JSPM – htmltopdfnew@1.0.5

Package Exports

htmltopdfnew
htmltopdfnew/index.js

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (htmltopdfnew) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Installation Instructions

Install Required System Dependencies

For Puppeteer to function correctly on Linux, you'll need to install the following system dependencies:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y libnss3 libx11-xcb1 libxcomposite1 libxcursor1 libxdamage1 libxi6 libxtst6 libnss3 libnss3-dev libasound2 libatk1.0-0 libatk-bridge2.0-0 libcups2 libdrm2 libgbm1 libglib2.0-0 libxrandr2

$ npm install -g htmltopdfnew


## Code example
```javascript
var fs = require('fs');
var pdf = require('htmltopdfnew');
var html = fs.readFileSync('./test.html', 'utf8');
var options = { format: 'Letter' };
pdf.create(html, options).toFile('./businesscard.pdf', function(err, res) {
  if (err) return console.log(err);
  console.log(res); // { filename: '/app/businesscard.pdf' }
});

API

var pdf = require('htmltopdfnew');
pdf.create(html).toFile([filepath, ]function(err, res){
  console.log(res.filename);
});

pdf.create(html).toStream(function(err, stream){
  stream.pipe(fs.createWriteStream('./foo.pdf'));
});

pdf.create(html).toBuffer(function(err, buffer){
  console.log('This is a buffer:', Buffer.isBuffer(buffer));
});


// for backwards compatibility
// alias to pdf.create(html[, options]).toBuffer(callback)
pdf.create(html [, options], function(err, buffer){});

Footers and Headers

htmltopdfnew can read the header or footer either out of the footer and header config object or out of the html source. You can either set a default header & footer or overwrite that by appending a page number (1 based index) to the id="pageHeader" attribute of a html tag.

You can use any combination of those tags. The library tries to find any element, that contains the pageHeader or pageFooter id prefix.

<div id="pageHeader">Default header</div>
<div id="pageHeader-first">Header on first page</div>
<div id="pageHeader-2">Header on second page</div>
<div id="pageHeader-3">Header on third page</div>
<div id="pageHeader-last">Header on last page</div>
...
<div id="pageFooter">Default footer</div>
<div id="pageFooter-first">Footer on first page</div>
<div id="pageFooter-2">Footer on second page</div>
<div id="pageFooter-last">Footer on last page</div>
