# HTML to PDF

This project provides an easy way to convert HTML to PDF using Google Chrome. It is designed to be used in a Docker environment. It is fast because it reuses the same instance of Chrome.

## Prerequisites

[Google Chrome installed on the Docker image](#notes)

## Installation

```bash

pnpm add @diomalta/html-pdf

```

## Usage

First, import the `init` functions when initializing your application:

```javascript

import { init, convertHtmlToPdf } from '@diomalta/html-pdf';

import Application from '@diomalta/http-server';

// Initialize the HTML to PDF service

init({ port: 39489 });

// Create a new Application instance

const app = new Application({ port: 3000 });

// Define a GET route to convert HTML to PDF

app.get('/html-to-pdf', (req, res) => {

  const html = '
Hello, world!
';


  const outputOptions = {

    type: 'base64',

  };

  const base64Pdf = await convertHtmlToPdf({ html, outputOptions });

  res.status(200).send(base64Pdf);

});

// Start the server on port 3000

app.listen({ port: 3000 });

```

## Notes

Make sure that Google Chrome is installed on your Docker image. If it is not, you can install it by adding the following lines to your Dockerfile:

```dockerfile

RUN wget -q -O - https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub | apt-key add -

RUN sh -c 'echo "deb [arch=amd64] http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google.list'

RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y google-chrome-stable

```

This will add the Google Chrome repository to the APT sources list, update the package list, and install Google Chrome.
