npm i doctrack -S
import { DocTrack, Docx, Docm, Dotm, Dotx, Xlsx, Xlsm, Xltm, Xltx } from 'doctrack';
const inputFilePath = './input.docx';
const outputFilePath = './output.docx';
const trackingPixelUrl = 'http://localhost:5001/tracking';
// xlsx - new Xlsx, docm - new Docm and etc
const doctrack = new DocTrack(new Docx(inputFilePath), trackingPixelUrl);
// Write result document to file
await doctrack.writeResultToFile(outputFilePath);
After open result document (output.docx) with office editor will be requested url: http://localhost:5001/tracking
.
You can pass input file as buffer, stream or file:
import fsPromise from 'node:fs/promises';
// As file
const doctrack = new DocTrack(new Docx('./input.docx'), trackingPixelUrl);
// As Buffer
const fileBuffer = await fsPromise.readFile('./input.docx');
const doctrack = new DocTrack(new Docx(fileBuffer), trackingPixelUrl);
// As Stream
const fileStream = fs.createReadStream('./input.docx');
const doctrack = new DocTrack(new Docx(fileStream), trackingPixelUrl);
You get result file as buffer, stream or file:
// Write result document to file
await doctrack.writeResultToFile('./output.docx');
// Write result document to buffer
const buffer = await doctrack.writeResultToBuffer();
// Write result document to stream
const stream = await doctrack.writeResultToStream();
