Generating PDFs with Node is as easy as making an HTTP request. The Node code below is a functional example of a basic PDF creation.
1. Install the request module for easy HTTP request management.
$ npm install request2. Make your docs!
var request = require('request');
var fs = require('fs');
var content = "<html><body>TEST!</body></html>";
config = {
url: 'https://docraptor.com/docs',
encoding: null, //IMPORTANT! This produces a binary body response instead of text
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json'
},
json: {
user_credentials: "YOUR_API_KEY_HERE",
doc: {
document_content: content,
type: "pdf",
test: true,
// prince_options: {
// media: "screen", // use screen styles instead of print styles
// baseurl: "http://hello.com" // URL to use for generating absolute URLs for assets from relative URLs
// }
}
}
};
request.post(config, function(err, response, body) {
fs.writeFile('doc_raptor_sample.pdf', body, "binary", function(writeErr) {
console.log('Saved!');
});
});
With DocRaptor, it's fast and painless to convert HTML, CSS, and JavaScript into PDF and XLS documents with Node. Below are working Node examples for creating documents. Our API reference lists all the generation options and our style and formatting guide will help make it look perfect.
