docusaurus-to-pdf

docusaurus-to-pdf is a CLI tool that generates a PDF from a Docusaurus-based documentation website. The tool allows customization of the scraping process via a configuration file or CLI options.

Installation

You can use npx to run the tool without installing it globally:

npx docusaurus-to-pdf

Usage

By default, the tool looks for a configuration file named scraper.config.json. However, you can override this by providing specific options through the CLI.

CLI Options

Examples

Below, you'll find some example configurations that can be placed in a scraper.config.json file.

Example 1: Scraping specific directories

Only paths which include 'auth' and 'support' will be included in the output:

CLI equivalent: npx docusaurus-to-pdf --baseUrl https://hasura.io --entryPoint https://hasura.io/docs/3.0 --directories auth support

{
  "baseUrl": "https://hasura.io",
  "entryPoint": "https://hasura.io/docs/3.0",
  "requiredDirs": ["auth", "support"]
}

Example 2: Scraping all directories

CLI equivalent: npx docusaurus-to-pdf --baseUrl https://hasura.io --entryPoint https://hasura.io/docs/3.0 --output ./output/all-docs.pdf

{
  "baseUrl": "https://hasura.io",
  "entryPoint": "https://hasura.io/docs/3.0",
  "outputDir": "./output/all-docs.pdf"
}

Example 3: Scraping without specifying the output directory

CLI equivalent: npx docusaurus-to-pdf --baseUrl https://docusaurus.io --entryPoint https://docusaurus.io/docs

{
  "baseUrl": "https://docusaurus.io",
  "entryPoint": "https://docusaurus.io/docs"
}

Example 4: Scraping with custom styles

This will add override the existing styles of tables to have a max-width of 3500px, which is typical for an A4 sheet of paper.

CLI equivalent: npx docusaurus-to-pdf --baseUrl https://hasura.io --entryPoint https://hasura.io/docs/3.0 --customStyles 'table { max-width: 3500px !important }'

{
  "baseUrl": "https://hasura.io",
  "entryPoint": "https://hasura.io/docs/3.0",
  "customStyles": "table { max-width: 3500px !important }"
}

Example 5: Scraping without lazy loading on images

CLI equivalent: npx docusaurus-to-pdf --baseUrl https://docusaurus.io --entryPoint https://docusaurus.io/docs --forceImages

{
  "baseUrl": "https://docusaurus.io",
  "entryPoint": "https://docusaurus.io/docs",
  "forceImages": true
}
