Generating PDFs with Node is as easy as making an HTTP request. The Node code below is a functional example of a basic PDF creation.
1. Install the request module for easy HTTP request management.
$ npm install request
2. Make your docs!
var request = require('request');
var fs = require('fs');
var content = "<html><body>TEST!</body></html>";
config = {
url: 'https://docraptor.com/docs',
encoding: null, //IMPORTANT! This produces a binary body response instead of text
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json'
},
json: {
user_credentials: "YOUR_API_KEY_HERE",
doc: {
document_content: content,
type: "pdf",
test: true,
// prince_options: {
// media: "screen", // use screen styles instead of print styles
// baseurl: "http://hello.com" // URL to use for generating absolute URLs for assets from relative URLs
// }
}
}
};
request.post(config, function(err, response, body) {
fs.writeFile('doc_raptor_sample.pdf', body, "binary", function(writeErr) {
console.log('Saved!');
});
});
