input after custom download, authorization, or decryption. |
name / filename |
Display name and extension hint. Pass it explicitly when the URL has no useful extension. |
type |
Explicit extension or MIME hint that overrides automatic detection. |
size |
File size hint used in lifecycle context, loading states, and safety limits. |
options |
The shared FileViewerOptions surface. Every component package keeps the same semantics. |
options.styleIsolation |
auto, shadow, scoped, or none. auto uses Shadow DOM for every standard component so host-page global CSS cannot break the toolbar or document; legacy projects can explicitly use none. |
onEvent / onStateChange |
Unified event and state subscriptions for imperative wrappers such as Vanilla JavaScript / Pure Web, React, and Svelte. Vue maps the same events to native emits. |
The table below lists the real props, event channel, and customization entry for every standard package. If you need imperative mount fields such as buffer, name, type, or size, prefer Vanilla JavaScript / Pure Web, React, Svelte, jQuery, or Vue 2. The Vue 3 declarative component intentionally keeps the compact url / file / options entry; wrap raw binary input as a named File when extension detection matters.
| Component | Actual props / entry | Event channel | Customization entry |
|---|---|---|---|
Vanilla JS / Pure Web @file-viewer/web |
<flyfish-file-viewer> attributes: src/url, filename/name, type, size, theme, toolbar, toolbar-position, watermark, search, options; also supports mountViewer(...) |
viewer-ready, viewer-event, viewer-state-change, viewer-error, onEvent, onStateChange, controller.subscribe() |
The Custom Element instance exposes the full controller handle; the IIFE script auto-registers it while keeping imperative mountViewer and the asset copy CLI. |
Vue 3 @file-viewer/vue3 |
url, file, options |
load-start, load-complete, unload-start, unload-complete, operation-before, operation-cancel, operation-availability-change, search-change, location-change, zoom-change, view-state-change, theme-change |
Template refs expose FileViewerExpose. For Blob / ArrayBuffer, prefer wrapping it as a named File so extension detection stays deterministic. |
Vue 2.7 @file-viewer/vue2.7 |
url, file, buffer, name, filename, type, size, options, containerClass, containerStyle |
viewer-event / viewerEvent |
The component instance exposes the full controller handle. This is the Vue 2.7 line behind the historical @flyfish-group/file-viewer package. |
Vue 2.6 @file-viewer/vue2.6 |
Same as Vue 2.7 | viewer-event / viewerEvent |
Separate Vue 2.6 build for long-lived applications that cannot move to Vue 2.7. |
React @file-viewer/react |
ViewerMountOptions plus native div props such as className, style, data-*, and aria-* |
onEvent, onStateChange |
ref exposes FileViewerHandle; useFileViewer() returns ref, props, state, and handle for custom toolbars. |
React Legacy @file-viewer/react-legacy |
Same as the React package | onEvent, onStateChange |
Targets React 16.8 / 17 with a legacy-friendly component export. |
jQuery @file-viewer/jquery |
$(el).fileViewer(ViewerMountOptions & { replace?: boolean }) |
onEvent, onStateChange, or getFileViewerController(el).subscribe() |
Plugin methods include zoomIn, printRenderedHtml, and searchDocument; replace:false updates the same node in place. |
Svelte @file-viewer/svelte |
ViewerMountOptions plus className and containerStyle |
on:viewerEvent, onEvent, onStateChange |
bind:this exposes the controller handle; the use:fileViewer action is also available and adds replace. |
| Options Field | Description |
|---|---|
theme |
light, dark, or system. This takes precedence over browser prefers-color-scheme. |
styleIsolation |
auto, shadow, scoped, or none. With auto, Web Component, IIFE, Vue, React, Svelte, jQuery, and full packages all use Shadow DOM by default. Legacy integrations that depend on deep class overrides can explicitly use none. |
watermark |
Text or image watermark with opacity, rotation, gap, size, font, and color controls. |
toolbar |
Controls the theme toggle, download, print, HTML export, zoom, item order, toolbar position, and operation-level preflight checks. |
search |
Document search, highlight class names, case sensitivity, whole-word matching, max matches, and debounce. |
ai |
Text collection, chunk size, and max text length for provenance, location, vectorization, and external AI workflows. |
archive |
Archive Worker/WASM URLs, timeout, cache, archive limits, nested entry preview limits, and legacy GBK/GB18030 ZIP filename decoding. |
pdf |
PDF.js worker, navigation pane, outline, thumbnails, rotation, streaming, range chunk size, and credentials. |
docx / spreadsheet |
DOCX is provided by @file-viewer/renderer-word and uses the self-maintained @file-viewer/docx engine with automatic worker/main-thread selection, continuous flow reading, and async rendering by default; visual pagination is opt-in. Spreadsheet is provided by @file-viewer/renderer-spreadsheet with fidelity-first parsing, automatic Worker use for large files, and opt-in header drag column resizing. |
iwork |
After explicitly installing the iWork capability, configure its Pages / Numbers / Keynote module Worker, timeout, ZIP/Snappy/IWA safety limits, and Quick Look fallback policy. It is not in the standard/full default closure. |
hangul |
After explicitly installing the Hangul capability, configure its HWP/HWPX module Worker, timeout, ZIP limits, and HWP record limits. It is not in the standard/full default closure. |
wordPerfect |
After explicitly installing the WordPerfect capability, configure its Worker, libwpd/librevenge WASM URL, and timeout. It is not in the standard/full default closure. |
presentation |
Standard includes PPTX/OpenXML; Office/All presets and Full packages also support binary .ppt / .pot. PPT uses an Apache-2.0 TypeScript engine and parsing Worker, without WASM or embedded fonts. Minimal installs can use file-viewer add ppt --write; custom routes can override pptModuleUrl / pptWorkerUrl. |
typst / data / cad |
After explicitly installing the matching capability, configure Typst, SQLite, or CAD/DWG/DXF/DWF WASM, worker, encoding, and rendering options. These capabilities are not in the standard/full default closure. |
hooks / beforeOperation |
Shared lifecycle hooks and operation preflight checks for audit, permission, telemetry, and safety controls. |
Every standard component uses strong Shadow DOM isolation by default. Host-page global rules for *, button, table, img, svg, canvas, and similar selectors should not leak into the viewer toolbar or rendered content, and viewer resets should not pollute the host page.
| Mode | Description |
|---|---|
auto |
Default. Web Component, IIFE, Vue, React, Svelte, jQuery, and full packages all use Shadow DOM so host-page CSS cannot break the toolbar or renderer content. |
shadow |
Creates an explicit ShadowRoot render surface. Use it when host CSS is uncontrolled, micro-frontends are mixed, low-code platforms inject global resets, or design systems have aggressive base styles. |
scoped |
Does not create a ShadowRoot. Uses a stable root selector and local resets to limit its impact while keeping controlled inheritance from the host. |
none |
Historical light-DOM behavior for projects that depend on deep class overrides, old theme CSS, or snapshot tests. |
styleIsolation is a mount-time boundary. Remount the component when changing modes. Both scoped and none use Light DOM, so high-specificity or !important host rules can still override them.
Customization should start with --file-viewer-* CSS variables for color, typography, spacing, radius, toolbar, and button styling. Use stable Shadow Parts only when a specific internal surface needs styling. The current Web shell exposes host, shell, toolbar, toolbar-group, toolbar-status, button, input, and content; renderer extensions should keep using stable names such as state-panel and watermark. Do not depend on internal class names; they are implementation details.
In this example, file-viewer-host is the class on the actual Shadow host. Pass it as class in Vue 3, containerClass in Vue 2, className in React / Svelte, or add it to the element initialized by jQuery.
.file-viewer-host {
--file-viewer-bg: #f7f9fc;
--file-viewer-text: #172033;
--file-viewer-toolbar-bg: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.96);
--file-viewer-button-color: #154b83;
--file-viewer-button-radius: 6px;
}
.file-viewer-host::part(toolbar) {
border: 1px solid rgba(20, 60, 100, 0.14);
}
.file-viewer-host::part(button) {
font-weight: 600;
}Framework packages use Shadow DOM without extra configuration; set it explicitly when you want to lock the policy:
const options = {
styleIsolation: 'shadow',
theme: 'light',
toolbar: { position: 'bottom-right' }
}| Config | Description |
|---|---|
toolbar: false |
Hides the built-in toolbar without disabling controller APIs such as download, print, export, and zoom. Use this for a fully custom business toolbar. |
toolbar: true |
Uses the default built-in toolbar. The theme toggle is visible by default; download, print, HTML export, and zoom remain capability-aware. |
download / print / exportHtml / zoom |
Expresses whether the host allows a button. Final availability is still computed from file type, render readiness, export adapter, and zoom provider state. |
theme |
Controls the light/dark toggle and defaults to true. A change emits theme-change; set it to false to hide the button. |
order |
Orders built-in groups with search, zoom, download, print, exportHtml, and theme. Omitted items keep their default relative order. |
position |
auto, top, top-center, or bottom-right. The default auto floats PDF actions at bottom right and keeps other formats top-right; use top-center for a centered top toolbar. |
beforeOperation |
Toolbar-level preflight that runs after options.beforeOperation. Returning false or throwing cancels the operation. |
beforeDownload / beforePrint / beforeExportHtml |
Operation-specific preflight for download permission, print audit, export confirmation, and similar business rules. |
For fully custom toolbars, hide the built-in toolbar and call the standard ref / controller APIs from your own UI. Do not implement zoom with an outer CSS transform: scale(); PDF, Excel, CAD, canvas-based, and text-layer renderers should use their internal zoom providers to keep coordinates correct.
Zoom state is reported by each renderer provider. After first-screen fit, container resize, or asynchronous PDF / Word / image layout, built-in toolbars show the real scale instead of assuming 100%. Custom toolbars should listen to zoom-change / operation-availability-change, or read getZoomState() / getOperationAvailability().
View-state sync is designed for projection systems, remote-control displays, side-by-side review, and reading-position restore. Every standard renderer loader gets a generic view-state provider that records at least renderer, zoom, and scroll position; PDF, XMind, Geo, 3D, and CAD add page, navigation, canvas pan, map center, camera, or native view snapshots. Pass options.initialViewState for first render, listen to view-state-change while running, and use getViewState() / applyViewState(state, { source: "api", action: "restore" }) on Pure Web / Vue3 controllers when an imperative restore API is needed.
| Ecosystem | Recommended pattern |
|---|---|
| Vanilla JS / Pure Web | Use <flyfish-file-viewer toolbar="false"> or mountViewer(container, { options:{ toolbar:false }, onStateChange }); custom DOM buttons can call zoomIn(), printRenderedHtml(), searchDocument(), and other element / controller methods directly. Use viewer-state-change or controller.subscribe() for advanced state sync. |
| Vue 3 | Pass :options="{ toolbar: false }", call downloadOriginalFile(), printRenderedHtml(), exportRenderedHtml(), zoomIn(), zoomOut(), and resetZoom() through the template ref, and sync buttons with @operation-availability-change plus @zoom-change. |
| Vue 2.7 / 2.6 | Use toolbar:false, call instance methods through $refs.viewer, and listen to @viewer-event for operation-availability-change or zoom-change. |
| React / React Legacy | Prefer useFileViewer({ options:{ toolbar:false } }); pass viewer.props to the component, bind custom buttons to viewer.handle, and read viewer.state.availability / viewer.state.zoom. |
| jQuery | Use $("#viewer").fileViewer({ options:{ toolbar:false } }); buttons can call $("#viewer").fileViewer("zoomIn") or read capability state through getFileViewerController($("#viewer")).subscribe(). |
| Svelte | Use <FileViewer bind:this={viewer} options={{ toolbar:false }} />; buttons call viewer.zoomIn() / viewer.printRenderedHtml(), with on:viewerEvent or onStateChange for state sync. |
| Event / hook | Description |
|---|---|
load-start / hooks.onLoadStart |
Fires when parsing or downloading starts. Context includes filename, type, source, version, URL, File, and size. |
load-complete / hooks.onLoadComplete |
Fires when the current document has rendered. Context includes duration, source data, and version. |
unload-start / hooks.onUnloadStart |
Fires before replace, reset, or component unmount so external state or resources can be saved. |
unload-complete / hooks.onUnloadComplete |
Fires after the previous document is released. The reason is replace, reset, or component-unmount. |
operation-before / operation-cancel |
Fires around download, print, HTML export, and zoom actions. Returning false from beforeOperation cancels the action. |
operation-availability-change |
Fires when download, print, HTML export, or zoom support changes for the active format. |
theme-change |
Fires when the built-in control selects light or dark mode. The payload is light or dark. |
search-change / location-change / zoom-change / view-state-change |
Fires when search matches, document anchors, zoom state, or full view-state snapshots change so host UIs, display screens, and reading-position restore flows can stay in sync. |
| API | Description |
|---|---|
load / update / reload / destroy |
Imperatively load, update, reload, and destroy the viewer. |
downloadOriginalFile() |
Downloads the original file while respecting toolbar and beforeOperation checks. |
printRenderedHtml(options?) |
Prints the complete rendered document using the best available per-format print adapter. Enabled watermarks are included; pass mask for cover regions. |
printWithMask(options?) |
Opens the black-cover mask designer, then prints. The designer is async-loaded inside core and works out of the box with component packages. |
exportRenderedHtml() |
Exports rendered HTML for archiving, audit, or offline review. |
zoomIn() / zoomOut() / resetZoom() |
Uses the active renderer zoom provider instead of outer CSS transforms that can break coordinates. |
searchDocument() / nextSearchResult() / previousSearchResult() |
Runs document-level search and navigates highlighted matches. |
collectDocumentAnchors() / scrollToAnchor() / scrollToLine() |
Collects pages, outline items, headings, or code-line anchors and scrolls to them. |
getDocumentTextChunks() |
Returns structured text chunks for search, AI provenance, vectorization, and external indexes. |
getOperationAvailability() / getZoomState() / getSearchState() |
Reads current capability, zoom, and search state for custom toolbars. |
| Asset | Description |
|---|---|
| Standard assets | @file-viewer/assets-standard copies only the workers, WASM, fonts, and vendor files required by the frozen standard profile: PDF, DOCX, PPTX, spreadsheet/OpenXML, and archives. Its transactional receipt records package version, profile hash, per-file SHA-256, and ownership. |
| Specialist asset owners | CAD, Typst, iWork, 3D, Data, Drawing, Hangul, WordPerfect, and legacy PPT each use an independent @file-viewer/assets-* package. @file-viewer/cli add <format> --write selects only that capability and its assets. |
| PDF / DOCX / Excel / PPTX | Standard self-hosts the PDF.js worker/fonts, DOCX worker, spreadsheet worker, and PPTX worker. PPTX charts and PDF Identity-font repair are explicit standard correctness capabilities, so charts and font repair are never silently omitted. |
| Archive / email / native media | The archive libarchive Worker/WASM is in standard assets. Email, common images, and browser-native media use lazy-loaded code. HLS, MIDI, RTF, Mermaid, patch, and git bundle remain explicit capabilities and are not auto-installed as npm peers. |
| Draw.io | The safe project-maintained Drawing fallback ships with its renderer. The official diagrams.net viewer is a separate heavy drawio-official capability and is not in the standard profile for new projects. The published capability boundary of historical *-full packages remains compatible. |
| Offline deployment | Runtime code does not use public CDNs. Vite copyAssets:true publishes installed asset owners; other tools use file-viewer install --yes or file-viewer assets --write. Owners merge transactionally into one deterministic runtime manifest independent of install order. |
| Deployment principle | New formats are opt-in by default and never expand an already published *-full package automatically. Specialist workers, WASM, and parsers load only when their format is used. New projects should prefer standard or selected capabilities; historical full integrations retain their existing matrix. |
- Component packages only depend on
@file-viewer/coreand their own ecosystem dependencies. They do not nest through another framework component package. - Format parsing, search, zoom, print, export, watermark, lifecycle, and beforeOperation semantics all come from the same core.
- Releases should pass type checks, component API verification, README generation checks, format-matrix verification, standalone repository export, and browser smoke tests.
