Html-pdf-lambda NPM

Follow these steps to convert HTML to PDF

Step 1 - install the pdf creator package using the following command
$ npm i html-pdf-lambda --save
--save flag adds package name to package.json file.

Step 2 - Add required packages and read HTML template

  //Required package
  const pdf = require("html-pdf-lambda");
  const fs = require("fs");

  // Read HTML Template
  const html = fs.readFileSync("template.html", "utf8");

Step 3 - Create your HTML Template

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8" />
    <title>{{ title }}</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 4 - Provide HTML and user data

const data = {
    title: "Hello World!",
    users: [
      {
          name: "Shyam",
          age: "26",
      },
      {
          name: "Navjot",
          age: "26",
      },
      {
          name: "Vitthal",
          age: "26",
      },
    ]
  };
// The file buffer will be developed;

Step 5 - After setting all parameters, just pass document and options to pdf.create method.

pdf
  .create(html, data)
  .then((res) => {
    console.log(res);
  })
  .catch((error) => {
    console.error(error);
  });
