ConvertAPI is designed to make converting file super easy, the following snippet shows how easy it is to get started. Let's convert WORD DOCX file to PDF:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>Conversion Example</title>
<script src="https://unpkg.com/convertapi-js/lib/convertapi.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<h1>ConvertAPI JavaScript library example</h1>
<h2>Conversion Example</h2>
<p>
<label for="fileInput">Select DOCX file to convert it to PDF</label>
<input id="fileInput" type="file" accept="application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document">
</p>
<p id="result">
Result file:
<a id="resultLink" href=""></a>
</p>
<script src="index.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
let convertApi = ConvertApi.auth({secret: '<YOUR_SECRET>'})
let elResult = document.getElementById('result')
let elResultLink = document.getElementById('resultLink')
elResult.style.display = 'none'
// On file input change, start conversion
document.getElementById('fileInput').addEventListener('change', async e => {
elResult.style.display = 'none'
document.documentElement.style.cursor = 'wait'
try {
// Converting DOCX to PDF file
let params = convertApi.createParams()
params.add('file', e.currentTarget.files[0])
let result = await convertApi.convert('docx', 'pdf', params)
// Showing link with the result file
elResultLink.setAttribute('href', result.files[0].Url)
elResultLink.innerText = result.files[0].Url
elResult.style.display = 'block'
} finally {
document.documentElement.style.cursor = 'default'
}
})
This is the bare-minimum to convert a file using the ConvertAPI client, but you can do a great deal more with the ConvertAPI JS library.
Take special note that you should replace <YOUR_SECRET> with the secret you obtained in item two of the pre-requisites.
