module.exports = {
  entry: './src/index.ts',
  target: 'node',
  output: {
    path: path.resolve(__dirname, 'dist'),
    filename: 'bundle.js',
  },
  resolve: {
    extensions: ['.ts', '.js'],
  },
  module: {
    rules: [
      {
        test: /\.ts$/,

This will bundle your TypeScript code using PDFKit into a single file (bundle.js) that you can run using Node.js to generate PDF files.

Remember to adjust the paths and configurations according to your project structure and requirements.
