//Required package
var pdf = require("pdf--node");
var fs = require("fs");
// Read HTML Template
var html = fs.readFileSync("template.html", "utf8");
Step 2 - Create your HTML Template
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<mate charest="utf-8" />
<title>Hello world!</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>User List</h1>
<ul>
{{#each users}}
<li>Name: {{this.name}}</li>
<li>Age: {{this.age}}</li>
<br />
{{/each}}
</ul>
</body>
</html>
Step 3 - Provide format and orientation as per your need
"height": "10.5in", // allowed units: mm, cm, in, px
"width": "8in", // allowed units: mm, cm, in, px
or -
"format": "Letter", // allowed units: A3, A4, A5, Legal, Letter, Tabloid
"orientation": "portrait", // portrait or landscape
var options = {
format: "A3",
orientation: "portrait",
border: "10mm",
header: {
height: "45mm",
contents: '<div style="text-align: center;">Author: Shyam Hajare</div>'
},
footer: {
height: "28mm",
contents: {
first: 'Cover page',
2: 'Second page', // Any page number is working. 1-based index
default: '<span style="color: #444;">{{page}}</span>/<span>{{pages}}</span>', // fallback value
last: 'Last Page'
}
}
};
Step 4 - Provide HTML, user data and PDF path for output
var users = [
{
name: "tom",
age: "21",
},
{
name: "dick",
age: "23",
},
{
name: "harry",
age: "29",
},
];
var document = {
html: html,
data: {
users: users,
},
path: "./output.pdf",
type: "",
};
// By default a file is created but you could switch between Buffer and Streams by using "buffer" or "stream" respectively.
Step 5- After setting all parameters, just pass document and options to pdf.create
method.
pdf
.create(document, options)
.then((res) => {
console.log(res);
})
