wkhtmltox-promise v1.2.4

wkhtmltox-promise

A simple wrapper for wkhtmltopdf/wkhtmltoimage for ES 2016/2017 using promises. Downloads and installs the latest wkhtmtopdf lib (0.12.4) on linux.

Installation:

npm i wkhtmltox-promise

API:

pdf(source, dest, options)
	returns Promise

image(source, dest, options[, ignore])
	returns Promise

source = any valid URI

dest = any valid URI

options = (optional*) array of arguments passed to wkhtmltopdf / wkhtmltoimage

see https://wkhtmltopdf.org/usage/wkhtmltopdf.txt for details.

ignore = (optional*) array( or object of keys) of errors, or string error to ignore in the child. If the substring in the childs stderr, the promise will resolve anyway. This feature is intended to support some wkhtmltox errors that don't prevent the pdf generation from succeeding, but nonetheless report an exit status > 0 and would otherwise reject.

Examples:

PDF

const convert = require("wkhtmltox-promise");

convert.pdf("http://www.google.com", "out.pdf")
	.then(result => {
		var stdout = result.stdout;
        console.log('stdout: ', stdout);
		// do something with out.pdf
    })
    .catch(function (err) {
        console.error('ERROR: ', err, err.stderr);
    });

Image

const convert = require("wkhtmltox-promise");

convert.image("http://www.google.com", "out.png")
	.then(result => {
		var stdout = result.stdout;
        console.log('stdout: ', stdout);
		// do something with out.png
    })
    .catch(function (err) {
        console.error('ERROR: ', err, err.stderr);
    });

Ignoring errors

const convert = require("wkhtmltox-promise");

convert.pdf("http://www.google.com", "out.png", ['--quiet'], ['UnknownContentError'])
	.then(result => {
		var stdout = result.stdout;
        console.log('stdout: ', stdout);
		// do something with out.pdf
    })
    .catch(function (err) {
        console.error('ERROR: ', err, err.stderr);
    });
