ReactToPrint - Print React components in the browser

Build Status dependencies Status npm version

So you've created a React component but would love to give end users the ability to print out the contents of that component. This package aims to solve that by popping up a new print window with CSS styles copied over as well.

Install

npm install react-to-print --save-dev

          <th>column 1</th>
          <th>column 2</th>
