table-json-to-jpeg

json-to-jpeg

This package allows you to convert a 2 dimensional JSON array into a jpeg image. Some potential uses:

• Including a table module for a text editor that doesn't support tables
• Displaying data to a user on your website

Soon, it will support converting csv and xsl files as well.

Installation

npm install table-json-to-jpeg --save

Note: Depends on Node Canvas which depends Cairo and Pango. Head over to that repo, and follow the quick instruction for the easy install based on your OS.

Usage

var data = [
	['col1', 'col2', 'col3'],
	['col1 row2', 'col2', 'col3'],
	['col1 row3', 'col2', 'col3']
]
new TableToJpg(data).printImage("outfile.jpg").then(() => {
        console.log("successfully created table")
      })
      .catch((e) => {
        console.log("error creating table " + e.message);
      });

Note: use Array of Rows, which = array of columns as input data.
