Install

Using npm

> npm install tea-school

Using yarn

> yarn add tea-school

Usage

All the power you need resides in PugJs, Node-Sass and Puppeteer.
You have the documentation for each one of them, and you simply pass the same object of configuration.

Example in TypeScript

For further inspection look at the examples folder

import {GeneratePdfOptions, generatePdf} from 'tea-school';
import * as path from 'path';

const options: GeneratePdfOptions = {
    htmlTemplatePath: path.resolve(__dirname, 'pdf-template.pug'),
    styleOptions: {
        file: path.resolve(__dirname, 'pdf-template.scss')
    },
    htmlTemplateOptions: {
        contextRelatedVar: 'Timothy'
    },
    pdfOptions: {
        // Omit to get output as buffer solely
        path: 'pdf-file.pdf',
        format: 'A4',
        printBackground: true
    }
}

(async () => {
    const pdfBuffer: Buffer = await generatePdf(options);
})();
template.pug
// Use !{var} to use unescaped conent
style(type="text/css") !{compiledStyle}

div#banner-message
    p Hello, #{name}
    button My god, this is amazing
template.scss
$blue: #0084ff;
$blue-darker: darken($blue, 5);

body {
  background: #20262E;
  padding: 20px;
  font-family: Helvetica;
}

#banner-message {
  background: #e0e0e0;
  border-radius: 4px;
  padding: 20px;
  font-size: 25px;
  text-align: center;
  transition: all 0.2s;
  margin: 0 auto;
  width: 300px;

  button {
    background: $blue-darker;
    border: none;
    border-radius: 5px;
    padding: 8px 14px;
    font-size: 15px;
    color: #fff;
  }
}

Running the examples in the package

Use ts-node to run the index.ts without pre-compiling it.

> npm i -g ts-node
> ts-node examples/basic-usage/index.ts

Alternatively, just compile the index.ts using tsc.

> npm i -g typescript
> cd examples && tsc
> node ./basic-usage/index.js

Important

The key compiledStyle is reserved on the Pug options for the compiled style to be attached to the html.
Please do not use this key (or use at your own risk)
