Usage

To use this package, you need to import the function http from @cincel.digital/doc-convert-request.

Converting a File to PDF

The http function allows you to convert a file to PDF by sending an HTTP POST request to the specified URL. The function takes two parameters: the URL and the file to be converted.

import { request } from "@cincel.digital/doc-convert-request"

const upload =
const filepicker = document.getElementById("filepicker") as HTMLInputElement

filepicker.addEventListener("change", (event) => {
  const file = event.target.files?.[0]
  if (!file) return
  request("http://example.com/convert", file)
    .then((pdfFile) => {
      return pdfFile
    })
    .catch((err) => {
      console.error(err)
    })
})

Downloading a Raw URL

The downloadRawURL function allows you to generate a download URL for a PDF file. It takes a File object as input and returns a URL that can be used for downloading the file.

import { request, downloadRawURL } from "@cincel.digital/doc-convert-request"

const filepicker = document.getElementById("filepicker") as HTMLInputElement

filepicker.addEventListener("change", (event) => {
  const file = event.target.files?.[0]
  if (!file) return
  request("http://example.com/convert", file)
    .then((pdfFile) => {
      const downloadRawURL = downloadRawURL(pdfFile)
      window.open(downloadRawURL, "_blank")

      return pdfFile
    })
    .catch((err) => {
      console.error(err)
    })
})
