# metalsmith-phantomjs-pdf
Converts HTML files from local filesystem to PDF with [phantomjs](http://phantomjs.org).
To use this package you do **not** need to install phantomjs, [phantomjs-prebuilt](https://www.npmjs.com/package/phantomjs-prebuilt) is installed for you.
## Usage
```js
var Metalsmith = require('metalsmith')
var changed = require('metalsmith-changed')
var pdf = require('metalsmith-phantomjs-pdf')
var fs = require('fs');
var path = require('path');
var ctimes = 'metalsmith-changed-ctimes-html.json';
// do the building
Metalsmith('.')
.source('build') // output-folder for another build, for example md -> html
.clean(false) // do not delete any files
.use(changed({ ctimes: ctimes }))
.use(deleteOldPDF)
.use(pdf())
.use(onlyCtimes)
.destination('build')
.build(function (err) {
if (err) {
console.error(err);
} else {
console.log('done');
}
});
/**
* Delete old PDF files (not depending on phantomjs overwriting)
*/
function deleteOldPDF (files, metalsmith, done) {
Object.keys(files).forEach(function (file) {
if (file !== ctimes) {
var oldPDF = path.join(metalsmith.source(),
file.replace(/\.html$/i, '.pdf'));
try {
fs.unlinkSync(oldPDF);
} catch (err) {
console.error('Unable to remove PDF: ' + oldPDF);
console.error(err);
}
}
});
done();
}
/**
* Remove HTML-files from build, such that they are not overwritten,
* as we are only reading them to get file URLs
*/
function onlyCtimes (files, _, done) {
Object.keys(files).forEach(function (file) {
if (file !== ctimes) {
delete files[file];
}
});
done();
}
```
