@shelf/aws-lambda-libreoffice

aws-lambda-libreoffice

85 MB LibreOffice to fit inside AWS Lambda compressed with Brotli

Inspired by chrome-aws-lambda

:information_source: Compiled LibreOffice version: 6.1.0.0.alpha0

Install

$ yarn add @shelf/aws-lambda-libreoffice

NOTE: Since version 2.0.0 npm package no longer ships the 85 MB LibreOffice but relies upon libreoffice-lambda-layer instead. Follow the instructions on how to add a lambda layer in that repo.

Usage

const {convertTo} = require('@shelf/aws-lambda-libreoffice');

module.exports.handler = async () => {
  // assuming there is a document.docx file inside /tmp dir
  // original file will be deleted afterwards

  return convertTo('document.docx', 'pdf'); // returns /tmp/document.pdf
};

Or if you want more control:

const {getExecutablePath, defaultArgs} = require('@shelf/aws-lambda-libreoffice');

const loBinary = await getExecutablePath(); // /tmp/instdir/program/soffice

execSync(`${loBinary} ${defaultArgs.join(' ')} --convert-to pdf file.docx --outdir /tmp`);
