# node-context
> A simple, Promise-based nodejs wrapper for the awesome [ConTeXt](http://contextgarden.net) document language.
Compiles your ConTeXt-flavored tex files to PDF, with all the same options available natively.
## Install
> **Note:** This module assumes that context is in your `$PATH`. I recommend using [ConText Standalone](http://wiki.contextgarden.net/ConTeXt_Standalone) to get the latest version.
With npm...
```
$ npm install --save context
```
...or with yarn
```
$ yarn add context
```
## Usage
```js
const context = require('context');
\\ Simple example...
context('hello.tex')
\\ With options...
context('hello.tex', {interface: 'en', purge: true}).then(() => {
console.log('Document compiled!');
});
```
