Full Exaple:

Here is a complete example showing how to generate a PDF using your library

const generatePDF = require('tu-libreria');
const path = require('path');

const templatePath = path.join(__dirname, 'path-to-template.html');
const data = {
	title: 'Mi Plantilla de PDF',
	message: '¡Hola, mundo!',
};
const outputPath = path.join(__dirname, 'path-of-the-generated-file.pdf');

generatePDF(templatePath, data, outputPath);

Template Customization

The HTML template used to generate the PDF is fully customizable. You can edit the structure and styles of the template according to your needs. Make sure you keep the basic tags and attributes required by HTML.

Here's an example of a custom HTML template:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
  <meta charset="utf-8">
  <title>{{ title }}</title>
  <style>
    body {
      font-family: Arial, sans-serif;
    }
    h1 {
      color: #333;
    }
    p {
      color: #777;
    }
  </style>
</head>
<body>
  <h1>{{ title }}</h1>
  <p>{{ message }}</p>
</body>
</html>

Be sure to use the Handlebars {{ variable }} syntax to insert dynamic values into the template.

Advanced Use Cases

In addition to the basic use cases, this library also allows for more advanced operations. Here are some additional use case examples:

Generate a PDF with images If you want to include images in your HTML template, make sure you use the correct file paths. For example:

const data = {
   title: 'My PDF Template',
   message: 'Hello world!',
   imageUrl: 'path-to-image.png',
};

And in your HTML template:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
  <meta charset="utf-8">
  <title>{{ title }}</title>
  <style>
    /* Custom styles */
  </style>
</head>
<body>
  <h1>{{ title }}</h1>
  <p>{{ message }}</p>
  <img src="{{ imageUrl }}" alt="Imagen">
</body>
</html>

Customize Styles

You can customize the styles of your HTML template to suit your needs. Modify the CSS code inside the <style> tag of your HTML template. For example:

<style>
  body {
    font-family: Arial, sans-serif;
    background-color: #f2f2f2;
  }
  h1 {
    color: #333;
    font-size: 24px;
  }
  p {
    color: #777;
  }
</style>
