# HtmlToPdf

HtmlToPdf provides an easy-to-use interface for concurrently printing HTML to PDF on iOS and macOS.

## Features

- Convert HTML strings to PDF documents on both iOS and macOS.
- Lightweight and fast: it can handle thousands of documents quickly.
- Customize margins for PDF documents.
- Swift 6 language mode enabled

## Examples

Print to a file url:
```swift
try await "

Hello, World 1!

".print(to: URL(...))
```
Print to a directory with a file title.
```swift
let directory = URL(...)
let html = "

Hello, World 1!

"
try await html.print(title: "file title", to: directory)
```

Print a collection to a directory.
```swift
let directory = URL(...)
try await [
html,
html,
html,
....
]
.print(to: directory)
```

## Performance

The package includes a test that prints 1000 HTML strings to PDFs in ~2.6 seconds (using ``UIPrintPageRenderer`` on iOS or Mac Catalyst) or ~12 seconds (using ``NSPrintOperation`` on MacOS).

```swift
@Test func collection() async throws {
[...]
let count = 1_000
try await [String].init(
repeating: "

Hello, World 1!

",
count: count
)
.print(to: URL(...))
[...]
}
```

### ``AsyncStream``

Optionally, you can invoke an overload that returns an ``AsyncStream`` that yields the URL of each printed PDF.
> [!NOTE]
> You need to include the ``AsyncStream`` type signature in the variable declaration, otherwise the return value will be Void.

```swift
let directory = URL(...)
let urls: AsyncStream = try await [
html,
html,
html,
....
]
.print(to: directory)

for await url in urls {
Swift.print(url)
}
```

## Installation

To install the package, add the following line to your `Package.swift` file:

```swift
dependencies: [
.package(url: "https://github.com/coenttb/swift-html-to-pdf.git", from: "0.1.0")
]
```

You can then make HtmlToPdf available to your Package's target by including HtmlToPdf in your target's dependencies as follows:
```swift
targets: [
.target(
name: "TheNameOfYourTarget",
dependencies: [
.product(name: "HtmlToPdf", package: "swift-html-to-pdf")
]
)
]
```
