puppeteer-cli

puppeteer-cli

A general command-line wrapper for puppeteer. Currently only supports one command—print—to render a local/or remote HTML file to PDF. Aims to be a easy replacement for the deprecated wkhtmltopdf.

Usage

puppeteer print <input> <output>

Print an html file to pdf

  --version       Show version number                                  [boolean]

  --marginLeft                                               [default: "6.25mm"]
  --format                                                   [default: "Letter"]
  --landscape                                         [boolean] [default: false]

Example

npm install -g puppeteer-cli
echo "<h1>Hello world!</h1>" > mypage.html
puppeteer print mypage.html myprint.pdf # local file
puppeteer print https://github.com/JarvusInnovations/puppeteer-cli puppeteer-cli.pdf # url

Roadmap

• Add print command
• Add support for http:// inputs in addition to local file paths
• Add compatibility with wkhtmltopdf parameters to provide a drop-in replacement?
• Add screenshot command
• Detect .json or .js files as input to screenshot command instead of a single HTML file or URL, specifying a set of screenshots to capture in series
