var fs = require('fs');
var path = require('path');

var file1 = fs
    .readFileSync(path.resolve(__dirname, 'template.docx'), 'binary');

var file2 = fs
    .readFileSync(path.resolve(__dirname, 'template1.docx'), 'binary');

var docx = new DocxMerger({},[file1,file2]);


//SAVING THE DOCX FILE

docx.save('nodebuffer',function (data) {
    // fs.writeFile("output.zip", data, function(err){/*...*/});
    fs.writeFile("output.docx", data, function(err){/*...*/});

Usage Browser

  • Async Load files using jszip-utils and then call the callback in the innermost callback.
  • Call the save function wit first argument as blob.
  • Better use Promises instead of callbacks.
  • Callback causes callback hell issue.
