# NewHaru

PDF Creation C++ Library, made by [Nicolas Almerge](https://github.com/NicolasAlmerge).

It is based on the C library [LibHaru](https://github.com/libharu/libharu), but provides an easier, cleaner and simpler syntax with object oriented patterns, exception handling and flexibility.

## Usage

```cpp

#include "include/NewHaru.hpp"

#include "iostream"

int main() {

    pdf::Document document;

    // Print 'true' or 'false' instead of '1' and '0' for boolean types

    std::cout << std::boolalpha;

    try {

        // Open the document

        document.open();

        // Get font 'Helvetica'

        pdf::Font font = document.getFont("Helvetica");

        // Add a page at the end of the document

        pdf::Page page = document.addPage();

        // Set the pdf creation date to December 10th, 2002 at 12:15:30 PM

        document.setAttribute(

            pdf::enums::DateTimeAttribute::CREATION_DATE,

            {2000, 12, 10, 12, 15, 30}

        );

        // Set font and size

        page.setFontAndSize(font, 12);

        // Write text at specified positions

        page.writeText("This is a test\n", {50, 50});

        page.writeText("This is a second test\n", {150, 50});

        // Create a new text annotation and set the icon to a help icon

        pdf::TextAnnotation annotation = page.createTextAnnotation(

            "Hi there!", {200, 200, 200, 200}

        );

        annotation.setIcon(pdf::enums::AnnotationIcon::HELP);

        // Save to file

        document.saveToFile("output.pdf");

    } catch (const pdf::excepts::Exception& e) {

        // Print the exception name and description in case one occurred

        std::cout << e.getFullDescription() << std::endl;

    }

    return 0;

}

```

## Compilation

For MacOS, you first need to install [Homebrew](https://brew.sh).

After installing, you should install [libharu](https://formulae.brew.sh/formula/libharu) using:

```sh

brew install libharu

```

Then, you can compile your program by running:

```sh

g++ -std=c++17 -o output -O2 -Wall program.cpp NewHaru/src/*.cpp -I$(brew --prefix)/include/ -L$(brew --prefix)/lib/ -lhpdf -lpng -lz -lm

```
