ViewsPdfmake keep two rows together on page break when to page break on table
For the pdfmake, I have a table in which it uses two rows per record. Ex: 
and when the table breaks it breaks by each row. However, I want it to break after or before 2 rows in a table, which you keep the two rows together in one page.
Instead of :
I want the two rows to be in the same page. Is there a way to make sure this happens? I've tried to use the pageBreakBefore function, however I'm not that intuitive with it and there haven't been any good examples online.
var dd = {
content: [
'The following table has nothing more than a body array',
{
style: 'tableExample',
table: {
dontBreakRows:true,
// headerRows:1,
body: [
[{text:'Col', colSpan:3, fillColor:'grey'}, {},{}],
[{text:'Column 1',fillColor:'blue'}, {text:'Column 2',fillColor:'blue'}, {text:'Column 3',fillColor:'blue'}],
['One value goes here', 'Another one here', 'OK?'],
[{text:'Description:\n'+'sdfgdhfjsfgvbnfhjfhjfghjgfjgfjfhjfghjgffghjgfasfsjgkfldshgfkld',colSpan:3}],
['One value goes here', 'Another one here', 'OK?'],
[{text:'Description:\n'+'sdfgdhfjsfgvbnfhjfhjfghjgfjgfjfhjfghjgffghjgfasfsjgkfldshgfkld',colSpan:3}]
,
['One value goes here', 'Another one here', 'OK?'],
[{text:'Description:\n'+'sdfgdhfjsfgvbnfhjfhjfghjgfjgfjfhjfghjgffghjgfasfsjgkfldshgfkld',colSpan:3}]
, ['One value goes here', 'Another one here', 'OK?'],
[{text:'Description:\n'+'sdfgdhfjsfgvbnfhjfhjfghjgfjgfjfhjfghjgffghjgfasfsjgkfldshgfkld',colSpan:3}]
, ['One value goes here', 'Another one here', 'OK?'],
[{text:'Description:\n'+'sdfgdhfjsfgvbnfhjfhjfghjgfjgfjfhjfghjgffghjgfasfsjgkfldshgfkld',colSpan:3}]
, ['One value goes here', 'Another one here', 'OK?'],
[{text:'Description:\n'+'sdfgdhfjsfgvbnfhjfhjfghjgfjgfjfhjfghjgffghjgfasfsjgkfldshgfkld',colSpan:3}]
,
],
}
},

You could define these rows as separate tables, each in one row in root table. This way, rows won't be separated because they will be in one row in top-level table

You can handle it like this:
pageBreakBefore: function(currentNode, followingNodesOnPage, nodesOnNextPage, previousNodesOnPage) {
//Here you can change the criteria of pageBreak according to your requirement
if (currentNode.id === 'myid' && (currentNode.pageNumbers.length != 1 || currentNode.pageNumbers[0] != currentNode.pages)) {
return true;
}
//Here you can change the criteria of pageBreak according to your requirement
else if (currentNode.id === 'mySecondid' && currentNode.pageNumbers.length != 1) {
return true;
}
return false;
},
